By Nomalungelo Singonzo posted 10 days ago
In the early days of my career as a PeopleSoft Super-User supporting my fellow PeopleSoft Users, I used to often bump into those users who had been with the company for donkey's years and had acquired a certain level of experience that had helped them to do their jobs in a specific and efficient way. As the technology evolved, those users who used to maintain their employees' leave records and/or their financial records in some spreadsheets or notebooks, the challenge was to convince those users that it was ok, and it was safe to move away from their trusted spreadsheets and notebooks and replace them with ERP systems. At times it felt like teaching a toddler ...

SQL query to identify Drop Zone configurations in PeopleSoft

By Chandra Rawat posted 29 days ago
Sharing a Drop Zone configurations SQL query here... I encountered a problem during our HR PUM 47 upgrade that was related to drop zones. The following query proved to be quite valuable in identifying all the dropzones in the system. It also comes in handy if you need to remove dropzone data from various Peopletool tables that may be there due to improper migrations. ------------------------------------------ SELECT distinct b.portal_uri_seg2 AS COMPONENT, c.descr AS COMPONENT_DESCR, CASE WHEN c.fluidmode = 0 THEN 'Classic' WHEN c.fluidmode = 1 THEN 'Fluid' ...

ORACLE'S IDEAS LAB: View My Classes - Allow Show Dropped Classes to Not Show by default

By Carmen Plummer posted 09-15-2023
CAMPUS SOLUTIONS 9.2: Fluid View My Classes Page. As delivered, the Show Dropped Classes checkbox is disabled until a student actually drops a class. Once a class is dropped, the checkbox is enabled and the student can 'uncheck' the checkbox so dropped classes will not appear. This is all done through PeopleCode. This is a cause for concern since students are confused when a student unchecks the Show Dropped Courses checkbox and makes other selections the default settings are reapplied. We feel there would be less confusion if the student view defaulted to not Show Dropped Class and they could make the appropriate selection to display them. Or allow this ...
