10 Innovations in PeopleSoft 9.2 - #2 Lower TCO With The Peoplesoft Update Manager
- by John Webb
With the new PeopleSoft Update Manager in PeopleSoft 9.2 the way you manage updates to your PeopleSoft systems puts you in control of all changes on your schedule. You can selectively apply patches with reduced time, effort, and cost. Bundles and Maintenance Packs are no longer used. Instead, a tailored custom package is automatically generated based on the parameters you select from the latest PeopleSoft source image. You have access to all updates from Oracle on a cumulative basis and can select and search for specific updates such as new features, legal and regulatory changes, or a patch related to a specific issue, process or object. Any prerequisites are automatically identified. The process of generating a change package is enabled through a new wizard with easy to follow steps and options. As changes are introduced to your test environment the PeopleSoft Test Framework provides a closed loop process to run regression tests scripts against your changes.
