Associating Related PeopleSoft Proprietary Objects

Certain types of PeopleSoft proprietary objects are related to other PeopleSoft proprietary objects. Using default Stat settings, you must add these objects individually to your CSR. However, you can configure Stat to add these related objects automatically. You do this by selecting a user preference that prompts you for related objects whenever you add a supported object type. This feature behaves in a similar manner to the prompt in PeopleSoft when inserting objects into a project.

To configure Stat to prompt you to add related objects, select User Options | Stat Options. Stat displays the Stat User Options window. Select Prompt for PS Related Objects. If the option is not selected, Stat will not prompt for related objects and will not add them automatically.

Stat supports subobjects of Record and Field object types (Record Fields for Records and Field Labels for Fields). Associating subobjects allows you to modify their values in an archive set separately from the values of their parent objects. For example, in a PeopleSoft patch or upgrade, a Record object definition might have a CopyProp Action value, while one of its Record Field subobjects might have a Delete Action value.

You should add subobjects to a CSR only when you need to mark their Upgrade and Action values separately from their parent objects. For more information, see Modifying Object Upgrade and Action Values .

PeopleSoft projects may also include ‘orphaned’ subobjects, meaning that the project does not include parent objects. If this is the case, Stat adds the parent objects automatically to the CSR when you add the orphaned subobjects through the Read Project Wizard (described in the following section, Associating Objects in PeopleSoft Projects ).

Parent objects added by Stat for orphaned subobjects are indicated by a red folder icon in the Flags column of the Object List. This is for informational purposes only. If for any reason you want to change the designation of a parent object in relation to orphaned subobjects, select the parent object, right-click and in the pop-up menu, select either Mark as parent for orphans to flag the object as a parent object or UnMark as parent for orphans to remove the flag.

NOTE: Once you select an object type, the Add button is activated and the Ignore button is deactivated. Also, you can use the Select All and Deselect All icon buttons to select or deselect all the listed object types.

(Optionally) Keep the Apply for all objects option selected if you want Stat to apply the same action you are currently specifying (Add or Ignore) to any other affected object being added to the CSR.

Associating Objects in PeopleSoft Projects

Stat can read a PeopleSoft environment and add all the PeopleSoft proprietary objects associated with a project to your CSR. This is done with the PeopleSoft Project Read Wizard. Use this wizard to associate multiple PeopleSoft proprietary objects to a CSR.

For PeopleSoft, you can also use the Project Read wizard to read in the objects of a PeopleSoft patch (defined in terms of a maintenance project). This way, Stat automatically populates the Patches tab of the CSR with the information contained in the project, such as incidents and dependencies.

To read in a patch with the Project Read Wizard, the patch must be designated as a Maintenance Project in PeopleSoft. In addition, to display this information in Stat, the Patches tab must activated for the CSR.

For more information on the Patches tab, see Patches Tab .

1
On the Objects tab, click Read Project....
2
In the PeopleSoft database field select the environment containing the project.
Select Add project definition to CSR if you want to add the PeopleSoft project definition to the CSR, where it can be locked, archived, and migrated along with the other objects. A comment is automatically written for each object saying that it was added by way of the Read Project Wizard and the name of the project used to bring in the object. This allows you to track the project by name throughout the lifecycle of the CSR. For more information, see Archiving PeopleSoft Project Definitions .
Select Add only objects with a changed target status if the project contains an especially large number of objects and you want to decrease processing time by adding only the objects that have been modified to your CSR.
Select Overwrite properties for existing objects if you want to update the existing CSR objects’ upgrade and copy properties to reflect the objects’ upgrade and copy properties in the project. This will also update the subobjects and their properties.
Select Make selected project the CSR managed project if you want to keep the project’s object list as defined in App Designer synchronized with the project’s object list as managed in the CSR. Selecting this option enables you to quickly update the objects associated with a CSR via the Project Read Wizard whenever the project is changed in App Designer. For more information, see the following section Synchronizing Project Definitions .

Synchronizing Project Definitions

If you used the Project Read wizard to add objects to your CSR and selected the option, make the selected project the CSR’s managed project, you can quickly keep the project definition synchronized between App Designer and your CSR. This way, whenever the project definition is changed in App Designer (either by adding objects, removing objects, or modifying object properties in the project such as the delete vs. copy flag), you can update the object list in your CSR to reflect these changes.

After adding the objects to your CSR with the Project Read wizard, the project name appears in a drop down list next to the Sync button, which replaces the Read Project button.

When you click Sync, Stat obtains the project definition from any database as defined in the CSR’s migration path and updates the CSR’s object list in the following ways:

If Stat cannot find the project in the selected environment when you click Sync, an error message is displayed. Also, if you want to run the Read Project Wizard again after synchronizing a project in a CSR, delete the name of the project in the Project Name field. This switches the Sync button back to Project Read. If you have multiple projects associated with a CSR, the name of each project appears in the Project Name field dropdown list. Select the one you want to synchronize.

Associating Objects in File Folders

As with a PeopleSoft project, Stat can read a folder and add all the file objects it contains to a CSR. This is done with the Read File Wizard, which functions much the same way as the PeopleSoft Project Read Wizard.

1
2
Click the Browse button. Then locate the folder containing the file objects you want to associate with the CSR and click OK.
4
Click Next>.

Stat adds the file objects to your CSR and associates each file with a file type, as determined by that file’s extension. For example, if you select files with the .sql extension, Stat will associate these files with the file type defined by your system administrator with the .sql extension. If more than one file type has been defined with the same extension, Stat prompts you to select which file type you want.

This final step may take some time, depending on the number of objects being added. A status bar advises you of Stat’s progress. Before the status bar reaches 100% you can interrupt the process by pressing the <Enter> key.
