Lifecycle Management FeaturesTaking Advantage of Enterprise PeopleToolsLifecycle Management FeaturesThis document provides an overview and briefly describes these PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools features: Application Designers compare features. Change Assistant. Change Impact Analyzer.Understanding Lifecycle Management FeaturesEnterprise PeopleTools provides a variety of tools and utilities to aid in maintaining your PeopleSoft investment. These tools are designed to enhance installation, upgrade, and the application of software updates, or bundles. By providing a rich user interface and by automating many of the steps, the administrative tasks involved within an installation, upgrade, or update require less time and effort, all while reducing potential errors.The features discussed in this document focus on the tools and features that would be most useful while applying a PeopleSoft application update, or bundle.Note. The features described in this document have become available in different, incremental Enterprise PeopleToolsreleases. Whether you can use a feature described in this document depends on your Enterprise PeopleTools version.Application Designers Compare FeaturesPeopleSoft Application Designer enables you to compare the contents between two databases or between a databaseand a file. Viewing the status of each definition in each location gives you the information for deciding which definitionsto keep during an application update. The following table describes some of the key features you can use whenperforming definition comparisons.FeatureDescriptionPeopleTools ReleaseGenerate compare and reports.These reports appear in the PeopleSoft Application Designer workspace immediately after the compare process completes, highlighting differences between two data sources.8.xGenerate browser reports.These reports are written to HTML and XML files enabling you to open the report in a browser, share the report with coworkers easily, and store report data in an industry-standard format.8.46Visually compare page definitionsEnables you to view source and target page definitions side-by-side, with differences clearly marked.8.46Visually compare and merge page definitionsAdds to the visual page compare by providing the merge feature.8.48Visually compare and merge text definitions.This feature enables you to view PeopleCode, HTML, SQL, and XSLT definitions side-by-side, with differences clearly marked. It also enables you to merge source PeopleCode with target PeopleCode.8.48See AlsoEnterprise PeopleTools 8.46 (and later) PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Designer, Comparing Source and TargetDefinitions, Working with Browser ReportsEnterprise PeopleTools 8.46 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Designer, Comparing Source and TargetDefinitions, Comparing Page Definitions VisuallyEnterprise PeopleTools 8.48 (and later) PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Designer, Comparing Source and TargetDefinitions, Comparing and Merging Page DefinitionsEnterprise PeopleTools 8.46 (and later) PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Designer, Working With Text DefinitionsDuring UpgradesChange AssistantEnterprise PeopleTools 8.44 introduced PeopleSoft Change Assistant to improve the process of finding, analyzing,downloading, and installing application patches and updates. The Environment Management hub gathers informationabout your environment (including licensed products, maintenance history, and so on) and uploads this informationto the PeopleSoft product support website. Based on your specific environment information, Change Assistant: recommends only the necessary software updates. verifies prerequisites and post-requisites and determines the order to apply software updates. applies software updates with minimal user intervention. maintains a complete history of all software updates applied to each environment.See AlsoEnterprise PeopleTools 8.44 (and later) PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Change AssistantEnterprise PeopleTools 8.46 (and later) PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Software UpdatesChange Impact AnalyzerEnterprise PeopleTools 8.48 introduced Change Impact Analyzer, a change analysis tool that enables you to exploreand understand the downstream effects of taking patches or making changes to an applicationall before acceptingor making the change. Change Impact Analyzer can be leveraged in conjunction with Change Assistant to reduce thetime required to analyze and implement changes to your system.Change Impact Analyzer is an interactive utility through which you can view the relationships of PeopleSoft definitions(such as fields, records, or pages) in a hierarchical view. Based on a set of configurable rules, Change ImpactAnalyzer determines the relationships between definitions so that you can assess various types of potential changeimpact, such as those described in the following table, with a quicker, more comprehensive approach.Impact TypeDescriptionStructuralThese could be impacts such as how a change to a field type or its properties could affect the structure of a record. Making changes to a field without considering its effect on associated records may cause runtime errors.BehavioralThese could be impacts such as changing a common library PeopleCode program that is called by numerous other PeopleCode programs. This can affect the behavior of the calling program. Or, suppose a PeopleCode program that writes to fields has changed. This can affect the behavior of the fields. In these cases, Change Impact Analyzer lists all the affected programs or fields for your analysis.Being aware of all the relationships between definitions and the potential structural or behavioral impacts associatedwith a change helps you determine what other modifications need to be made and helps you create a testingstrategy.See AlsoEnterprise PeopleTools 8.48 (and later) PeopleBook: Change Impact Analyzer
