1. What is Application Engine?

It is the tool, which performs, background SQL processing against our applicationdata tables. It is an alternative for COBOL, SQL or SQRPrograms. Other tools such as query tool and mass change generate SQL.

2. What are the parts of Application Engine?Application Engine consists of 4 parts.1. Application: It is a set of SQL statements.2. Steps: It is the smallest unit of work committed in an application.3. Sections: Comprises of 1 or more steps4. Statements: SQL statements like update, insert, delete or select are issued.

3. What is the advantage of using Application Engine?

The following are the advantages of using Application Engine.Encapsulation

Unlike applications developed using COBOL or SQR, Application Engine

applications reside completely within your database. With Application Engine,there are the programs to compile, no statements to store, and no need to directlyinteract with the operating environment in use. You can build, run and debug yourapplications without existing People Tools.Effective Dating

Application sections are effective dated-meaning you can activate/deactivate asection as of a particular date. This enables you to archive sections as you modifythem, instead of destroying them. In the future if you decide to revert to aprevious incarnation of a section you can simply reactivate it.SQL / Meta-SQL Support

In addition to writing your SQL within Application Engine, you can also copy

SQL statements into Application Engine from SQL talk or any other SQL utilitywith few if any changes.RDBMS platforms have many differing syntax rules especially in regard todate, time and other numeric calculations. For the most part you can work aroundthis problem using Meta-SQL which Application Engine supports. This languagewas created to handle different RDBMS SQL syntaxs by replacing them with astandard syntax, called Meta-strings.With in Platform specific sections

You can also have the ability to call generic portions of SQL statements by usingthe & CLAUSE function. This means you can write your generic SQL portionsjust once, and reference them from your different platform versions.Set Processing Support

Set processing is a SQL technique used to process groups (or sets) of rows of onetime rather than one at a time. Application Engine is particularly effective ofprocessing these types of applications.Object Orientation

Unless designed to anticipate changes in field attributes. COBOL applicationsmay need to be modified when things change. If a developer increases a fieldslength, then it may need to be changed in every instance where the COBOL


2/21

program uses this field as a bind or select variable. This can require a good bit ofeffort. And, if not handled properly, a change like this can cause confusing errors.For example, if the length of a field in the COBOL is wrong, it may work fine, oryou may get an error, or the field may get truncated.One of the corner stones of People soft functionality is Application Designer.

Because of the way it works, most field attributes (type, length and scale) can bespecified once, globally. If the field is used on more than one record, it has thesame attributes in each of these records.

PORTABILITY

You can use Data Mover to import/export your applications. This means that youcan export an application(s) into a file, and attach it to an e-mail message. Then,the recipient can simply use the IMPORT feature of Data Mover, and theapplication is ready to run.

4. What is a Cache Record?

The Cache record (or cache) is a physical People soft record, keyed by processinstance that must be created and maintained by the Application Enginedeveloper. This record defines the fields that an application uses to pas valuesfrom one SQL statements to another. You retrieve cache field values by theApplication Engine and BIND function; you assign cache values using &SELECT.

5. What is unique about panels, which refer to view as opposed to physical

tables?

Panels that refer to views in People soft are not used for insert, update or delete.All fields on these panels are display only.

6. How search records are used?

Search records are used to search, retrieve and filter data. Search records alsodefine the structure of the dialog box.

7. Where are the search records assigned?

Search records are assigned to a panel group in a menu.

8. Does the search record for a panel has to be the same as the record being

Accessed on the panel? Why or Why not?The search record for the panel does not have to be the same as the record beingAccessed on the panel because the search record is used to search for and orFilter the search key.

9. How can a search record dialog box be suppressed?

A search record dialog box can be suppressed by assigning a search record thatdoes not have search key.

10. What do search views delivered by People soft do besides displaying the


3/21

dialog

Box?Search views delivered by People soft are used to implement row level security aswell as display a dialog box.

11. What do you need to do to modify the search views?To modify a search view, we need to change the record definition and recreate theunderlying SQL view.

12. When would you have to alter the tables and modify the panels, in the

process

of modifying search records?You need to alter tables and modify panels, when you modify a search record toinclude a new field.

13. When will there be two occurs level records in a panel group?

If you are referring to two different record definitions that share a same high-levelkey then two-level one-scroll bar can be displayed as stacked scroll bars.

14. In what order does the application processor fill buffer for the panel

group?

The application processor uses occurs level in the panel group to fill the buffer.

15.Differentiate Error V/s Warning statements in People code?

The error statement issues a message and the condition causing the error mustBe corrected before proceeding. The warning statement issues a message andThe user can proceed without changing any values.

16. Where can you run Jobs?

The process scheduler can run jobs on the client or a server machine.

17. What restrictions are placed on multi-process jobs?

A multi process jobs can only be scheduled to run on a server.

18. List the three output destinations available through the Process

Scheduler?

You can direct the output to a printer file and windows screen.

19. Where do you set up default operator / class options for Process Monitor?

In operator security, using change, process profile.

20. What are the advantages of incorporating Table set ids into People soft

applications?

Table set Ids allow you to share sets of values (codes) in the same prompt table.


4/21

21. What fields should be at the tope of every search record definition that

use table set Ids?

SET ID is the field that should be at the top of every record definition that usestable set Ids.

22. What is a Record Group ID?A Record group ID is a group of record definitions that are Sharing the same setcontrol field.

23. What do you determine using Table set Ids control information?

Table set ID control information determines how the information should beshared. The Table set ID control panel defines which Table set Ids set controlfiled code will use for each record group.

24. What are the three types of Maps used by the navigator?

The 3 types of Maps used by the navigator are..

1. Business Process Map2. Activity Map3. Step Map

25. What are the types of layers in Crystal reports?

There are 4 types of layers in Crystal Reports. They are..1. Report Header - In this, we will write title, date, and logos of the company.2. Page Header Used to write column headings.3. Detail Contains database column values.4. Page Footer Used to write page numbers and address.

25. What are the steps required to run the SQR from peoplesoft

environment?

Three steps we have to fallow to run the SQR program from the peoplesoftenvironment (Process Scheduler). These steps includea. Making the SQR program API aware by calling two procedures (stdapi-init,stdapi-term) from the Begin-program section and including the Stdapi.sqc in thebottom of the program.b. Create new run control table or using existing run control table and creating runcontrol page, component and register the component. Creating new run controlSQC if we create a new run control table.c. Giving the permission to the user by giving process groups.

26. How to pass command line flags to a sqr report running through process

scheduler?Using override options in the process definition in the Process Scheduler in thePeople Tools.

27. What are On-break parameters?

ON-BREAK causes the specified action to perform in a tabular report when thevalue of a field changes . The default action prints the field only when its valuechanges (PRINT=CHANGE).Mainly used for Redundancy of Printing on a page.

28 .How does peoplesoft Process monitor knows that the process (Say sqr

report) is at what stage such as initiated, in process, completed etc

From the Field Value of RUNSTATUSDESCRfield fromPS_PMN_PRCSLIST table.

29. How can u Debugging SQR programs?

We can Debug SQR using Debugging Commands such as3. #IF DEBUGxxx#END-IF2. DISPLAY and3. SHOW

30. How to refer a global variable in local procedure?

After special character (ex.#,&) we use underscore(_) after that variable name.

31. What is -Bnn flag?

This is used to specify the number of rows that are to be taken from Dbase to theBuffer because default the system takes 10 rows at a time.

32. What is -Tnn flag?

This is mainly used for testing purpose. We can restrict the system to generate


14/21

only a specific number of pages instead of generating all pages for testing. This isused in Windows Environment.

33. What is -RS & -RT Flags?

RS is used to generate SPF file ie; stopping the program after the comilation. _RT

is used to run the SPF file .This is also one kind of Performance increasingtechnique by saving the compilation time.34. What are the sections in Sqr? Which one is necessary?

1. What is Application Upgrade?

It is a migration of object from one database to another and updating other systemcomponents such as application software.

2. What is Mass change and explain the uses of Mass change?

Mass change is a SQL generator you can use to develop and perform customapplications. Using mass change, a developer can set up a series ofINSERT,UPDATE, OR DELETE SQL statements that the end user can execute toperform business functions.The overall structure of Mass change is similar to that of People soft QueryExcept that Query retrieves data from the database while mass change actuallyupdates the database.The uses of Mass change are as follows.

1. It is used to perform high volume set oriented transactions.2. Copy data from table or table3. Archive table data (Archive means that the data does not have backup file anduses to update the values)

3. Why use Mass change and why not SQL execute to update a record, which

is not attached to the panel?

The reason why Mass change is preferred over SQL exec is.1. Two- Three Mass change program can work at a single time.2. Data / information need not be defined in Mass change3. Mass change can be used for file download upload.


15/21

4. What are the steps involved in Mass change?

The following are the order of steps involved in Mass change.1. Define type2. Assign to template

3. Operator security4.Mass change definition

5. What is Mass change group?

Adding all Mass change into a group. (i.e., Multiple Mass change definitions canbe executed simultaneously).

6. What is workflow?

To an extent all the business processes defined using the Application designerinvolve workflow. However we usually reserve the term to refer to processes thatinvolve multiple users and the routing of data between the users. People soft

workflow tools help you build the routings into your computer systems. You usethem to tie together the individual steps so that the system can help coordinate theactivities.

7. How Workflow is controlled?

It is controlled by Decision Point (it is graphically denoted by a (?)). Where userhas to choose which activity is appropriate towards the next step.

8. What are the key fields used in Key list?

7 key fields used in a key list. They are as follows..1. Busprocname- (Business Process Name)2. Activity name3. Event name4. Work list name5. Instance Id6. Transaction Id7. Emplid

Note: While defining the above fields in the record definition, a key has to beassigned in the record field properties.

9. What is routing in workflow?

Transfer of roles / users

10. Why workflow is used and explains the advantage of workflow in People

soft application?

Workflow typically eliminates the job tasks associated with controlling paperflow, and frees people the once performed clerical functions to do moremeaningful work. Tasks that dont require user involvement


16/21

Tasks that involve non People soft users Tasks that several users work on together.

11. Define the components of workflow?

There are 3 underlying components of workflow i.e., Rules, Roles, Routing.

Rules

Rules are your companys business practices captured in software. Rulesdetermine what activities are required to process your business data. The rules arecontained in policies and procedures documents.

Roles

Roles describe how people fit into the workflow. A role is a class of users whoperform the same type of work, such as clerks or managers. Your business rulestypically specify what user role needs to do an activity.Roles direct the work to types of people rather than to individuals. Identifying

roes instead of individual users makes your workflow more flexible and easier tomaintain. Roles remain stable even as people change jobs.

Routings

Routings connect the activities in the workflow. They are the systems means ofmoving information from one place to another, from one step to the next.Routings bring the flow into workflow. The network of routings creates abusiness process from what used to be isolated activities. Routings make itpossible to deploy applications throughout the enterprise. They work through thelevels and departments of an enterprise to bring together the role that arenecessary to complete complex tasks
