Classification of Supported Objects

Whether used in conjunction with PeopleSoft®, Oracle® Applications, or a generic application, Quest® Stat® enables developers to work with objects in a more secure, controlled, and well-documented manner.

In Stat, any action you take involving an object is handled and recorded on its associated CSR, including editing, archiving, or migrating it to other environments. In addition, Stat lets you place a lock on an object once you associate it with a CSR. Object locking promotes coordination between developers by ensuring that they do not overwrite each other’s work.

For Oracle Applications, there are five classes of objects that you can associate with CSRs:

•

File Objects

Quest® Stat® supports change management for file type objects. In addition to the predefined Oracle Applications file type objects (reports, forms, form libraries) that Stat automatically supports, system administrators can configure Stat to support user-defined file object types. These include custom file type objects residing in your Oracle® Applications environments as well as generic file type objects that exist outside the Oracle Applications file structure.

Configuring Stat to support file objects includes defining working directories where users can modify file objects assigned to them.


	NOTE: In the case of VCM file objects, system administrators can configure Stat to archive the objects entirely or just pointers to those objects, meaning the objects are not physically brought in to Stat. For more information on the directories Stat uses to access Oracle Applications proprietary file objects, see the Stat System Administration Guide, “Appendix: Oracle Applications File Type Directory”.
