Revolutionizing PeopleSoft Upgrades with Unique Technology

What do we do differently? Why our technology is unique and powerful?

  • Our unique code-compare and merge software tool specializes in PeopleSoft. This product helps automate manual technical tasks associated with the PeopleSoft upgrade retrofit and streamlines the process, dramatically reducing the overall time required to complete the upgrade.
  • Our software technology will automatically merge code from different sources and re-apply existing customizations to each new PUM release.

What is PeopleSoft Upgrade Retrofit?

  • PeopleSoft uses the term “Retrofit” to describe the process of applying existing customizations in the newer version of their software.
  • In PeopleSoft, retrofitting involves applying existing customizations in PeopleCode, Pages, Records, Application Engines, SQRs, SQLs, COBOLs, etc
  • Re-applying the existing customization by retrofitting code is the next step after comparing all objects between the current production copy and the new release in the PeopleSoft application upgrade, as well as the Integrated System Testing and User Acceptance Testing; production implementation follows this step.

Simplifying and optimizing the PeopleSoft PUM update

  • PeopleSoft PUM update is the process of updating a PeopleSoft system to a new PUM release.
  • PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) is a Lifecycle Management process aimed to help PeopleSoft customers stay current on application patching and lower the cost of application maintenance. It’s only available for PeopleSoft 9.2 applications.
  • Within PeopleSoft 9.2, the PUM update allows administrative-level users to download a cumulative set of updates periodically and apply those updates.
  • PS Upgrade Pro's unique automation technology drastically reduces the deployment time and overall cost.

How does it work?

  • The PS Retrofit software application allows PeopleSoft developers to quickly and automatically merge a current production file which has all customizations and a new release file from Oracle and instantly get a merged result file with all customizations in the current production file re-applied to the new release file. The objects that can be merged include PeopleCode, SQL, SQR, COBOL, records, pages and Application Engine programs.

What features does it have?

  • It can automatically retrofit PeopleCode, SQLs, Pages, Records, SQRs, COBOLs, Application Engines, etc.
  • It takes only one or two days to merge all the source code and re-apply customizations, whereas a few weeks are typically required to do the manual merge work by a few developers.
  • Automatically re-apply customizations to the new release.
  • Can define a customization identifier.
  • A manual merge option is provided as well.

What are some unique benefits?

  • Automating the reapplication of customizations can help accelerate development by propagating changes quickly.
  • This helps eliminate bottlenecks. Small changes no longer risk being held up in testing or code review.
  • Now, they can be available for testing extremely quickly.
  • Dramatically improve the efficiency and shorten the length of a PeopleSoft upgrade of any size.
  • Can help teams identify conflicts and prevent errors when integrating code after changes or bug fixes.
  • There is no need for a company to have several developers work for weeks or even months to do the code retrofit for an upgrade anymore; only one developer is required to install and run this software, review the changes, and resolve some code conflicts that cannot be automatically processed.
