Q1What PeopleTools version does your target system need to be on in order to apply an update from the latest FSCM Image 017 ?

Any PeopleTools release from 8.53.11 upwards.A

Q2What version of PeopleTools must your Upgrade Workstation be running?

The same version as your Update Image is. So, for FSCM 017 that’s 8.55.01.

Q3Can the PeopleSoft Image and Upgrade Workstation coexist on the same machine?

Yes, they can but they don’t need to.A

Q4What is an Adynaton?

We’ll find out later…… A

4. Load Customisation Metadata to Image

Export target Project to File

Import Project to CA

One at a time!

Warning !!!

Page has NOT been customised but is included in project

18

4. Some advice on handling Customisation Projects

Only include customised objects in project

One large project with all objects works ok

Much simpler to loadup into Image

However, will only tell you if the Update contains a customised object

A project for each customisation (typical for many customers)

More projects to loadup into Image – time consuming (exportable)

More granular view of what customisations are affected 19

Discussion

• What are the obstacles to putting in place iterative patching process ?

• Are you having technical challenges?

• Concerned about the value of Selective Adoption ?

PeopleSoft in the Cloud

What is Cloud ?

Set of solutions to a defined set of problems*

1. On demand hardware (server and networking)

2. Platform as a Service (PaaS) - (Database, Integration, Web, Dev.)

3. Applications on subscription basis (SaaS)

All System Failures are Caused

by the Things we Put in Place

to Protect ourselves Against System Failures*

Here’s how it goes….

1. You buy a server

2. It throws out warm air

3. You need power protection so you add a second power supply

4. It throws out more warm air

5. Just in case power fails you add battery backup

6. Even more warm air

7. So let’s add some air conditioning

8. But what if the aircon fails…
