Email Message Catalog

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:18:52 +0000

First off, this rocks!

While reading through this I noticed what I think is a small bug. Doubt it would ever show or cause issue, but thought I'd mention it.

 method GetResultText ... When = %ObEmail_NotDelivered Return "Delivery not attempted"; Break; When = %ObEmail_NotDelivered Return "Partially delivered"; Break; ... end-method;

I think this should actually be

  When = %ObEmail_NotDelivered Return "Delivery not attempted"; Break; When = %ObEmail_PartiallyDelivered Return "Partially delivered"; Break;

Populating a State Record

Wed, 24 Mar 2010 13:45:44 +0000

In addition to adding PROCESS_INSTANCE as a field, it should also be a Key Field, especially if the State Record is an actual database table (vs. derived record) that will store data needed for program restarts.

Additional State Record fields that are common to include are AE_APPLID and AE_SECTION. These are required on AE Programs which have dynamic Call Section Actions, as the values in these fields will control what AE Step is called next — either in the current program or something outside.

App Engine Debugging Article

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:45:21 +0000

Hello,
I was running through your article on App Engine debugging utilizing pase.

http://peoplesoft.wikidot.com/debugging

When I run it i am getting a message return saying the following:
Message Set Number: 0
Message Number: 0
Message Reason: Debugging nas been foricble disabled do to a configuration or Communication Problem. (0,0)

Any idea what i need to enable to make this work? I am trying to figure out a better way of debugging anything related to Peoplesoft and hoping this will help me.

My second question is, do you utilize the debugging features within PeopleSofts App Designer? If so, how well does it work? i would like to find a utility that I am able to place break points in app engines for example, and evalute variables, objects i have created, etc. Similar to Visual Studio. is there any of this functionality within PeopleSoft that you are aware of?

Thanks again for the great site!

Testing Web Services with soapUI

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 12:36:38 +0000

Just wanted to say "Thanks" for posting this. I was looking for a good way to test a Web Service before just dumping on the third-party for testing and the only thing I could find was Oracle's JDeveloper. Then I found this. It was quick and easy to get setup and running. I am still having trouble figuring out the security, where I want the connection to go through as a specific user, not the "default" App Server user or XMLLINK user.

COBOL SQL Trace

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:00:09 +0000

To assist in reviewing the COBOL Trace, I have created an SQR that makes parsing the COBOL Trace file easy.

The SQR Code will take the COBOL Trace file as input, parse through each cursor and bind variable, and produce an analyzed version of the Trace File. The end result is an easy to read and even execute trace file, with all of the bind variables inside the respective SQL statements.

The code is free. View code at SQRTricks.com

Hey, I'm on PeopleTools 8.47, and I've never seen object locking before. Is that new to 8.48 or 8.49?

Installation

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 06:49:30 +0000

Turns out that some of the data loaded from the demo HCRS database (hcengs.db) has keys that are case sensitive.

If SQL server is set up with the Latin1_General collation but the case sensitive flag is not set, then certain records will not import properly and throw errors during the demo database creation step (unique index errors). When you look at the keys causing the error you will find that the only difference is case of the key (e.g. TEST, Test, test). If your SQL server installation doesn't have a case sensitive collation set, these sorts of keys will cause an error as they won't be unique.

You can check case sensitivity of your collation using the sp_helpsort stored procedure.

This is an example of what is returned:

Server default collation
Latin1-General, case-sensitive, accent-sensitive, kanatype-insesitive, width-insensitive

Data Archive Manager

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:12:51 +0000

If a table does not have a unique key, like PSACCESSLOG does not, it does not generate the delete correctly, and deletes more rows than it should when doing a delete based on the batch. It uses a partial key. Take a look at the "View Details->View SQL" or "View Detail->Count Rows".

You may want to add a note about checking the number of rows for delete if working by batch rather than by query. It may also be necessary to create your own delete query for some tables to help tools find the right rows to clean up.
