Steps to Implement Data Archive Manager

Step1: Create Archive Object

Archive Record: Record from data need to archive.

Base Record: The record is selected is the base record of this archive object. This is a check box and only one can be base record.

History Record: History Record to which transaction data is needed to archive.

History Record Structure (Example):

1. Save as HR_ACCTG_LINE record to HRACTLN_HST and don’t copy any peoplecode associated with record HR_ACCTG_LINE.

2. Insert Subrecord PSARCHIVE_SBR at top in the record as shown in below image.

3. Build the table.

Step2: Create Archive Query

Archive Query contain Archive record name and all field selected.

Criteria: This is required to add criteria which filter the data for archiving.

Step3: Archive Template

Step4: Running Archive Process

Process Type:

1. Selection: Copy data from Archiving Record to History Record.

2. Delete: Deleting data from Archiving Record.

3. Remove from History: Deleting data from History Record.

4. Rollback: Copy data from History Record to Archiving record.

Note: Select the process type and run the process.

External People(non–employee / Applicant) Access for PeopleSoft Pages

Below steps helps to give access to components for external people.

This is required for many scenarios. Some Examples are:

1. Forgot password – Helps employee to retrieve login password.

2. External Candidate – Helps to apply  job for the company.

3. External candidate to register course – Helps external candidates to apply course. etc..

Steps to to give access for external people:

Step 1: Create a user id as EXTERNAL and set a password(PS) for it.Assign "External Applicant" & "Recruitment User"(optional) roles to this user-id. Save it.

Important : Do not attach any other Role to this user id.

Screens of roles

Step2: go to PeopleTools --> Webprofile --> Webprofile Configuration.

Then choose the profile (E.g. DEV)

Navigate to the "Security" tab and check "allow public access" and give the userid "EXTERNAL" and password "PS" and save it.

Step3: To access page use the below format.

"http://Your IP:Port/psc/ps/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/ComponentName.Market"

In Scroll Area, Clicking from "View All" to "View 1" Creates Empty Space

Problem Description:

In some scroll areas, when clicking from "View All" to "View 1" link, the page doesn't remove the extra space that was used from "View All" mode.

Solution:

For PeopleTools 8.50: This bug has been fixed on Patch 8.50.03 and higher.

For PeopleTools 8.52: This bug has been fixed on Patch 8.52.10 and higher. In normal case, we have tested for this issue on patch 10 and its working good for View all and View 1 action but some scenarios this is broken.

 

Reference document from oracle support: [Doc ID 1062053.1]

Release Value Proposition: PeopleTools 8.53 feature analysis

Oracle has planned to enhance/add below features in PeopleTools 8.53.

1. User Interface
2. PeopleSoft Search Framework
3. Lifecycle Management
4. Server Administration and Infrastructure
5. Security Administration
6. Integration Technology
7. Reporting and Analysis Tools
8. Development Tools

1. User Interface

a) Dramatic New Look and Feel: New style sheet for good look and feel. These changes also lay the groundwork for future user interface changes.

b) Related Actions/Related Content: PeopleTools 8.53 brings Related Actions to Pivot Grids, allowing users to take actions directly on data displayed in a pivot grid.

                                                         A new Related Actions widget can be used to display the Related Actions menu. This feature eliminates the need for a developer to write code for displaying the optional menu and for defining HTML areas on pages to display Related Actions.

                                                         Related Services can be configured in groups, which make it simpler to configure the same services that appear in multiple places.

c) WorkCentres and Dashboards: Application developers and designers can deploy dashboard-like pagelets within WorkCenters to provide better decision support for WorkCenter transactions. This capability combines some of the features and benefits of Dashboards with WorkCenters.

                                                    Applications can now consume remote pagelets in WorkCenters, Homepages, and Dashboards.

d) Activity Guide: In 8.53, the Activity Guide enables application developers to define a list of action items tied to transactional, collaborative, or manual tasks. The action item represents a task that can be tracked for assignment and completion, and is secured by roles and user lists. Activity Guides also enable a hierarchical list of action items.

                            A new Activity Guide WorkCenter template is available for use with building and configuring Activity Guides. This template provides a frame with the navigation controls used to traverse an Activity Guide. The WorkCenter template also provides the following features:

• A status bar to indicate the progress of the Activity Guide, and the Active Action item is highlighted.
• Ability to do pre-processing and post-processing for an action item.
• Ability to assign an action item to a role or a user.
• Ability to create dependency rules for action items.

2. PeopleSoft Search Framework

PeopleSoft Application Search framework features include:

• A search experience that functions similarly to the internet, providing a look and feel that users will find both familiar and intuitive.
• An Application Search that is available at any point in an application and can be configured to span multiple PeopleSoft applications. It enables users to initiate transactions or navigate to key information without using the PeopleSoft application menu or returning to the homepage to do so.
• The ability to use filters and facets to narrow result sets, further enabling users to identify and navigate to specific application content.
• Search results that display in prioritized order by relevance based on the provided search terms.
• Related Action menus that are embedded directly in the search results, allowing users to navigate straight to specific related transactions, which are prepopulated with the selected search results data.
• A Component Search function that enables users to search by keyword, thereby extending the versatility of virtually all existing search pages.

Key PeopleSoft Search Framework Enhancements:

• Performance
• New source types
• Oracle SES instance sharing
• Multiple FTP credential support
• Monitoring and diagnostics
• Duplicate search results
• Increased operator support

3. Lifecycle Management

a) PeopleSoft Update Manager

b) Configuration Management with the Data Migration Workbench(A brand new tool): The Data Migration Workbench is a new tool that helps users manage the process of moving configuration data from one system to another.

c) PeopleSoft Test Framework: Enhanced to support a number of new PeopleTools features and capabilities.

d) Three-Way Merge Support

4.  Server Administration and Infrastructure

a) Platform Components

b) Extending 64-bit Support to the Windows Server Platform: The application server uses 64-bit binaries on the Windows Server platform. The 32-bit Windows code for the application server will no longer be available.

c) A New Home for Customizations - PS_CUST_HOME : This change is optional; customers may continue to use a traditional PS_HOME if desired.

d) PeopleSoft Application Management Pack for Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c

e) Offload PS/nVision Workloads with Active Data Guard and Golden Gate

f) Support for Firefox Extended Support Releases: Firefox 17 is the anticipated minimum ESR to be certified with PeopleTools 8.53.

5. Security Administration

a) Secure by Default Initiative:

• Deliver all UserIDs with a password that must be set during Installation.
• Salt-enabled user Passwords.

6. Integration Technology

a) JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) from Documents

b) REST Web Services

c) Integration Network Enhancements

• Automated Network Status and Real-Time Notification of Errors
• Improved Life Cycle Utilities
• Bulk Update of Permission for Service Operations

7. Reporting and Analysis Tools

a) Reporting Console Enhancements:

• Drag-and-drop of folders and Process Bookmark as a sibling.
• Drag-and-drop of folders and Process Bookmark as a child of an existing folder.
• Rename of folders.
• Import folders and Process Bookmark of existing user.
• Dynamic Context Menu option on folder and Process Bookmark row for add, edit, rename, delete options.

b) New My Reports Pagelet:

• Display list of different systems/databases containing the reports and providing functionality for filtering reports based on a particular database.
• Opening of the actual report directly instead of a page to display a list of files.
• Grouping of multiple instances of the same report.

c) Chart Enhancements: PeopleTools 8.53 introduces a number of Chart Enhancements, including making use HTML, CSS3, and JavaScript instead of the server-based chart engine. The new charts incorporate improvements in scrolling and display and more closely match the overall PeopleTools look and feel.

d) Pivot Grid Enhancements:

• Multi Select Filters that provide the ability to filter data on multiple values instead of a single value.
• Progressive Filtering that shows only valid values for the current filter selection when a filter value is modified.
• Dynamic passing of prompt values into the Pivot Grid being displayed in a Related Content frame or in Related Actions.
• Chart-only view allows users to change layout using grid.
• Enabling of Pivot Grid pagelets to interact with each other and with transaction pages. Prompt and filter value changes can be published and subscribed to in real-time.
• Enhancements to the user interface.
• Pivot Grid Administration Component provides module to clone and delete Pivot Grid Models and personalization.
• Enhancements to the Pivot Grid Wizard.

8. Development Tools

PeopleTools 8.53 introduces a new feature in Application Designer that allows developers to define the field label alignment for new or modified pages. A configuration property can be set that defines whether new field labels should be right or left aligned. This feature greatly streamlines the otherwise manual process of field label alignment. Once a field is placed on a page, the developer retains the ability to change the label alignment where necessary.

Related content link in Dropdown

As shown in Image to create related content link in Dropdown we need to follow below steps.

Assumption: Component is created and Related content setup is done.

Below steps need to be done to use Related content in drop down.

Step1: Adding HTML Area to page.

Place a HTML area in the page to the created component.

Here “N_RELATED_ACTNS” is a custom Long char field.

In General Tab provide “RELATEDACTIONS” as page field name as shown in the image

Step 2: Hiding the Related Action Page field and making it modified by JavaScript.

Here People ID is the Related action Field defied in Related action setup page.

Make this field is hidden and set the page field property as below Image.

Note: Modified by JavaScript should be enabled.

Step 3: Code to set Related action to HTML area.

/*****************Start - Related Actions*************************/
For &i = 1 To &rs_var.ActiveRowCount
   &sActionShortLabel = &rs_var(&i).N_HR_EE_DB_WRK.N_RELATED_ACTNS.GetShortLabel("RELATED_ACTION");
   &sPopUpMenuJavaScript = GetHTMLText(HTML.N_GET_POPUPMENU);
   &rs_var(&i).N_HR_EE_DB_WRK.N_RELATED_ACTNS.Value = &sPopUpMenuJavaScript | GetHTMLText(HTML.N_REL_ACTIONS, String(&i - 1), "N_PEOPLE_ID_DR", "%Image(PT_BTN_ARROW)", &rs_var(&i).N_MSSACTION_EMP.N_PEOPLE_ID.Value, &rs_var(&i).N_MSSACTION_EMP.N_PEOPLE_ID.Value);
   
End-For;
/*****************End - Related Actions*************************/

Note: “ String(&i - 1)” is required if this is used in grid/scroll else this can be eliminated.

Custom HTML object Definitions used in above code:

1. N_GET_POPUPMENU  - (Object Type is HTML)

<script language="JavaScript">
function ShowPopUpMenu(sFieldName,nRow, sActionFieldName)
{
       CreateContextMenu(sFieldName,nRow, 3,"", 0, 0,"","%FormName",sActionFieldName);
       return ;
}
</script>

PeopleTools iPad Certification

Error on Javascript in PeopleTools 8.52: "hAction_win0 is not defined"

Below code may not work from PeopleTools 8.52. But this will work on below version of tools release (i.e. 8.50, 8.51).

hAction_win0(document.win0,pageFldName,0,0,inlabel,false,true); 

Reason:

"hAction_win0" is no longer used in PeopleTools 8.52.

Solution:

"hAction_win0" can be replaced with "submitAction_win0" for 8.52 PeopleTools.

Sample code:

submitAction_win0(document.%FormName,pageFldName,0,0,inlabel,false,true); 

Rowset FILL Method with JOIN / UNION Keyword

FILL method helps to fill stand alone rowset from database directly.

But sometimes it is required to fill rowset Using JOIN / UNION Keyword.

1. Using JOIN Keyword.

Local Rowset &rs = Createrowset(Record.TL_RPTD_TIME);

&rs.Fill("INNER JOIN PS_TL_RPTD_TIME TM ON TM.EMPLID = FILL.EMPLID WHERE FILL.PUNCH_TYPE = '0' AND FILL.EMPLID = :1", &emplid);

2. Using UNION Keyword.

Local Rowset &rs = Createrowset(Record.PERSON);

&rs.Fill("WHERE 1=0 UNION SELECT EMPLID, %DateOut(BIRTHDATE),BIRTHPLACE,BIRTHCOUNTRY,BIRTHSTATE,%DateOut(DT_OF_DEATH),%DateTimeOut(LAST_CHILD_UPDDTM) FROM PS_PERSON WHERE EMPLID = :1", &emplid);

Configuring Report Manager

 

Steps to configure and get Reports in Report manager.

1. Enable getting Reports in Report Manager.

2. Add New Folders.

3. Get new files to Process Monitor.

4. Assign/Create required Permission Lists/Roles to Users.

5. Configure the process.

6. Create a new run control id.

7. Run it.

8. Verify it.

 

For any reports to be visible to other people in Report Manager we need to do the following:

1. Activate the following Service Operations

• · Check Active (in Default Service Operation Version)

2. To Add New Folders, add them here. This is just to group by folders and has no security tied to it.

•   Verify they come up

3.  To get new files to Process Monitor

· Add PRL in System Settings –> Distribution File Options –> Add PRL & Description

• Bounce the Process Scheduler
• After running the report verify that the file is pulled up

4.  Create new permission list

• Add Report Manager access and Report Viewer access.

• ·Click Select All to give the Report Viewer Page access.

• Add other Reports access. This gives the option to run the reports. If the users don’t want/need to run the reports this may be skipped.

5.  Add new Role

• Add this role to users

• Verify required users got the Role

6.  Change the Process Destination, set the Destination Source, Folder Name and Distribute To.

7.   Run the process

• Create a new run control id

• Chose the process

• To ensure everything is correct, Click on the Job (Description)

• Click on Distribution of required Process, we must be able to see the given Folder Name and the Role.

8.  Verify the distribution by going to Report Manager –> List

Sending Multiple attachment using MCF Send mail method.

Below is the sample code to send multiple attachment in mail using MCF Send() mail method.

Local any &FromURL = "record://PV_ATT_DB_SRV/";
Local string &FILENAME;
Local Rowset &rwln1 = CreateRowset(Record.PV_ATTACHMENTS);
Local SQL &Sql1 = CreateSQL("select attachsysfilename from PS_PV_ATTACHMENTS a,ps_SPF_RESUME_ATT b where a.scm_attach_id=b.scm_attach_id  and b.person_id=:1", "000000000000025", &FILENAME);

While &Sql1.Fetch(&FILENAME)
   &attach = create PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFBodyPart();
   Local string &ToFile = "C:/user/" | &FILENAME;
   Local any &errorCode = GetAttachment(&FromURL, &FILENAME, &ToFile);

   If &i = 1 Then
      &multiattach = CreateArray(&attach);
      &multiattach [&i] = &attach;
   Else
      &multiattach [&i] = &attach;
   End-If;
   &multiattach [&i].SetAttachmentContent(&ToFile, %FilePath_Absolute, &FILENAME, " ", "", "");
   &mp.AddBodyPart(&multiattach [&i]);
End-While;

Local PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFBodyPart &test1 = create PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFBodyPart();
Local PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFBodyPart &eMail1 = create PT_MCF_MAIL:MCFBodyPart();

&eMail1.Text = &Message;
&mp.AddBodyPart(&eMail1);
&eMail.MultiPart = ∓
&res = &eMail.Send();

Local boolean &done;

Evaluate &res
When %ObEmail_Delivered
   /* every thing ok */
   &done = True;
   MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, "Email Sent Successfully");
   Break;
When %ObEmail_NotDelivered
   /* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! */
   /* Check &email.InvalidAddresses, &email.ValidSentAddresses */
   /*   and &email.ValidUnsentAddresses                        */
   /* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! */
   &done = False;
   MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, "Email Not delivered" | &eMail.InvalidAddresses | &eMail.ValidSentAddresses | &eMail.ValidUnsentAddresses);
   Break;
When %ObEmail_PartiallyDelivered
   /* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! */
   /* Check &email.InvalidAddresses, &email.ValidSentAddresses */
   /*   and &email.ValidUnsentAddresses                        */
   /* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! */
   &done = True;
   MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, "Email Partially delivered" | &eMail.InvalidAddresses | &eMail.ValidSentAddresses | &eMail.ValidUnsentAddresses);

   &done = False;
   MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, "Email Failed Before Sending" | &eMail.ErrorDescription | &eMail.ErrorDetails);
   Break;
End-Evaluate;

If &done = True Then
   While &Sql1.Fetch(&FILENAME)
      Local string &deleteFile = "C:/user/" | &FILENAME;
      Local JavaObject &f = CreateJavaObject("java.io.File", &deleteFile);
      &f.delete();
  End-While;
End-If;

Note: This is sample code. This required to include necessary application package and to declare objects.

Move and Delete files using PeopleCode

We can use the below java object and code to move or deleting files from some location.

Moving file:

Local JavaObject &source = CreateJavaObject("java.io.File", "/source/file.txt");
Local JavaObject &target = CreateJavaObject("java.io.File", "/target/file.txt");

&source.renameTo(&target); 

Deleting file:

Local JavaObject &DelLoc = CreateJavaObject("java.io.File", "/source/file.txt");

&DelLoc.delete(); 

Alternate code for deleting file:

&tmpfile = GetFile(“c:\temp\file.txt”, “W”, “A”, %FilePath_Absolute);
&tmpfile.Delete();

Add duration(number value) to Time field.

People Code to add duration to time field.

Example:

Here START_TIME, END_TIME is time field and DURATION is number field.

InPut: StartTime(START_TIME ) = 8:00AM and Duration(DURATION ) = 12

OutPut: EndTime(END_TIME) = 8:00PM

Sample Code:

Declare Function Return_DateTime_value PeopleCode TIME_TBL.START_TIME FieldFormula;
Declare Function Return_Hour_Min_Part PeopleCode TIME_TBL.START_TIME FieldFormula;

Local datetime &TIME_VALUE;
Local integer &MINUTES;

&DUR_VALUE = TIME_TBL.DURATION.Value;
&StartTime = TIME_TBL.START_TIME.Value;

Return_DateTime_value(&StartTime, &DUR_VALUE, &TIME_VALUE);
Return_Hour_Min_Part(&DUR_VALUE, &HOUR_PART, &MINUTES);

TIME_TBL.END_TIME.Value = TimePart(AddToDateTime(&TIME_VALUE, 0, 0, 0, &HOUR_PART, &MINUTES, 0));

Defining Functions:

Function Return_DateTime_value(&StartTime, &DUR_VALUE, &TIME_VALUE As datetime);
   Local date &RefDate;
   &RefDate = Date3(2000, 1, 1);
   &TIME_VALUE = &RefDate + &StartTime;
End-Function;

Function Return_Hour_Min_Part(&DUR_VALUE, &iHour, &iMinutes As integer)
   &temp = String(&DUR_VALUE);
   &iHour = Value(Substring(&temp, 1, 2));
   &iPos = (Find(".", &temp));
   If &iPos > 0 Then
      &sMinutes = Substring(&temp, &iPos + 1, 2);
      If Substring(&sMinutes, 1, 1) = "0" Or
            Len(&sMinutes) > 1 Then
         &iMinutes = Value(&sMinutes);
         &iMinutes = ((&iMinutes / 100) * 60)
      Else
         &iMinutes = Value(&sMinutes);
         &iMinutes = ((&iMinutes / 10) * 60)
      End-If;
   Else
      &iMinutes = 0;
   End-If;
End-Function;

XSL function to convert number to word

Below code is used to convert Word from number in XSL.

Change Access Password

The symbolic ID is the account used by PeopleSoft to link users (operators) to the system account which is stored as ACCESSID in the PSACCESSPRFL record and encrypted.
Syntax to change or update password is:
CHANGE_ACCESS_PASSWORD [SymbolicID] [Password]
Alternative Method:
If user(“SYSADM” for Oracle and “SA” for MSS) is altered by the below query,

ALTER USER username IDENTIFIED BY password

then below scripts need to execute.

UPDATE PSSTATUS SET OWNERID = 'SYSADM';
UPDATE PSOPRDEFN SET SYMBOLICID = 'SYSADM1', OPERPSWD = OPRID, ENCRYPTED = 0;
UPDATE PSACCESSPRFL SET ACCESSID = 'SYSADM', SYMBOLICID = 'SYSADM1', ACCESSPSWD = 'SYSADM', VERSION = 0, ENCRYPTED = 0;
GRANT SELECT ON PSSTATUS TO people;
GRANT SELECT ON PSOPRDEFN TO people;
GRANT SELECT ON PSACCESSPRFL TO people;

Now login to Data-Mover in bootstrap mode and execute the below script.

 
REM - ENCRYPT PASSWORD
/
SET LOG d:\dbsetup_log\encrypt.log;
ENCRYPT_PASSWORD *;
/

Note: Make sure Connect-ID (people) account is not locked and correctly entered to configuration manager.

How To Delete an AWE Approval Process ID, Definition and Related Data

Below scripts helps to delete AWE related data.

Each Delete statement should be specific and include Key values.  This Example uses PrcsName & DefnName, which should be replaced with correct values, as well as the specific Effective Date (EFFDT) be used.

 

The Step Table;
DELETE FROM PS_EOAW_STEP
WHERE EOAWPRCS_ID = 'ThePrcsName' AND EOAWDEFN_ID = 'TheDefnName' AND EFFDT = '05-SEP-11'

The first of three Criteria Tables;
DELETE FROM PS_EOAWCRTA
WHERE EOAWCRTA_ID LIKE '%PrcsNameDefnName2011-09-05%'

The second of three Criteria Tables.
DELETE FROM PS_EOAWCRTA_REC
WHERE EOAWCRTA_ID LIKE '%PrcsNameDefnName2011-09-05%'

The thrid of three Criteria Tables.
DELETE FROM PS_EOAWCRTA_VAL
WHERE EOAWCRTA_ID LIKE '%PrcsNameDefnName2011-09-05%'

The Table used to hold Timeout information for Notification and Escalation processing;
DELETE FROM PS_EOAW_TIMEOUT
WHERE EOAWPRCS_ID = 'ThePrcsName' AND EOAWDEFN_ID = 'TheDefnName' AND EFFDT='05-SEP-11'

The Path Table;
DELETE FROM PS_EOAW_PATH
WHERE EOAWPRCS_ID = 'ThePrcsName' AND EOAWDEFN_ID = 'TheDefnName' AND EFFDT='05-SEP-11'

The Stage Table;
DELETE FROM PS_EOAW_STAGE
WHERE EOAWPRCS_ID = 'ThePrcsName' AND EOAWDEFN_ID = 'TheDefnName' AND EFFDT='05-SEP-11'

And finally the AWE Process table;
DELETE FROM PS_EOAW_PRCS
WHERE EOAWPRCS_ID = 'ThePrcsName' AND EOAWDEFN_ID = 'TheDefnName' AND EFFDT='05-SEP-11' `
