PeopleSoft PeopleTools Meta-TablesPeopleSoft Projects PSPROJECTDEFN table stores information about projects created in Application Designer. Try it out: SELECT * FROM PSPROJECTDEFN WHERE PROJECTNAME = 'Your_Project_name'; PSPROJECTITEM table stores objects inserted into your Application Designer project. Try it out: SELECT * FROM PSPROJECTITEM WHERE PROJECTNAME = 'Your_Project_name'; Portal Structure PSPRSMDEFN is a Portal Structure Definition table. A good example is to use this table to find portal path for a specific component. Take a closer look on how this is done!. Query for Component Path within PeopleSoft Portal 1) Run the below SQL to get the content reference name for your component SELECT PORTAL_NAME, PORTAL_OBJNAME AS CONTENT_REFERENCE, PORTAL_LABEL, PORTAL_URI_SEG1 AS MENU, PORTAL_URI_SEG2 AS COMPONENT, PORTAL_URI_SEG3 AS MARKET FROM psprsmdefn WHERE PORTAL_NAME = 'EMPLOYEE' AND PORTAL_URI_SEG2 = :1; -- Replace :1 with the component name you are looking for. 2) From the query above - copy the value in the CONTENT_REFERENCE field and replace the ":1" variable and you will have the path to your component. WITH portal_registry AS (SELECT RTRIM(REVERSE(sys_connect_by_path(REVERSE(portal_label), ' >> ') path, LEVEL lvl FROM psprsmdefn WHERE portal_name = 'EMPLOYEE' START WITH PORTAL_OBJNAME = :1 CONNECT BY PRIOR portal_prntobjname = portal_objname) SELECT path FROM portal_registry WHERE lvl = (SELECT MAX(lvl) FROM portal_registry); ' >> ')), So, the 1st query is to get the content reference for a component name that you know and then using Jim's query to find the path!

Extensible Markup Language (XML): XML is a text-based format that provides a mechanism to describe document structures using markup tags. validation. It allows developers to create their own customized tags. Common Terminology Used in Web Services Before start using PeopleSoft Integration Broker for sending and receiving services. XML Schema Definition (XSD): XSD is a way to describe and validate data in an XML environment. You can think of a schema as a model for describing the structure of information. WSDL not only describe the message content but also defines where the service is available and what communicates protocol to use to communicate with that service. In short. Namespaces prevent identically custom-named tags that may be used in different XML documents from being read the same way. the WSDL file defines every thing needed so that developers can write a program to work with an XML Web Service. This is outside the topic of this post. and interpretation of data between applications and between organizations. transmission. XSD makes it easier to validate documents based on namespaces. I will try to list and describe common terms used for Web services. Web Services Definition Language (WSDL): WSDL is an XML-based language used to describe services provided by a business and defines how other businesses can access those services electronically. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP): SOAP is a way for programs running in different or same operating systems to communicate with one another buy using the World Wide Web’s Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and XML.

If &role_found <> 0 Then rem -. Easy and straight to the point Hide Fields on PeopleSoft Page for Some Users Sometimes you would like to hide fields from some users and not others. .ActiveRowCount &AddrType = FetchValue(Scroll. &i.ADDRESS_TYPE).hide your fields. This is how to go about doing that: Create a role and add the users that should not see the fields to this role. rem -. End-IF. this code resolves to: . "Home").ClearDropDownList(). The following PeopleCode uses the %Concat meta-sql meta-variable: SELECT INSTRUCTOR.ADDR_TYPE_DESCR.ADDR_TYPE_DESCR. so restrict the values in the drop down to show only "Home"*/ IF &addrHomeFound = "Y" Then /* home mailing address already there. %Concat Meta-SQL in PeopleCode %Concat resolves to the database-specific concatenation operator so you don't have to guess which way it is done. Else /* Clear drop down list and then show only "Home" */ DERIVED_CO. no need to show the drop down menu */ DERIVED_CO. /*Users will only be able to add a "Home" mailing address. FIRST_NAME %Concat ' ' %Concat LAST_NAME FROM %Table(PSU_INSTR_TBL) On SQL Server. End-IF. End-FOR. FIRST_NAME + ' ' + LAST_NAME FROM PS_PSU_INSTR_TBL On Oracle. this code resolves to: SELECT INSTRUCTOR.Visible = False.AddDropDownItem("HOME". Else &addrHomeFound = "Y".Visible = False.IF &AddrType <> "HOME" Then &Level1(&i). this code resolves to: On SQL Server. DERIVED_CO.ADDR_TYPE_DESCR. And here is an example: SELECT 'X' FROM dual WHERE sysdate > %CurrentDateIn. as_of_date) The %EffDtCheck construct expands into an effective date subquery suitable for a Where clause. recordname: Specify the record name to use as the record in the effective-date checking. a record object. This can be bind variable. FIRST_NAME || ' ' || LAST_NAME FROM PS_PSU_INSTR_TBL %CurrentDateIn Meta-SQL Function A very useful PeopleCode Meta-SQL function. this is how PeopleSoft explains it: The %CurrentDateIn meta-SQL variable expands to a platform-specific SQL substring representing the current date in the Where clause of a SQL Select or Update statement. %EffDtCheck PeopleCode Built-in Function Effective dated quires are used often in PeopleSoft and a great build-in function that will save you time is the %EffDtCheck.SELECT INSTRUCTOR. I will be providing an example and how %CurrentDateIn function will be resolved at run time. correlation_id2. or when the current date is passed in an Insert statement. the SQL above will be resolved to look like this: SELECT 'X' FROM dual WHERE sysdate > To_Date(To_Char(SYSDATE. At run time. or a record name in the form recname. Lets take a closer look! Syntax %EffDtCheck(recordname [correlation_id1]. But first. 'YYYY-MM-DD'). . 'YYYY-MM-DD'). a variable. This can be a bind variable.KEYFIELD1 = correlation_id. .KEYFIELD1 AND recordname. If this parameter isn’t specified.FNUM .EFFDT <= %DATEIN(as_of_date)) In the following example.correlation_id1: (Optional) Specify the letter used inside the effective-dating subselect. . . :2)". WHERE %EffDtCheck(recordname correlation_id. &Date). correlation_id2: Specify the letter already assigned to the main record in the From clause of the SQL statement. A. . SQLExec("SELECT FNUM FROM PS_REC A WHERE %EffDtCheck(:1. as_of_date: Specify the date to use in the effective date.KEYFIELD2 AND. . &Rec. . . as_of_date) The example code resolves into the following: SELECT . The value for as_of_date is automatically wrapped in%DateIn unless as_of_date is already wrapped in %DateIn or refers to other database columns. This example code resolves into the following: "Select FNUM from PS_REC A where EFFDT = (select MAX(EFFDT) from PS_REC where PS_REC. Here are some examples from PeopleSoft books: The following is a generic code sample: SELECT. . . FROM. AND recordname. &Date has the value of 01/02/1998.KEYFIELD2 = correlation_id. .FNUM = A. FROM. WHERE correlation_id. or a hard-coded date. recordname is used. The example &Rec object has an EFFDT key field.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(EFFDT) FROM recordname WHERE recordname. EFFDT <=%CurrentDateIn) AND A.EFF_STATUS = ’A’ To know list of Peoplesoft System catalog tables: SELECT table_name FROM all_tables WHERE owner = 'SYSTEM' – Schama_name AND NOT REGEXP_LIKE (table_name.EFFDT = (SELECT MAX(B.

Timezone etc.Presentation Transcript Top 6 tables in Peoplesoft Time and Labor Jiju Cherian Vengal TESCO TL_EMPL_DATA Maps data between EMPLID and T&L parameters like Workgroup. Holds all data regarding the time reported by employees. PAYABLE_STATUS. PAYROLL_REQ_NUM. . Keys: EMPLID. Output of the Time Administration process and has the TL_RPTD_TIME as the source. Found under the Enroll Time Reporters component. TL_QUANTITY. TL_TR_STATUS Table used by the Time Administration process to determine the employees to be processed. =+ . TL_IPT Intermediary Payable Time tables – IPT tables are the most important temporary tables in Time Administration processing. TL_PAYABLE_TIME data is populated from TL_IPT1 table at the end of rule processing. Data from reported time and scheduling tables are populated in TL_IPT1. All exceptions with an ‘Archive’ flag on will remain in the TL_EXCEPTION table after the exception is resolved. TL_EXCEPTION Transaction table containing the details of all exceptions that are generated. Keys – EMPLID. Not externalised through any component – updated by the Time Administration process and Peoplecode in various components including timesheet. TA_STATUS. allowed (A) or changed (A). EMPL_RCD. All High Severity exceptions will have to be resolved for payable time to be generated.To be used for custom reports and interfaces requiring to take the final output in Time and Labor. unresolved (U) . Exception_Status field tells whether the exception is resolved (R). Other important fields – EARLIEST_CHGDT. Extensively used by almost all T&L rules where data is transferred from one IPT table to another for rule processing.
