Modifying Object Upgrade and Action Values

After PeopleSoft proprietary objects have been archived in an archive set, you can modify their default Upgrade and Action values. You can change an object’s Upgrade value to “do not upgrade” and its Action value from “copy” to “delete.” Then, when you migrate the archive set, you have the option of using a Stat-created PeopleSoft project, in which case the project uses the objects’ Upgrade and Action values specified in the archive set.

Be aware the Upgrade and Action values for objects specified in the archive set are only used in a migration when a Stat-created PeopleSoft project is used. They are not used when you use a PeopleSoft project contained within an archive set to perform the migration. In this case the Upgrade and Action values are set at the time you archived the project definition, and the Upgrade and Action settings in the archive set are ignored. For more information, see Migration Overview .

Deleting Objects

Stat lets you delete unwanted objects from selected PeopleSoft environments on a migration path. After adding the unwanted objects to an archive set, you can mark them for deletion. When you migrate an archive set containing objects marked for deletion to an environment, Stat deletes them from that environment. However, you can always recover deleted objects since they remain archived in the Stat Repository.

To mark objects for deletion:
1
Add the objects to the archive set.
2
When the Archive Set has completed, open the Migration Flags tab of the archive set.
3
In the Action field, change the setting to Delete.
4
Click OK.

If you decide that you do not want to delete an object marked for deletion before you migrate it, go back to the Migration Flags tab and in the Action field change the setting to Copy. Stat is now configured to migrate the object as it normally would by placing a copy of the object in the target environment rather than deleting it.

* 
TIP: When you migrate an object marked for deletion, the object is deleted from that environment and cannot be included in any later archive sets taken from that environment. Because of this, it is recommended that you create an interim archive set of all of the objects that are marked for deletion before you migrate them. You can then migrate the interim archive set to each environment in which you want to delete the objects.
Modifying Object Upgrade Values

When you first add an object to an archive set, the Upgrade option is selected by default, as indicated in the Migration Flags tab. You can de-select this option for any object in an archive set. When the object is migrated to an environment, the PeopleSoft project created by Stat in the staging database includes the object’s modified Upgrade value.

To modify the upgrade value of an object:
1
Add the objects to the archive set, as described in the previous section, Associating Objects with CSRs (PeopleSoft) .
2
Open the Migration Flags tab.
3
Select or de-select the Upgrade option for each object you want.
4
Click Ok to save the CSR.
Modifying Subobject Upgrade and Action Values

Stat supports subobjects of Record and Field object types (Record Fields for Records and Field Labels for Fields). Adding a subobject to an archive set allows you to modify its values separately from the values of its parent object. 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.

For more information on associating subobjects to CSRs, see Associating Related PeopleSoft Proprietary Objects .

* 
IMPORTANT: Changing the Action and Upgrade values in an archive set only affects the objects when they are migrated with Stat-created projects. If the user migrates an archive set using a project contained in the archive set, PeopleSoft uses the flags that are set in the project itself regardless of whether or not they match what was set on the archive set.
To modify the upgrade and action value of a subobject:
1
Create an archive set with Records and/or Fields along with their subobjects.
2
Open the Migration Flags tab.
By default, all subobjects are marked Upgrade with an Action value of Copy (unless associated to the CSR by means of the Read Project Wizard, in which case they retain the values specified in the project).
The default Action value of parent objects is CopyProp. This indicates that PeopleSoft will take action on just the property of the parent object, and it will look to the individual subobject for what action to take - Copy or Delete. This is primarily used when a user is trying to delete a field from a record, or trying to add new fields.
If a user overrides the default value CopyProp of a parent objects and sets it to Copy, then all of the subobjects will be copied, regardless of the flags set on them.
3
For each subobject that you want to unmark for upgrade, deselect its corresponding Upgrade option.
4
For each subobject that you want to change the Action value, click in the Action column and select Delete or Copy depending on the action you want taken on the subobject. 
5
Click Ok to save the CSR.

Copying Archive Sets

When you copy an archive set, the copy retains the migration order and any object upgrade and action values set on the source archive set.

To copy an archive set:
1
In the Archive Sets table, select the archive set you want to copy and click Copy.
* 
NOTE: Only archive sets with a complete-type status can be copied.
This opens the Archive Set window where you can edit the properties of the copied archive set as needed, including the archive type and source environment. You can also modify the object upgrade and action value settings.
When copying archive sets, be aware of the following:
•
You can select a different source environment, but if the objects don't exist in the new source, you have to add the missing objects if you want to include them in the copy.
•
When you save a copy as a final archive set, the number of objects in the archive set must equal the number of objects in the base archive set. If not, Stat prompts you to add the objects when you try to save the archive set.
2
Add a description of the archive set, and (optionally) edit the properties of the archive set as needed.
3
Click OK.

Archive Set Logs

The Logs tab of the archive set window displays any messages Stat logged during the archive process.

This tab provides you with a complete list of messages logged by Stat. It is a running log of the activities involved with the archive sets.

The Logs tab displays the following information:

Date and Time

The date and time the message was logged.

Object

Archive sets are created by processes run by different objects in Stat. These object processes each have their own capabilities and tasks. The Object column displays the Stat object that reported the message. These objects include:

•
Mgr – The manager object creates, destroys, and instructs all the other objects
•
Trg – Indicates the target environment
•
Src – Indicates the source environment
Type

There are three types of messages: Information, Error, and Warning.

Information

The text of the message.

Buttons

The Objects tab features the following short cut buttons:

•
Next Error – Navigates you through your error/warning messages
•
Print – Prints the contents of the window. Pressing this button automatically sends a job to the printer. There are no print options.
•
Export – Exports the information in this window. Pressing this button opens a Save As window. Several file types are available for selection using the vertical scroll. An Excel format is most useful for evaluating this data.
•
Clear – Clears the logs generated for this archive set

Re-archiving Objects

If for some reason the Stat Central Agent is unable to create an archive set without errors, rather than creating a second archive set, you can simply re-archive selected objects in the original archive set. When you re-archive objects, the Stat Central Agent deletes the original archive set and creates a new archive set containing only those objects you selected.

Although you can re-archive objects in any archive set, even those that were created without errors, you should only re-archive objects that were not successfully archived the first time. If you want to re-archive objects in an archive set that was created without errors, you should create an interim archive set.

* 
IMPORTANT: When re-archiving a Record or Field type object that has already been archived successfully, Stat does not re-archive information in the following tables: PSDBFIELD, PSIDXDDLPARM, PSINDEXDEFN, PSKEYDEFN, PSRECDEFN, PSRECFIELD, PSBUSPITEMIMG, PSBUSPITEMLANG, PSBUSPROCITEM.

To re-archive objects, in the Objects tab, select the objects you want to re-archive and click Re-Archive.
