CSR Purge Wizard

With proper security rights, you can use the CSR Purge Wizard to export closed CSRs to a .csr file and then permanently them from the Stat database. When exporting CSR data, you select what pieces of CSR information you want to archive. This way, if for any reason you want to retrieve a CSR after it has been deleted, you can use the wizard to import that same data back into the Stat database.

To open the CSR Purge Wizard, select Tools | CSR Purge Wizard.

Exporting and Purging CSRs

You can use the CSR Purge Wizard to export closed CSRs to a .csr file and then permanently delete them from the Stat database.

When creating the export file, you can pick which items to include. If an item is NOT included in the export file, it cannot be restored. Exportable CSR items include:

Select Export to export CSR data without deleting the CSRs from the database.
Select Purge to delete selected CSRs from the database. Optionally, select the Export before purge option (recommended).
NOTE: The Export before purge option remains selected unless the user has the right to purge without an export.

Importing CSRs

If you used the CSR Purge Wizard to delete a CSR but first exported its data to a .csr file, you can use the CSR Purge Wizard to retrieve the CSR information and recreate the deleted CSR in the Stat Database.

Impact Wizard

When a developer modifies an object, sometimes other objects are affected unexpectedly or without your knowledge. Before any changes are made to an object, you can run the Impact Wizard to determine which object types might be affected and how many instances of these object types exist in selected environments.

The Impact Wizard can be run from a CSR, or from the Object Management menu:

When run from the Object Management menu, you must specify the change management module, the environment, the object type, and then the individual objects you want to run the wizard ‘against,’ after which you specify the object type(s) you want to run the wizard ‘on.’

Although you can run the Impact Wizard for all the object classes supported by Stat (PeopleSoft proprietary objects, file objects, data objects, and schema objects), the methods used by the wizard to return the list of possibly affected objects vary depending on the classification of the objects it is run ‘against’ vs. the classification of object types it is run ‘on’. The following table presents the 16 possible object class combinations and describes the impact analysis method used by the wizard for each. A description of
‘N/A’ means that no impact is possible between the object class the wizard is run ‘against’ and the object class it is run ‘on.’

PS Object

PS Object

Returns related objects (such as records and pages that reference fields)

PS Object

File Object

Searches for the string displayed in the Object Name column in the CSR's object list.

File Object

File Object

 

Searches for the Object Name string in the file, including the file extension

File Object

Schema Object

 

N/A if the file object is not marked as a ‘db script.’

If a file object is marked as a “db script”, it parses the script and returns schema objects referenced in script. If the objects returned from the script do not contain the schema owner, Stat finds the schema owner of the object by referencing the database that the impact is run against. If more than one schema owner has an object with the same name, the user is prompted to select the schema owner they want returned. Schema objects are stored in Stat with their schema owner.

In addition to the analysis methods detailed in the above table, keep in mind the following considerations when running the wizard:

When searching for impacts on file objects, the wizard temporarily copies files to the Log Destination Directory defined in the Stat User Options window. When the search is complete, the wizard deletes the files.
