83. The TUXEDO Connect String is designed for advanced configuration to support dynamic
load balancing. The following example illustrates a sample TUXEDO Connect String:
//ip1:port1|//ip2:port2|//ipn:portn where ip = IP Address and port = port number
Which one of the following identifies the purpose of the above example?
a) Specifies multiple application servers to which the client will arbitrarily connect.
b) Specifies multiple application servers to which the client will connect in sequential order.
c) Specifies a single web server, and allows Web clients to connect to a common URL.
d) Specifies multiple application servers to which the client will always connect.
e) Specifies multiple web servers, and allows Web clients to connect to a common URL.
Round This option specifies multiple application servers to which the client will arbitrarily
Robin Load connect—the odds being that each application server will receive an equal number
Balance of connections. To specify the round robin, use the following syntax (where ip = IP
Address and port = port number):
(//ip1:port1|//ip2:port2|//ipn:portn)
You can specify the IP Address using either dotted notation or by using the server’s
DNS name. Either way, the slashes (//) preceding the IP Address are required.
If the selected application server is unavailable, your connection attempt will fail and
the system will not try to connect you to the other application servers defined within
the parentheses.
Spaces are not allowed in any part of the connection string. PeopleSoft will
automatically remove embedded spaces before storing the value in the registry.
Round Like Round Robin Load Balance, this option allows you to define a failover connection
Robin string. Use the following syntax (where ip = IP Address and port = port number):
with (//ip1:port1|//ip2:port2),(//ip3:port3)
Failover If the application server selected from the first group of parentheses (ip1 and ip2) is
unavailable, the system automatically attempts to connect to an application server
defined in the second group (ip3). If that application server fails, the system attempts to
connect to the next group to the right, sequentially.
If multiple application servers are defined within any group, the system will round-robin
between them. If the selected application server fails, the system will attempt to
connect to the next application server to the right, if any. The following are three
separate examples, showing a range usage:
(//sp-ibm01:8000|//sp-ibm02:8000),(//sp-nt01:8000)
(//208.136.78.88:8000|//208.136.78.88:8050|//208.136.78.88:8080) (//sp-sun01:8000),

Application Server Domain Parameters
Startup
The authorization to start an application server does not (directly or indirectly) grant any
authorizations or privileges beyond the ability to start the application server. Each
user who attempts to signon enters a unique user ID and password, which the
application server uses to authenticate each user.

to be displayed upon startup.
If this is the user profile's PeopleSoft Navigator homepage permission list, the
system gets this value at runtime.
Can Start Select to enable a user profile with this permission to start a PeopleSoft
Application application server. This may be a user ID used solely for starting the application
Server? server. At least one of the permission lists associated with the user ID used for
starting the application server must have this permission selected.
This user ID does not refer to the actual user who signs in to an application
server and starts it by submitting the appropriate commands. Rather, this option
applies to the user ID and password that you enter into PSADMIN (or
PSAPPSRV.CFG) in the Startup section. This is the user ID the application
server uses to connect to the database. In many installations, the application
server starts with an automated process, not by a user physically submitting the
commands.
When you build an application server domain, one of the parameters an
administrator enters is a PeopleSoft user ID (and password). These values are
contained in a configuration file that BEA Tuxedo reads when the application
server is started. The user ID stored in the file is the user ID that requires the
"Can Start Application Server" option set in a permission list that it is associated
with.
Note. This permission also applies to starting a PeopleSoft Process Scheduler
server.
Note. Password controls do not apply for the user profile used to start the
application server.

Audit
The audit options apply only to data that is manipulated on a normal PeopleSoft application page
through component processing. These options do not apply to data that is added using SQLExec
in PeopleCode or by some other means. PSAUDIT logs the user ID, the date and time the field
was modified, and the old and new values.
If you want to audit certain fields, regardless of the record definitions in which they’re included,
you want to control when the fields are audited. If you want to audit several fields in a record
definition, you might want to consider specifying audits at the record definition level.
Field Add Audits this field whenever a new row of data is added.
Field Change Audits this field whenever the contents are changed.
Field Delete Audits this field whenever a row of data is deleted.
System Select to indicate that the field value is system-generated. This option is for

b. If a number from 51 through 99 is entered in a Date field, the century defaults to 2000.
c. If a number from 51 through 99 is entered in a Date field, the century defaults to 1900.
d. When a number 0 thru 50 is entered as the year in a Date field, the century defaults to 1900.
Date Field Type

Date fields contain calendar dates. A Date field has a field length of 10 and is maintained by the
system. The default format of a date field is defined by the database and can be overridden by
your browser settings.
Date field type
Default to 2000 Specify the last two digits of a year, which is typically what users enter in a Date
if year less field. If you enter 50, the default century becomes 2000 when someone enters 0
than or equal through 50 as the year in a Date field. If someone enters a number between 51
to and 99 in a Date field, the default century becomes 1900. The default for this
field is 50.
0Using Effective Dates

Effective dates enable you to keep historical, current, and future information in tables. You can
use the information to review the past and plan for the future. There are three types of effective
dates:
Future Data rows that have effective dates that are after the system date, which is usually
today’s date.
Current Data row with the most recent effective date that is closest to today’s (system) date, but
not a future date. Only one row is the current row.

Definitions
• Audit Options
While you can audit individual fields at the field level, you might find it more efficient to
have the system audit the entire row whenever a user adds, changes, or deletes
information. With record-level audits, the system focuses on rows of data, instead of
specific fields. Consequently, a record-level audit writes a single row of audit data, rather
than writing multiple rows for each insert, change, or delete transaction at the field level.
Add Inserts an audit table row whenever a new row is added to the table underlying this
record definition.
Change Inserts one or two audit table rows whenever a row is changed on the table underlying
this record definition.
Selective Inserts one or two audit table rows whenever a field that is also included in the record
definition for the audit table is changed.
Delete Inserts an audit table row whenever a row is deleted from the table underlying this
record definition.

check box, the system automatically selects the Display Only option. It also makes the
Related Control Field drop-down list box available for you to select the related control
field.
When you select Related Field, Display Only is automatically selected. If the related
field is located on a record definition with multiple keys, relate the display field to the
lowest-order key field that both record definitions have in common—with the exception
of EFFDT and EFFSEQ—on the control record definition. The system searches for the
higher order keys by matching field control names on the current level and all higher
levels for the other keys.

page within a component, or a field on a page, also performs processing in deferred mode. The
default is for all pages and fields to allow deferred processing.
If you specify that a field or page allows deferred processing, but do not set the component to
deferred processing mode, deferred processing mode is not initiated. You must set the
component first.
156. PeopleCode variables (global, component, local, and parameter), method, and property
names can now be up to _______ characters long
a.1000 b. 2000 c. 500 d. 1500
PeopleCode supports these types of variables:
User-defined These variable names are preceded by an & character wherever they appear in a
variables program. Variable names can be 1 to 1000 characters, consisting of letters A-Z and
a-z, digits 0-9, and characters #, @, $, and _.
System System variables provide access to system information. System variables have a
variables prefix of the % character, rather than the & character. Use these variables wherever
you can use a constant, passing them as parameters to functions or assigning their
values to fields or to temporary variables.
157. People Code attached with Push Button can be associated with which of the following
events?
a. Field Edit b. Field Change c. Save Edit
d. Field Edit, Field Change e. Field Edit, Field Change, Save Edit
(Please Check qs. 157)
34
Buttons
When a user presses a button, this initiates the same processing as changing a field. Typically,
PeopleCode programs started by button are placed in the FieldChange event
158. Activate Event is Valid for following

a. Standard b. Secondary c. Standard, Secondary &Sub Page
d. Standard & Secondary
The Activate event is initiated each time that a page is activated, including when a page is first
displayed by a user, or if a user presses Tab between different pages in a component. Each page
has its own Activate event. Activate PeopleCode can only be associated with pages.
This event is valid only for pages that are defined as standard or secondary. This event is not
supported for sub pages.
159. A PeopleCode program is automatically saved to a file while you’re working on it. This
checkpoint will NOT occur at which of the following times:
a. Every 10 keystrokes.
b. Every 5 Minutes
c. On a save command, just prior to the save being executed
d. When another PeopleCode program is selected to be edited
160. Interlink data type can be declared as

a. Global b. Local c. Global & Component
d. Component & Local
Note. BIDocs and Interlink objects used in PeopleCode programs run on the application server
can only be declared as type Local. You can declare Interlinks as Global only in an Application
Engine program.
161. The following API Object data type objects can’t be declared as Global:
a. Session b. PSMessages collection c PSMessage
d. Query classes e. JavaObject
• JavaObject
Note. JavaObject objects can only be declared as type Local.
API Object Type

The API object type has some additional considerations.
Use this data type for any API object, such as a session object, a tree object, a Component
Interface, a PortalRegistry, and so on.
The following ApiObject data type objects can be declared as Global:
• Session
• PSMessages collection
• PSMessages
35
• All Tree classes (trees, tree structures, nodes, levels, and so on.)
• All Query classes
All other ApiObject data type objects must be declared as Local.
162.DoSave( ) can be called from one of the following events

a. FieldEdit, FieldChange, MenuItemSelected
b. MenuItemSelected, SavePrechange & SavePostChange
c. SaveEdit, SavePostChange, Workflow
d. SaveEdit, SavePreChange, SavePostChange, and Workflow
DoSave
Syntax
DoSave()
Description
DoSave saves the current page. DoSave defers processing to the end of the current PeopleCode
program event, as distinct from DoSaveNow, which causes save processing (including SaveEdit,
SavePreChange, SavePostChange, and Workflow PeopleCode) to be executed immediately.
DoSave can be used only in FieldEdit, FieldChange, or MenuItemSelected PeopleCode.
Parameters
None.
Returns
None.
163.Display Characteristics are associated with which PeopleCode event

a. RowInit b. Field Change c. Field Edit
d. A&B e. A & C
FieldChange Event
FieldChange PeopleCode is used to recalculate page field values, change the appearance of
page controls, or perform other processing that results from a field change other than data
validation. To validate the contents of the field, use the FieldEdit event.
See FieldEdit Event.
The FieldChange event fires on the specific field and row that just changed.
FieldChange PeopleCode is often paired with RowInit PeopleCode. In these RowInit/FieldChange
pairs, the RowInit PeopleCode checks values in the component and initializes the state or value
of page controls accordingly. FieldChange PeopleCode then rechecks the values in the
component during page execution and resets the state or value of page controls.
36
To take a simple example, suppose you have a Derived/Work field called PRODUCT, the value of
which is always the product of page field A and page field B. When the component is initialized
you would use RowInit PeopleCode to initialize PRODUCT equal to A * B when the component
starts up or when a new row is inserted. You could then attach FieldChange PeopleCode
programs to both A and B which also set PRODUCT equal to A * B. Whenever the end-user
changes the value of either A or B, PRODUCT would be recalculated.
FieldChange PeopleCode can be associated with record fields and component record fields.
164. What is the maximum length for any PeopleCode function name?
a. 8 b. 10 c. 18 d. 32
165. In an Application Engine Program, Maximum number of Actions in a Step?

a. 8 b. 6 c. 7 d. 9
Specifying Actions
There are eight types of actions that you can include within a step, and a step can contain
multiple actions. Which actions you choose to define for a step depends on the type of results
that your program requires at each stage of execution.
The only mutually exclusive actions within a single step are Call Section and SQL Statement; in
other words, you cannot add a Call Section action to a step that already contains a SQL
Statement action and visa versa. Furthermore, you can include only one of each action type
within a single step. Because there are eight types of actions, and two are mutually exclusive, the
maximum number of actions a single step can contain is seven.
The following types of actions are available for an Application Engine program:
• SQL
• Do (When, While, Select, Until)
• PeopleCode
• Call Section
• Log Message
• XSLT (enabled for Transform Only program types)
This section also discusses how to:
• Know the execution order of actions.
• Insert actions.
• Set action properties.
166. In an Application Engine Program Call Section – Action it is possible to leave the Program ID
with blank Value in certain cases?
a. True b. False
Call Section Actions
37
Use the Call Section action to call another section defined in an Application Engine program. You
can call a (local) section defined within your current program and you can make external calls to a
section defined in another Application Engine program.
The external section you intend to call must have its access property set to Public. If a section’s
access property is set to Private, that section can be called only from within the same program.
By default, a section’s access property is Private. If you attempt to make a call to a section that
does not allow external calls, you receive an error message at runtime.
Note. You can call only programs that reside within the same database as the “calling” program.
Section The names that appear in the drop-down list box are those that are defined in the
Name program that appears in the Program ID edit box. If you want to call a section that is
defined in an external program, always select the program name in the Program ID
edit box prior to selecting the section name.
Also use the Call Section action to call an entire external program. First select the
Program ID, then select section MAIN. At runtime, this call executes the entire
program defined by the value in Program ID.
Note. PeopleSoft Application Designer does not prevent you from calling the main
section of the current program or the current section. For instance, Section1 can
contain a step that has a local Call Section reference for Section1. This enables
recursive calls, and should therefore be used with caution.
Program Because you can call sections defined in the current program or within external
ID programs, you must first specify the Program ID of the program containing the section
you intend to call.
The default value is (current). If you call a section defined in another program, make
sure that you first select the appropriate external program from the drop-down list box.
The drop-down list box contains the names of all program definitions that currently
exist in the database.
Dynamic Use the AE_APPLID and AE_SECTION fields in the state record to execute different
sections depending on the conditions a program encounters during runtime.
These two fields must be defined on the default state record for the program. If
AE_APPLID is not present or is blank (at run time), the current program is substituted
for the AE_APPLID value. If AE_SECTION is not present or is blank, an error occurs.
When issuing a dynamic call, both the section and the Program ID must be
dynamically set. You enable a dynamic call by first having your program store different
section names in the AE_SECTION field, and different program names in AE_APPLID
field. The values you insert in these fields are normally based on various conditions
met within your program. You then create a Call Section action that calls the section
name defined in the State record field by selecting the Dynamic check box.
Selecting dynamic automatically populates the AE_SECTION field with the symbolic
value %Section, and the Program ID field with the symbolic value %AEAPPLID. At
runtime, the program calls the section name stored in AE_SECTION that belongs to
the program name defined by AE_APPLID.
Program Properties of Called Sections

When you call a section defined in an external program, the current program (the program
containing the defined Call Section) defines the properties that apply to the running process.
Suppose tracing is enabled for the current program, but tracing is disabled for the called program
section. In this case, the called program has the trace option enabled at runtime because it
inherits the calling program's properties.
38
For example, if program A calls program B and program B calls program C, then the properties of
A apply to both programs B and C. The calling program always controls the properties for the
called program. In this case, program A controls the properties for program B, and because
program B inherits the properties of program A, when program B calls program C, program A’s
properties also apply to program C.
Note. Although program properties are inherited, note that state records do not follow this
inheritance model.
167. PeopleSoft allows multiple long fields per State Record?

a. True b. False
State Records
You assign variables for your Application Engine program through state records, while sections,
steps, and actions pass values to subsequent program steps through state records.
You can have any number of state records associated with a particular Application Engine
program. However, only one record can be the default state record. You can specify both work
(derived) and “physical” (SQL table) records to be used as state records. The only difference is
that derived state records cannot have their values saved to the database at commit time, and so
the values would be lost during a restart. Therefore, PeopleSoft Application Engine erases the
contents of derived state records at commit time if Restart is enabled for the current process.
A PeopleSoft Application Engine state record must have a process instance defined as the first
field and the only key field and the state record name must end with _AET.
Not all the database columns referenced in your program must be in the state record, just the
columns that must be selected into memory so those values can be referenced in a subsequent
program action. You may also want to include additional fields to hold pieces of dynamic SQL, to
use as temporary flags, and so on.
PeopleSoft Application Engine supports long fields unlike COBOL or SQR. However, it
allows only one long field per state record. You set a maximum size for the field in PeopleSoft
Application Designer and make sure that the data space is compatible with the size of the field
that you set.
PeopleSoft Application Engine also supports image fields and long text fields.
168.Let us take a Temp Table TMP_TAO.

In People Tools options the following instance settings are done
Temp Table Instances (Total): 5
Temp Table Instances (Online): 4
In AE1 App Engine Program the instance count to TMP_TAO is 3
In AE2 App Engine Program the instance count to TMP_TAO is 5.
How many instances are created to TMP_TAO?

a.8 b. 17 c. 13 d. 12
Sample Implementation
The following scenario describes the runtime behavior of PeopleSoft Application Engine and
temporary tables.
39
Assume you have Program A and Program B and three temporary table definitions: PS_TMPA,
PS_TMPB, PS_TMPC. Values on the Temporary Tables tab in Program Properties dialog box for
each program are as follows:
• Program A. PS_TMPA and PS_TMPB are specified as the dedicated temporary tables,
and the Instance Count is 4.
• Program B. PS_TMPB and PS_TMPC are specified as the dedicated temporary tables,
and the Instance Count is 3.
After you run SQL Build in PeopleSoft Application Designer, the following inventory of temporary
tables appears in the database.
PS_TMPA PS_TMPB PS_TMPC
PS_TMPA1 PS_TMPB1 PS_TMPC1
PS_TMPA4 PS_TMPB4
PS_TMPB5
PS_TMPB6
PS_TMPB7
Because the Instance Count for Program A is 4, the system builds four instances of PS_TMPA
and PS_TMPB for Program A to use. Because the Instance Count for Program B is 3, the system
builds an additional three instances of PS_TMPB and three instances of PS_TMPC for Program
B to use.
Notice that because Program A and Program B are "sharing" PS_TMPB there are seven
instances. The system derives this total by adding the Instance Count value from all the programs
that share a particular temporary table instance. In this case, the four from Program A and the
three from Program B combine to require a total of seven instances of PS_TMPB to be built.
Given that this collection of temporary tables exists in your database, let's say that you start
Program A. At runtime, PeopleSoft Application Engine examines the list of temporary tables
dedicated to Program A, and assigns the first available instances to Program A. Then, assuming
that no other programs are running, PeopleSoft Application Engine assigns PS_TMPA1 and
PS_TMPB1 to Program A.
Now suppose that shortly after you started Program A another user starts Program B. Again,
PeopleSoft Application Engine examines the list of temporary tables dedicated to Program B and
assigns the first available instances. In this scenario, PeopleSoft Application Engine assigns
PS_TMPB2 and PS_TMPC1 to Program B. Because Program A is already using PS_TMPB1, the
system assigns PS_TMPB2 to Program B.
The system assigns records, such as TMPA, to programs. The base tables, such as PS_TMPA,
are also built, by default, in addition to the dedicated temporary instances. If the Program
Properties dialog box setting for Temp Tables is set to continue when no instances are available,
the system uses the base table instead of the dedicated instance.
40
169. The physical, dedicated tables are locked at the time the Application Engine program is
loaded into memory?
a. True b. False
When a program ends normally or is cancelled by way of Process Monitor, the system
automatically releases the assigned instances.

Configuring Non repudiation

Nonrepudiation functionality requires the following:
• You must supply the digital certificates containing the private and public keys required for
NR transactions. These elements are required at every node that participates in an NR
transaction; PeopleSoft Integration Broker handles the mechanics of applying the keys.
See Installing Node-Based Digital Certificates.
• You select the Non-Repudiation check box in the properties of a message definition to
indicate that it’s an NR message. When you do this on one system, you must select this
42
option on the same message definition on every system that will participate in
transactions using this message.
See Working With Digital Certificates.
• You select the Non-Repudiation check box in a node definition to indicate that it
supports NR. When you do this in a default local node definition, you must select the
same option in any remote node definition that represents the same node on the other
participating systems.
See Defining a Node.
• To save NR messages for future reference, you must make sure they’re archived. With
both archived and active NR messages, you can regenerate the digest in Integration
Broker Monitor to reconfirm that it matches the attached digest.
See Using Integration Broker Monitor.
If a participating node doesn’t use PeopleSoft Integration Broker, that node is still responsible for
managing the appropriate private and public keys, inserting properly formatted signatures in the
NR messages it sends, and properly handling signatures in messages it receives.
173.Which is a record that PeopleTools adds to every level of the Message Structure during
Processing?
a. PSCAMA b. PSCODESET c. PSNODEPROP d. PSGATEWAY

Messages
PeopleSoft Rowset-Based Messages

To work with rowset-based messages — the PeopleSoft native format — you define a message
in Application Designer, insert records into the message definition in a hierarchical structure, then
populate the message and manipulate its contents using the PeopleCode Rowset and Message
classes. Externally, the message is transmitted as XML with a prescribed PeopleSoft schema.
The PeopleSoft message schema includes a PSCAMA record, which PeopleTools adds to
every level of the message structure to convey basic information about the message and
its data rows.
The Rowset and Message classes are recommended for messaging between PeopleSoft
applications. If a message is populated with data from a PeopleSoft application’s database or
component buffer, the Message class is best for handling that data.
174. The main attributes of a Component Interface (CI) are:

a. Component Search Keys, People code Functions and Fields & Scrolls
b. Keys, Properties & Collections and Methods only
c. Name, Properties & Collections and Methods only
d. Keys, Properties & Collections, Methods and Name
e. a and b only
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleSoft Component Interfaces > Introducing Component
Interfaces
Every component interface has the following main attributes:
• Name.
• Properties and collections (fields and records).
43
• Keys (get keys, create keys, and find keys).
• Methods.
Component Interface Attributes
This section discusses the name, keys, properties, collections, and methods of component
interfaces.
Name
Each component interface requires a name. The calling programs use the name of the
component interface to access properties and methods.
Keys
Keys are special properties containing values that retrieve an instance (get keys) or a list of
instances (find keys) of the component interface. When you create a new component interface,
get and find keys are created based on the search record definition for the underlying component.
However, you can add, remove, or change keys in PeopleSoft Application Designer. Create keys
get created for component that have the “Add” action enabled.
Properties
Properties provide access to component data and component interface settings and status when
they’re exposed through a component interface. Component interfaces include two types of
properties, standard and user-defined.
• Standard properties like InteractiveMode, GetHistoryItems, and EditHistoryItems are
assigned automatically when a component interface is created. Standard properties can
be set to true or false. These properties are not displayed in the PeopleSoft Application
Designer.
• User-defined properties map to record fields on the PeopleSoft component and are
displayed in the PeopleSoft Application Designer. A property can correspond to a field or
a scroll (collection).
Note. Every PeopleSoft Application Designer definition—including the component interface—has

a definition properties dialog box in which you make design-time settings for the definition. Those
properties should not be confused with the runtime properties that are discussed here.
Collections
A component interface collection is a special type of property that corresponds to a scroll. It
contains fields and subordinate scrolls as defined in its underlying component. By default, each
collection uses the name of the primary record for the underlying scroll.
Methods
A method is a function that performs a specific task on a component interface at runtime.
Likewise, you can use methods to save or create a new purchase order. Like component
interface properties, there are two main types of methods, standard and user-defined.
• Standard methods are those that are available for all component interfaces. The Find,
Get, Save, and Cancel methods are automatically generated by PeopleSoft Application
44
Designer when a new component interface is created. The Create method gets created
for components that have the “Add” action enabled.
• User-defined methods are created in PeopleSoft Application Designer to provide added
functionality to the component interface. These methods are functions that are made
accessible through the component interface. Each function maps to a user-defined
method.
175. Which of the following are TRUE when a Component Interface is created on component
that has “Add” action enabled
a. Get keys, Create keys and Find keys gets created automatically
b. Get keys and Find keys are only created
c. Only the standard methods are created for the CI
d. The Create method alone gets created for the CI
e. The Create method is created along with the other Standard methods for the CI
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleSoft Component Interfaces > Developing the
Component Interface
1. An untitled component interface appears, showing the Get keys and Find keys. Create
keys are produced only if the underlying component is able to run in Add mode (the
example preceding this procedure does not have Create keys, because the search
record of the underlying component cannot run in Add mode). PeopleSoft Application
Designer generates the keys for you as you drag definitions.
The standard methods Cancel, Find, Get, and Save are automatically created. The
Create method is not automatically created unless the component supports the Add
mode.
176. With reference to the Component Interface Tester which of the following is NOT TRUE
a. Get Existing option is equivalent to opening a record in Update/Display Mode only
b. Create New option is equivalent to creating a new record in Add mode online
c. GetExisting option is equivalent to opening a record in Update/Display or Correction mode
online
d. Find option is equivalent to searching a record
e. When a record is saved a return value of 1 indicates success

3. Enter key values.
a. Double-click the column to the right of any displayed keys.
b. Enter the value in the right-hand column.
The data that is used for the test corresponds to the key values that you enter
here. In the preceding example, we’ve entered an employee ID of 6602.
4. Specify whether to run in Interactive mode.
45
When in Interactive Mode, any action request occurs immediately. Each property being
set causes an immediate trip to the application server (or database server in two-tier
mode). This differs from non-interactive mode, in which actions are often held and later
sent in batches. For example, in non-interactive mode, if you set a property, the property
is not validated until you perform the save. However, in interactive mode the property is
validated immediately. This means that edit processing (and other processing, such as
FieldChange PeopleCode) occurs for each set property.
Whether you select this option depends on how you expect a particular component
interface to be used and what you are currently testing. In a real production system, this
parameter can significantly affect performance, but it makes little difference in the test
component. In non-interactive mode, errors and properties are not updated until a
method is run. By default, Interactive Mode is selected in the component interface tester.
5. Specify whether to get or edit history items.
Selecting Get History Items retrieves history data. Selecting Edit History Items enables
editing and saving of history data. These options apply to effective-dated fields only and
are equivalent to running in either Update/Display or Correction mode online. These
options are initially cleared.
6. Getting existing records for the test.
Clicking Get Existing is equivalent to opening a record in Update/Display or
Correction mode online. It retrieves one row from the database. After you click the
Get Existing button, the Component Interface Tester dialog box appears.
7. Getting existing records using partial keys.
If you want to retrieve a partial key, click the Find button. The Find Results dialog box
appears. You then can choose the specific instance by selecting and clicking the Get
Selected button. If you do not enter a partial key before clicking Find, all key values in the
database are returned (subject to the maximum count of 300, just as when online). This
is the same as calling the Find method through the Component Interface API, followed by
selecting a value from the Find results, setting the Get key, and calling the Get method.
After you click the Get Selected button, the Component Interface Tester dialog box
appears.
8. Creating new records for the test.
Clicking Create New is equivalent to creating a new row in Add mode online. If your
component does not support the Create method, this button is disabled. After you click
the Create New button, the Component Interface Tester dialog box appears.

Understanding PeopleSoft Signon
One of the more fundamental aspects of any security system is how users logon to the system.
The most common direct sign on to the PeopleSoft database is the application server sign on, so
let's examine how the application server signs on to the database. Keep in mind that each ID
discussed in this example is discussed in the following sections.
The basic steps in a PeopleSoft sign on are:
1. Initial connection.
The application server starts, and uses the Connect ID and User ID specified in its
configuration file (PSAPPSRV.CFG) to perform the initial connection to the database.
2. SELECT on security tables.
After the Connect ID is verified, the application server performs a SELECT on
various PeopleTools security tables, such as PSOPRDEFN, PSACCESSPRFL, and
PSSTATUS. From these tables the application server gathers such items as the
user ID and password, symbolic ID, access ID, and access password. After the
application server has the required information, it logs off from this initial
connection.
3. Reconnects with access ID.
When the system verifies that the access ID is valid, the application server begins the
persistent connection to the database that all PIA and Windows three-tier clients use to
access the database. Typically, the users signing on using a Windows workstation are
developers using PeopleSoft Application Designer or end users who need to access
PeopleSoft Query or Tree Manager.
179. What is the configuration file that contains the entire collection configuration values for a
given application server domain?
a. PSAPPSRV.CFG b. PSPRCS.CFG
c. PSNTSRV.CFG d. PSAPPDOM.CFG
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleSoft Server Tools Administration > Using PSADMIN
Utility
Executables and Configuration Files
You can create, configure, and boot an application server domain all from the PSADMIN interface
or through its command line options.
The executables are:
• PSADMIN.EXE. This PeopleSoft executable resides in PS_HOME\appserv.
• UBBGEN.EXE. This PeopleSoft executable resides in PS_HOME\bin\server\winx86.
• TMLOADCF.EXE. This BEA Tuxedo executable resides in TUXDIR\bin.
• TMBOOT.EXE. This BEA Tuxedo executable resides in TUXDIR\bin.
• TMSHUTDOWN.EXE. This BEA Tuxedo executable resides in TUXDIR\bin.
The configuration/data files on which the executables rely all reside in the following directory
PS_HOME\appserv\<domain_name>. Each domain has its own set of these files:
47
• PSAPPSRV.CFG. This is the catchall configuration file that contains the entire collection
configuration values for a given application server domain.
• PSAPPSRV.UBX. This is the template or model file for PSAPPSRV.UBB.
• PSAPPSRV.UBB. This is the file that stores and passes all of the domain values to the
Tuxedo load configuration program (tmloadcf.exe).
• PSAPPSRV.PSX. This file is the template or model file specifically for the application
messaging server configuration sections, such as PSBRKRSRV, PSSUBSRV, and so on.
• PSAPPSRV.ENV. This file contains environment information such as the PS_HOME on
the application server machine.
• PSAPPSRV.VAL. The VAL file contains the format specification for the configuration
parameters and for some parameters a set of valid values that can assigned. This helps
to prevent administrators from entering invalid values.
• PSTUXCFG. This file contains PeopleSoft and Tuxedo information regarding the location
of executables, files, and command lines for server processes. This file is required to
boot a domain.
180. PSWORKLIST record is used for workflow routing .It should contains minimum of
a. 6 keys in ascending orders
b. 6 keys in descending orders
c. 5 keys in ascending orders
d. 6 keys in descending can be Alternate search key
Worklist Records
Entries in worklists are stored in database tables. You define the structure content of these tables
by creating worklist records. The worklist record determines which fields of information the
system stores for each work item and in what order the work items appear.
When a business event routes a work item to a worklist, it adds a row to the table. When a user
finishes with a work item, the system marks the row as worked.
The basic procedure for creating a worklist record definition is the same as for any record
definition, but worklist record definitions have some special requirements.
Worklist Record Definitions

When you create a worklist record definition, you define what a work item in a worklist looks like.
The system uses the worklist record definition to:
• Link each work item with the underlying workflow tracking information, which is stored in
a workflow system record (PSWORKLIST).
• Display relevant information about each work item on the Worklist page, so that users
can select the item on which they want to work.
• Determine the order of work items in the worklist.
• Retrieve the record that is associated with the work item, so that the user can work on it.
System Fields
The first fields in a worklist record definition must always be the following system fields.
48
System Field Description
BUSPROCNAME The business process that includes the work item.
ACTIVITYNAME The activity that triggers the worklist routing.
EVENTNAME The business event that triggers the worklist routing.
WORKLISTNAME The worklist in which the work item is waiting.
INSTANCEID The system-assigned ID for the work item.
TRANSACTIONID The system-assigned transaction ID for the work item. When an event
triggers multiple routings, each work item has the same transaction ID, but a
different instance ID.
The system uses these fields to link the items in the Worklist with their tracking information, which
is stored in the PeopleSoft-defined table PSWORKLIST. They must be defined as ascending key
fields in the worklist record definition.
Virtual Approver, a specialized type of workflow used for approval processes, requires one
additional system field. If you’re using Virtual Approver, you must also add the APPR_INSTANCE
field as a non-key field in the worklist record definition. This field stores the ID assigned to the
work item for Virtual Approver processing.
181. TriggerBusinessEvent is used for triggering the workflow and it’s written on workflow event.
TriggerBusinessEvent has the syntax :
a. TriggerBusinessEvent(BusProcess, BusActivity, BusStep ,BusEvent,);
b. TriggerBusinessEvent(BusProcess,BusActivity,BusEvent);
c. TriggerBusinessEvent(BusProcess,BusActivity,BusEvent,BusStep);
d. TriggerBusinessEvent(BusProcess,BusActivity, BusStep );
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleSoft Workflow > Defining Event Triggers
Using the TriggerBusinessEvent Function

You use this function in every Workflow PeopleCode program.
In components that use Virtual Approver, you don’t use these functions explicitly in the Workflow
PeopleCode. You use the Virtual_Router PeopleCode library function, which uses these two
functions internally.
TriggerBusinessEvent triggers a specified business event and the workflow routings that are
associated with that event. This is the syntax: See also here
TriggerBusinessEvent (BUSPROCESS.BusProcName, BUSACTIVITY.ActivityName,
BUSEVENT.BusEventName)
The BusProcName, ActivityName, and BusEventName parameters are the names of the
business process, activity, and event from PeopleSoft Application Designer. They are all strings,
enclosed in quotes. For example, this line triggers the Deny Purchase Request event in the
Manager Approval activity of the Purchase Requisition business process:
49
TriggerBusinessEvent(BUSPROCESS."Purchase Requisition", BUSACTIVITY."Manager
Approval",BUSEVENT."Deny Purchase Request")

Basic URL Format for PeopleSoft Portals

Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) provide the address for content, so that it can be located and
correctly identified.
The portal servlet needs three pieces of information in order to present a page to the user. These
are the integral parts of a PeopleSoft portal URL:
• The name of the portal through which content is being accessed.
The portal registry determines the content reference for this content, the template and the
pagelets that appear around it
• The node that hosts the content.
The portal servlet uses the node name in the URL to look up the location of the servlet for
that node (stored as part of the node object). If the content is hosted by the local
database, the portal servlet talks to the content servlet directly (Java method calls), not
through HTTP (using the portal content servlet URL).
• The type and ID of the content.
The ID format is different for each content type. Components are identified by menu,
component, and market; scripts are identified by the program name, and so on.
The following illustration shows how the URL lists the required information from left to
right: portal (EMPLOYEE), node (PSFT_HR), content type (c), content ID
(MAINTAIN_SECURITY.USERMAINT.GBL). This is consistent with the logical organization
of content in portals and databases. At the left side of the figure, portals point to nodes,
and ultimately, content within those nodes.

a) SavePreChange b)SavePostChange c)SaveEdit d)RowDelete
Component Processor
SavePostChange Event
After the Component Processor updates the database, it fires the SavePostChange event.
You can use SavePostChange PeopleCode to update tables not in your component using the
SQLExec built-in function.
An Error or Warning in SavePostChange PeopleCode causes a runtime error, forcing the end-
user to cancel the component without saving changes. Avoid Errors and Warnings in this event.
The system issues a SQL Commit after SavePostChange PeopleCode completes successfully.
If you are executing WorkFlow PeopleCode, keep in mind that if the WorkFlow PeopleCode fails,
SavePostChange PeopleCode will not be executed. If your component has both WorkFlow and
SavePostChange PeopleCode, consider moving the SavePostChange PeopleCode to
SavePreChange or WorkFlow.
If you are doing application messaging, your Publish() PeopleCode should go into this event.
Note. Important! Never issue a SQL Commit or a Rollback manually from within a SQLExec
function. Let the Component Processor issue these SQL commands.
SavePostChange PeopleCode can be associated with record fields, components, and component
records

Operating Modes
Operating modes refer to how you are connected to the database. You use PeopleSoft Data
Mover in one of the following modes: regular or bootstrap.
Regular Most of the time you will sign onto PeopleSoft Data Mover in regular mode. To do
Mode this, you simply enter your PeopleSoft user ID and password at the signon screen. In
regular mode, all commands are valid.
Bootstrap At times, you need to signon on to PeopleSoft Data Mover in bootstrap mode, which
Mode means using the database access ID and password at the signon screen. Typically,
using bootstrap mode is necessary for database loading because there are no
PeopleSoft security tables established yet. Bootstrap mode is also used for running
some security commands, such as, ENCRYPT_PASSWORD.
Note. In bootstrap mode, the following commands are not valid: EXPORT, RENAME, and
REPLACE_VIEW.

200. Scope of variable declaration > global, component, local
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleCode Developer's Guide > PeopleCode Language
User-Defined Variable Declaration and Scope

The difference between the variable declarations concerns their life spans:
Global Valid for the entire session.

Component Valid while any page in the component in which it's defined stays active.
Local Valid for the life of the PeopleCode program or function in which it's defined.
You can declare variables using the Global, Local, or Component statement, or you can use
local variables without declaring them. Here are some examples:
57
Local Number &AGE;
Global String &OPER_NICKNAME;
Component Rowset &MY_ROWSET;
Local Any &SOME_FIELD;
Local ApiObject &MYTREE;
Local Boolean &Compare = True;
Variable declarations are usually placed above the main body of a PeopleCode program (along
with function declarations and definitions). The exception is the Local declaration, which you can
use within a function or the main section of a program. You can declare variables as any of the
PeopleCode data types. If a variable is declared as an ANY data type, or if a variable is not
declared, PeopleTools uses an appropriate data type based on context.
Note. PeopleSoft recommends that you declare a variable as an explicit data type unless the
variable is going to hold a value of an unknown data type.
201. Which can not be called from people code > win exec
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleCode Reference > PeopleCode Built-in Functions
WinExec
Syntax
Win Exec(command_line, window_option [, synch_exec])
Description
WinExec executes a Windows executable file (.COM, .EXE, .BAT, or .PIF) specified in the
command_line string. It is suitable for executing short batch-processing jobs that will complete
execution and terminate, returning control to PeopleTools.
The function can make either a synchronous or asynchronous call. Synchronous execution acts
as a modal or "think-time" function, suspending the PeopleSoft application until the called
executable completes. This is appropriate if you want to force the end-user (or the PeopleCode
program) to wait for the function to complete its work before continuing processing. Asynchronous
processing, which is the default, launches the executable and immediately returns control to the
calling PeopleSoft application.
Restrictions on Use in PeopleCode Events

When WinExec is used to execute a program synchronously (that is, if its synch exec parameter
is set to True) it behaves as a think-time function, which means that it can’t be used in any of the
following PeopleCode events:
• SavePreChange.
• SavePostChange.
• Workflow.
• RowSelect.
• Any PeopleCode event that fires as a result of a ScrollSelect (or one of its relatives)
function calls, or a Select (or one of its relatives) Rowset class method.
See Think-Time Functions.
58
Restrictions on Use in Three-Tier Mode and PeopleSoft Internet Architecture
Because it is specific to Windows, WinExec is a client-only function, which limits its use in
three-tier mode and in PeopleSoft Internet Architecture applications.
• In three-tier mode WinExec can be used only in processing groups set to run on the
client. If the WinExec function is called in a processing group running on the application
server, a runtime error occurs.
• In PeopleSoft Internet Architecture applications, where all PeopleCode runs on the
application server, WinExec cannot be used at all.
In PeopleCode programs that run on the application server, you can use the Exec function.
202. Ways to call AE programs: Peoplecode, Batch File, Process Scheduler, Application
Designer
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleSoft Application Engine > Managing Application Engine
Programs
Running Application Engine Programs
You can execute your Application Engine program in one of the following modes: batch using
Process Scheduler, online using a PeopleCode function, and manually using the command line.
The following table lists some differences between online and batch:
Online Execution Batch Execution
Started by CallAppEngine from Started through PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.

PeopleCode.
Program runs quickly, synchronously, Programs run for longer amounts of time,
and at random times. asynchronously, and at scheduled times.
Potential for simultaneous execution. Can be designed for parallel execution for
performance.
Uses the Online Temporary Table pool. Uses the Batch/Dedicated Temporary Table pool.
Batch Using PeopleSoft Process Scheduler

This is the most typical mode of execution. You invoke programs that run in this mode using
PeopleSoft Process Scheduler or the Application Engine Process Request Page. Batch mode is
also referred to as asynchronous execution meaning that it runs independently in the background.
PeopleSoft Application Engine runs on any operating system that PeopleSoft supports as an
application server. If your site uses an operating system that is not supported for PeopleSoft
Application Engine, you must run your Application Engine programs on the application server.
(The only exception is OS/390 (MVS).
To run Application Engine programs on the batch server, you must install Tuxedo. This applies to
both UNIX and Windows NT batch servers. If you run your batch server on the same server
machine as your application server, then the application server and the batch server can share
59
one Tuxedo install. If your batch server is separate from your application server, then you must
install the Tuxedo CD-ROM to your batch server.
TOOLBINSRV The TOOLBINSRV parameter in the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler

Parameter configuration file determines where Process Scheduler invokes an Application
Engine program. For high-volume batch environments, PeopleSoft recommends
specifying the PS_HOME\bin\server\winx86 directory that exists on the same
machine where the Application Engine program runs.
Online Using PeopleCode

Application Engine programs that execute online, typically get executed from a page with
the CallAppEngine PeopleCode function. Such online processes are synchronous meaning that
subsequent processes wait on the results. For instance, a page may be "frozen" until the online
process returns the necessary results. With CallAppEngine there are no COMMITs issued. There
is an asynchronous online PeopleCode option, ProcessRequest. With ProcessRequest,
COMMITs are allowed.
Manual Using the Command Line

Usually, you use this technique only during testing or if you need to manually restart the program.
In this section, we discuss how to:
• Use Process Scheduler to start Application Engine batch programs.
• Use the Application Engine Process Request page.
• Use PeopleCode to call an Application Engine program.
• Use the command line to invoke an Application Engine program

217. When you drill down to a component the navigation path that appears on top of the page in
people soft is termed as what? - Breadcrumb
218. Which people code event is executed when a user tabs out of a field?
a. Field Default b. Save Edit c. Field Change (2nd Choice)
d. Search Init e. Field Edit (1 st choice)
Component Processor
Suppose the end-user changes the data in a page field, then presses TAB to move out of
the field. This end-user action causes the FieldEdit PeopleCode event to fire. The FieldEdit event
affects only the specific field and row where the change took place. If a FieldEdit PeopleCode
program is associated with that record field, the program is executed. The program is executed
just once, on the specific field and row of data.
219. Which people code is executed when data in page buffer is loaded?
a. Row Insert b. Search Save c. Field Default
d. Row init e. Field Edit
Component Processor
RowInit Event
The RowInit event fires the first time the Component Processor encounters a row of data. It is
used for setting the initial state of component controls. This occurs during component build
processing and row insert processing. It also occurs after a Select or SelectAll Rowset method,
or a ScrollSelect or related function is executed.
Note. Generally, if none of the fields in the new row are changed after the row has been inserted
(either by the end-user pressing ALT-7 and ENTER, or programmatically), when the page is
saved, the new row isn’t inserted into the database. However, if the ChangeOnInit Rowset
property is set to False, you can set values for fields a new row in RowInsert or RowInit
PeopleCode, and the row won't be saved.
RowInit is not field-specific: it triggers PeopleCode on all fields and on all rows in the component
buffer.
62
Do not use Error or Warning statements in RowInit PeopleCode: these cause a runtime error
and force the end-user to cancel the component without saving.
RowInit PeopleCode is often paired with FieldChange PeopleCode. In these RowInit/FieldChange
pairs, the RowInit PeopleCode checks values in the component and initializes the state or value
of page controls accordingly. FieldChange PeopleCode then rechecks the values in the
component during page execution and resets the state or value of page controls.
To take a simple example, suppose you have a Derived/Work field called PRODUCT, the value of
which is always the product of page field A and page field B. When the component is initialized
you would use RowInit PeopleCode to initialize PRODUCT equal to A * B when the component
starts up or when a new row is inserted. You could then attach FieldChange PeopleCode
programs to both A and B which also set PRODUCT equal to A * B. Whenever the end-user
changes the value of either A or B, PRODUCT would be recalculated.
RowInit PeopleCode can be associated with record fields and component records.
Exception to RowInit Firing

In certain rare circumstances, the Component Processor doesn't run RowInit PeopleCode for
some record fields. The Component Processor runs RowInit PeopleCode when it loads the record
from the database. However, in some cases, the record can be initialized entirely from the keys
for the component. When this happens, RowInit PeopleCode isn't run.
For RowInit to not run, the following must all be true. If any field of the record doesn't meet these
conditions, the record must be read from the database, and so RowInit PeopleCode runs.
• The record is at level 0.
• Every record field that is present in the data buffers is also present in the keys for the
component.
• Every record field that is present in the data buffers is display-only.
The qualification "that is present in the data buffers" means that the Component Processor
determines the field is required by the component. In practice, this usually means that the field is
associated with a page field, possibly hidden, for some page of the component. It could also
mean that the field is referenced by some PeopleCode program that is attached to an event on
some other field of the component.
RowInit not running isn't considered to be an error. The purpose of RowInit PeopleCode is to
complete initialization of data on the row after it has been read from the database. Because the
data in this special circumstance is coming from the keylist, it has already been initialized
correctly by whatever processing produced the keylist. More general initialization of the
component should be done in PostBuild PeopleCode, not RowInit.
220. Where are the report output files stored?

a. Application Server b. Batch Server
c. Web Server d. File Server
Home > PeopleBooks Library > PeopleSoft Process Scheduler > Using Report Manager
Understanding the Report Manager Views

Use the Report Manager - Explorer and Report Manager - List pages to view all of the reports in
the PeopleSoft system (across multiple databases) that the user is authorized to access. When a
user first enters Report Manager, the Report Manager - Explorer page appears, showing a
hierarchical view of folders and reports.
63
Unlike the Report Manager - Administration page, the Report Manager - Explorer and Report
Manager - List pages list reports when both of the following events occur:
1. The Distribution Agent has successfully posted the report to the report repository.
Once the report has posted, the Distribution Agent publishes a message to have an entry
added to the report folder table for the new report.
2. The local message node has subscribed to the message that was sent by the Distribution
Agent by adding an entry for the report in the report folder table.
New reports that have been scheduled or are in the process of being posted to the report
repository are viewed only through the Report Manager - Administration page.
Note. Folders that have been deleted remain active until all reports have been purged from it.
However, new reports cannot be added to a deleted folder.

251. Two Program views of AE Program?

a). Definition, Program flow b). Definition, Program view
c). Program view, Object view d). None of the above
Definition View:
You use Definition view to create definitions within a defined hierarchical structure, in which
nodes represent the definitions. A node is the visual representation of a section, step, or action
that you can select, collapse, modify, and so on.
The sections that appear in Definition view do not necessarily appear in the order that they
execute. To see the actual order in which the sections execute, switch to Program Flow view.
Program Flow view:
Program Flow view is a read-only view that shows the expected sequence of steps to be
executed at runtime for the program you are developing.
Section filtering View:
Section filtering options enable you to filter the current view so that you see only sections and
steps based on specified criteria.
To enable or modify the filtering options, select View, Section Filtering.
Refresh View:
66
As you develop an Application Engine program, you may be inserting, renaming, and deleting
definitions. In a large program, it can be easy to lose your place or become disoriented. The
Refresh option reorders all the nodes for the current definition
252. State Record can be Dynamic Record?
a. True b. False
When accessing state records with PeopleCode, keep the following in mind:
• State records are unique to Application Engine programs.
• Within Application Engine PeopleCode, state record values can be accessed and
modified using the standard record. field notation.
Dynamic Property
Use the AE_APPLID and AE_SECTION fields in the state record to execute different sections
depending on the conditions a program encounters during runtime.
These two fields must be defined on the default state record for the program. If AE_APPLID is not
present or is blank (at runtime), the current program is substituted for the AE_APPLID value. If
AE_SECTION is not present or is blank, an error occurs.
When issuing a dynamic call, both the section and the program ID must be dynamically set. You
enable a dynamic call by first having your program store different section names in the A For a
dynamic Do action, the AE_APPLID and the AE_SECTION fields must appear on the default
state record. E_SECTION field, and different program names in AE_APPLID field.
253. AE does Parse SQL?

a. True b. False
254. –Trace 255 command line option produces the trace file with the name?
a). PI.AET b). PID.AET c). PD.AET d). None of the above
Command Look for the trace file in the directory specified in the Log/Output field in the
line PS_SERVER_CFG file.
When a program includes a process instance, PeopleSoft Application Engine names the trace
file according to the following convention: AE_Program_name_Process_Instance.AET. When the
program does not include a process instance, PeopleSoft Application Engine names the file
according to this convention: AE_Date/Time_Stamp_OS_PID.AET. The date and time stamp is in
the format month, day, hour, minute, second, with two values for each date element and no
punctuation between elements. For example, August 12 at 5:09 p.m. and 30 seconds would be
0812170930.
Note. For an Application Engine program running on a server, PeopleTools writes the generic
PeopleTools trace for SQL and PeopleCode trace files to the same directories as the AET traces.
The prefix of the trace file name is also the same, and the suffix is trc. On the Windows
workstation, the trace is written to the “People Tools Trace File” specified in the Trace folder of
PeopleSoft Configuration Manager.

258. The application server dynamically scales server processes according to the volume of
transaction requests— which is known as?
a. Dynamic Scalar b. Spawning c. Short Hand Notation d. Process Scheduling
Note. The application server dynamically scales server processes according to the volume of
transaction requests, known as "spawning" server processes. There is no explicit parameter that
you must set to enable spawning. In the following configuration section descriptions, some server
processes enable you to specify a minimum and maximum number of server processes. To
enable spawning, the maximum value must exceed the minimum value by at least one increment.
As needed, the application server spawns server processes up to the maximum value. By setting
the maximum value to be greater than that of the minimum value, you implicitly enable spawning.
As the volume of transactions decreases, the number of spawned server processes decreases,
or decays, until the minimum value is reached.
259. The initial values that you see in PSADMIN are derived from the configuration template that
you select when you create your domain. Where these templates reside in the system?
a. C:\TEMP in the Application Server
b. PS_HOME/pt842/bin in the Application Server
c. PS_HOME/appserv in the Application Server
d. PS_HOME/templates in the Application Server
Each configuration template includes a number of server processes, such as PSAPPSRV, that is
sufficient for its intended load. You can easily modify and create your own configuration templates
to fully include your site's needs. The configuration templates are CFX files in the
<PS_HOME>\appserv directory on the application server. To create your own CFX files, save the
CFX file with a new name after modifying the template values
260. Can a business Process be used as a Navigator Home page?

since the last transmission; and to execute any processing logic associated with those
changes.
(b). processing on the Database server to determine which fields have changed since
the last transmission; and to execute any processing logic associated with those
changes.
(c). processing on the web server to determine which fields have not changed since
the last transmission changes.
Users can also refresh by pressing the ALT-0 hot key, which keeps the cursor in the same field
when the page is refreshed. One can refresh any time during data entry to enable an expert user
to:
Update related display field values for the data that is already entered.

307. Which of the following is correct in regards to the usage of ReUse statement in App.Engine
Programs:
(1). Don't use ReUse if you use %BIND variables to build parts of the SQL statement
(2). If you use STATIC option on the %BIND you can use ReUse.
(3). Don't use ReUse if you have %BIND variables in the field list of a SELECT
statement unless the value is constant.
(4). You can have Application Engine recompile a reused statement by using the %ClearCursor
function.
(a). 1 & 3 only (b). 2 & 4 only (c). 1, 2 & 3 only (d). 2, 3 & 4 only (e). All 1, 2, 3 & 4

PeopleSoft recommends not using it if %BIND variables are building parts of the SQL statement
or are in the field list of a SELECT statement (this does not apply if you use the STATIC option in
%BIND).ReUse converts any %BIND references to state record fields into real bind variables
(:1, :2, and so on), enabling the Application Engine runtime process to compile the statement
once, dedicate a cursor, and then re-execute it with new data as often as your program requires.

Notes
Load balancing and failover > which section of configuration properties peoplesoft configuration
files
The following files – delivered by peoplesoft- are main configuration files related to the general
operations of an PIA architecture
• Configuration.Properties. This is the main peoplesoft configuration file. If you make

modifications to the configuration files, you will find that you make most of your
83
modifications to this file. It contains connection settings, security settings, portal settings
and so on
• Pstools.properties. This configuration file contain selected tuxedo parameters and the
locale_settings for specifying global date and time values
• Error.properties. This file contains error number and messages that the system displays
during the associated events. The error.properties file is designed primarily for displaying
error conditions and parameters. In Most cases, you do not need to modify this file
• Text.properties this file contains the text for pages, which might be indicating a general
error condition. In most cases you do not need to modify this file.
Configuration.Properties
The following table contains the PIA configuration variables that are located in
configuration.properties files. You will also find comments in the configuration.properties
file for easy viewing while editing the file.
Note Variable marked with an asterisk (*) in the Configuration.Properties file must be
reviewed before attempting to use peoplesoft 8. these variables enable the basic connection to
occur between PIA and tuxedo
Variable Description
General settings
‘psserver=”//machinename:port” The psserver parameter must point to your application
server machine name or IP address including the …part
peoplesoft commands using the …machine name. The
people tools version on the applications server must match
the version of the people tools files on the web server. The
syntax of the value is
Domain_name (or IP)>: Jolt port
Unix servers require a domain name for example,
NT
Sserver=SERVER010499:9000
Unix
Sserver=SERVER010400.peoplesoft.com:9000
To enable Jolt failover and load balancing, include
multiple application server domains delimited by commas
for example
NT
Sserver=SERVER01:9000,SERVER2:9010
Unix
SERVER1.peoplesoft.com:9000,
SERVER2.peoplesoft.com:9010
You must be able to ping successfully the application
server from the web server, for the value entered to be
valid. To specify a host name, it amy be required to
specify the fully qualified domain name. If uncertain, use
ping <hostname> ping <hostname.domain.com> or ping
ipaddress to determine which is appropriate

373. Find in object – SQL Injection based question – answer contains the word CreateSQL
SQL Injection
SQL Injection is a technique that enables users to pass SQL to an application that was not
intended by the developer. SQL injection is usually caused by developers who use "string-
building" techniques to generate SQL that is subsequently executed.
The following functions and methods provide a way for SQL to be submitted to the database,
and are therefore subject to SQL injection vulnerabilities:
• SQLExec function
• CreateSQL function
• Rowset class Select method
• Rowset class SelectNew method
• Rowset class Fill method
Rowset class FillAppend method..

Conventional Data Types (10)

The following are the conventional data types:
• ANY
When variables and function return values are declared as ANY, the data type is
indeterminate, enabling PeopleTools to determine the appropriate type of value based on
context. Undeclared local variables are ANY by default.
• BOOLEAN
• DATE
• DATETIME
• FLOAT
• INTEGER
Note. The FLOAT and INTEGER data types should be used only where a performance
analysis indicates that the increased speed is useful and an application analysis indicates
that the different representations won't affect the results of the computations.
• NUMBER
• OBJECT
• STRING
• TIME
89
Object Data Types
The following are the data buffer access types(4)
• Field
• Record
• Row
• Rowset
The following are the page display types(3)
• Grid
• Grid Column
• Page
The following are the Internet Script types(3)
• Cookie
• Request
• Response
The following are the miscellaneous object types(17):
• AESection
• Array
• File
• Interlink
• BIDocs
Note. BIDocs and Interlink objects used in PeopleCode programs run on the application
server can only be declared as type Local. You can declare Interlinks as Global only in an
Application Engine program.
• JavaObject
Note. JavaObject objects can only be declared as type Local.
• Message
• OptEngine
• ProcessRequest
• SoapDoc
• SQL
• SyncServer
• Transform Data
90
Note. Transform Data objects can only be declared as type Local.
• XmlDoc
• XmlNode
Note. XmlNode objects can only be declared as type Local.
API Object Type

The API object type has some additional considerations.
Use this data type for any API object, such as a session object, a tree object, a Component
Interface, a PortalRegistry, and so on.
The following ApiObject data type objects can be declared as Global:
• Session
• PSMessages collection
• PSMessages
• All Tree classes (trees, tree structures, nodes, levels, and so on.)
• All Query classes
All other ApiObject data type objects must be declared as Local.
Considerations Using FLOAT, INTEGER, and NUMBER

The type INTEGER is a number represented as a 32 bit signed twos complement number, so it
has a range of -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
The type FLOAT is a number represented using the machine floating binary point (double
precision) representation. This floating binary point representation is not appropriate for exact
calculations involving decimal fractions; in particular calculations involving money. For
example, because a tenth (1/10 or .1) cannot be exactly represented in floating binary point, a
floating binary point sum of .10 + .10 will not be equal to .20. The default number representation
in PeopleCode is a floating decimal point representation, which avoids this difficulty.
Operations (other than division) are done using integer arithmetic if the operands are both integer
and the destination is integer, even if the variable is declared as NUMBER. The destination is
considered to be integer if one of the following is true:
• It's an assignment to an integer variable or parameter.
• It's an array subscript.
• It's the right-hand operand of a comparison and the left-hand operand is an integer.
• It's a when-expression part of an evaluate statement and the expression evaluated at the
start of the evaluate statement is integer.
• It's a for-loop initial, limit or step expression and the control variable of the for is integer.
Division (the / operator) is never performed using integer arithmetic. It's always performed using
the floating-decimal-point arithmetic, even if the result variable is declared as INTEGER.
91
In general, PeopleSoft recommends the following:
• Use NUMBER for most application data values
• Use INTEGER when you are counting things like rows in a rowset
• Use FLOAT only when you are tuning the code for performance (after it is already
working.) In addition, you should only use it when you are certain that the resulting loss
of precision will not have any impact on the application and that the increase in the speed
of the computation makes a difference to the transaction. In general, there should be very
few applications that use FLOAT
Understanding Logging Systems

This appendix discusses:
• Log and output directory.
• PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server logging system.
• Distribution Agent logging system.
Llog and Output Directory

Specify the Log/Output Directory variable in the configuration file to set a common log and
output directory. The default is:
Log/Output Directory=%PS_SERVDIR%\log output
For each process request, a subdirectory is created in the log and output directory. The naming
convention used for the subdirectory is:
<Process ID>_<Program Name>_<Process Instance>
The assigned process ID is based on the process request’s process type.
Process Type Process ID
COBOL CBL
Application Engine AE
SQR SQR
nVision NVS
Crystal CRW
Cube Manager CUBE
WinWord WRD
Other OTH
92
For example:
• In psprcs.cfg, Log/Output Directory=%PS_SERVDIR%\log_output.
• PS_SERVDIR=c:\pt800\appserv\prcs\ptdmo.
c: represents the drive on the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server, not the client
workstation.
• User runs the SQR report XRFWIN.SQR.
• Process instance is 23.
Using the preceding information, output is written to the following location:
c:\pt800\appserv\prcs\ptdmo\log_output\SQR_XRFWIN_23
Usually, the log files and reports are written to the subdirectory in the log and output directory.
Reports and log files are not written to this directory when:
• A user specifies a directory on the Process Request Dialog page.
This option is available only for the output destination type of File.
• The process definition is set for a process to restrict the output destination type of File,
and a specific directory is specified, other than the meta-string %%OutputDirectory%%.
• A process profile that is assigned for the user who submitted the request indicates an
output directory other than %%OutputDirectory%%.
• A program hard codes the directory to which the log or report should be written.
To control this location and prevent users from sending output to another location, use the
process profile for a class in PeopleSoft Security Administrator by:
• Specifying a file and printer destination in the Server Destinations group box.
• Disabling the Override Output Destination parameter in the Allow Requester To group
box.

Setting Up PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Security
Log Space Threshold

If the Process Scheduler Server detects that the log/output directory space capacity is below the
threshold, it will stop processing any queued requests. This threshold is the bottom line minimum
before the Process Scheduler considers the log to be full. By default the threshold is set to 10
MB.
During the maintenance check, based on the HeartBeat, if the space capacity threshold drops
below the threshold:
• A disk full message gets logged in SCHDLR.LOG.
• The status of Process Scheduler server in the Process Monitor will reflect LOG DISK
FULL.
• An email notification is sent to the administrator.
93
PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server Logging System
This section discusses:
• Logging system.
• Logging levels.
Logging System
The log directory stores the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server logs and SQL trace files. Each
server that is started in the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server has its own set of log and
trace files. The user does not normally need to review these files, unless a problem occurs while
running a process or there is some reason to verify that a process ran as expected.
Location of the Log and SQL Trace Files

The location and name of the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler log files depend on the operating
system on which the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server is started.
Operating System Log Directory
Windows NT/2000 $PS_HOME\appserv\prcs\<Database Name>\LOGS
UNIX $PS_HOME/appserv/prcs/<Database Name>/LOGS
OS390 UNIX System PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server:

Services $PS_HOME/appserv/prcs/<Database Name>/<Log
Directory>/_PSPRCSRVLOG
Distribution Agent Server:
$PS_HOME/appserv/prcs/<Database Name>/<Log
Directory>/_PSDSTSRVLOG
The <Log Directory> corresponds to the directory specified in the Log/Output Directory variable
in the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler configuration file (psprcs.cfg).
For each server that is started, two files generate in the log directory:
• The server log contains messages written by the server to the log file.
These messages are translated to the languages that are supported by PeopleSoft. The
language of the messages is based on the language that is designated in the user profile.
The LogFence parameter, which is set in the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler configuration
file, controls the detail of the message written to this log file.
• The SQL trace file contains the traces of all SQL that is issued by the server.
This file is generated when the TraceSQL parameter in the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler
configuration file has a value other than zero.
If a PeopleSoft Application Engine or Optimization Engine request is initiated by
PSAESRV or PSAEOSRV respectively, the SQL traces that are generated from that
process are stored in the process subdirectory located in the log and output directory.

<Process Scheduler Server> is the name of the server that is defined in the server definition (that
is, PSOS390).
95
At midnight, a new log file is created to contain information for the current MMDD value.
SQL Trace File

The SQL trace file is created when the TraceSQL variable in the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler
configuration file has a value other than zero. This file contains the SQL traces issued by the
Distribution Agent program PSDSTSRV.
Use the TraceSQL variable to set the level of SQL trace by selecting the numerical value
representing each degree of tracing as described. The list of trace levels from which you can
choose appears in the configuration file as shown:
1=SQL Statements
2=SQL statment variables
4=SQL connect, disconnect, commit and rollback
8=Row Fetch (indicates that it occurred, not data)
16=All other API calls except ssb
32=Set Select Buffers (identifies that attributes of columns to be selected)
64=Database API specific calls
128=COBOL statement timings
256=Sybase Bind information
512=Sybase Fetch information
4096=Manager information
8192=Mapcore information
If you want SQL Statements; SQL statement variables; and SQL connect, disconnect, commit,
and rollback information; specify TraceSql=7 (1+ 2 + 4).
Note. The SQL trace file doesn’t delete existing traces that are written from prior runs of the
PSPRCSRV program, and it appends new SQL activity to the end of the file. Because the file can
grow quite large and might fill up your file server, it’s recommended that you reset the TraceSQL
to zero after you complete debugging the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server Agent.
Logging Levels
The logging system enables you to change the level of detail written to the log files. The
mechanism chosen here uses the concept of a detail level and a "fence." Messages are assigned a
numeric detail-level value that reflects the importance of the event that triggers the message in the
operation of the program. This ranges from simple progress messages (very detailed) to error
messages when the program is about to abort (not detailed).
The fence is used to filter out messages that reflect more detail than necessary in a particular
installation. For example, a message must be able to leap the fence to be shown (with a lower
number indicating a higher fence). With the fence set to 2, only messages with a detail level less
than 2 (that is, 0 or 1) appear. The only exception to this is that level 0 messages, and messages
unable to be displayed in the standard message format, cannot be filtered out.
The meaning of a level is completely arbitrary, although a consistent convention should be
followed. The server uses the following convention:
96
Fence Level Description
0 Errors, critical messages, and connection header only.
1 Critical events. For PeopleSoft Process Scheduler, this includes process start
attempts.
2 Warnings.
3 Informational. This is the default fence value.
4 Trace level 1 detail.
5 Trace level 2 detail. This shows all messages that are available.
The fence is determined by an entry in the server configuration file in the [Process Scheduler]
section named LOGFENCE. Normal values are in the range of 0−5 with the default being 3
(informational). A setting of 5 is recommended for installation and troubleshooting. A setting of
0 is good for an installed system that is working smoothly.
The log fence of a message can be seen in the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler log file. In the
following example, you can see the numeric values enclosed in parenthesis following the date
97
and time.
Example of log file
If you receive errors, complete the following tasks to enable debugging and tracing:
1. Set LOGFENCE=5 in the psprcs.cfg file.
2. Set TraceSQL to the appropriate value to generate the SQL trace.

Editing the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Configuration File
Distribution Agent Logging System

The Distribution Agent detects that there are files ready to transfer by querying the Report List
table (PS_CDM_LIST).
Transfer Log for FTP and XCOPY
98
When the Distribution Agent transfers files using the FTP or XCOPY protocol, it tables the
information for all of the process requests and assigns a transfer log to this transfer attempt. Any
activity from transferring the files for these process requests is recorded in a log file with the
following format:
<Log Directory>\_PSDSTSRVLOG\transfer_<Transfer Instance Number>.log
Following are examples of transfer log files for FTP and XCOPY transfer protocols:
Example of transfer log using the FTP command
Example of transfer log using the XCOPY command
Transfer Log for HTTP
99
When HTTP is used to transfer files to the Report Repository, it doesn’t generate a transfer log
like FTP and XCOPY. All logs relating to the HTTP activities are logged in the Process Message
Log table and can be viewed by clicking the Message Log link on the Process Monitor Detail
page in PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.

PS Administration
Symbolic ID
PeopleSoft encrypts the Access ID when it is stored in the PeopleTools Security tables.
Consequently, an encrypted value can’t be readily referenced nor accessed. So when the Access
ID, which is stored in PSACCESSPRFL, must be retrieved or referenced, the query selects the
appropriate Access ID by using the Symbolic ID as a search key.
Also, the Symbolic ID acts as an intermediary entity between the User ID and the Access ID. All
the User IDs are associated with a Symbolic ID, which in turn is associated with an Access ID. If
you change the Access ID, you need to update only the reference of the Access ID to the
Symbolic ID in the PSACCESSPRFL table rather than with each and every User Profile in the
PSOPRDEFN table.
Authentication and Signon PeopleCode

PeopleSoft provides various authentication options. You can store your PeopleSoft passwords
within PeopleTools, in the PSOPRDEFN table. You can also store and maintain your user
passwords and the rest of the user profile data in an LDAP directory server. PeopleSoft retrieves
the information stored in an external directory server using a combination of the User Profile
component interface and Signon PeopleCode.
If you decide to reuse existing user profiles stored in a directory server, you don’t need to
perform dual maintenance on the two copies of the user data—one copy in the LDAP server and
one copy in PSOPRDEFN. PeopleSoft ensures that the user information stays synchronized. If
you configure LDAP authentication, you maintain your user profiles in LDAP and not in
PeopleTools Security.
Signon PeopleCode executes whenever a user logs onto the system. Signon PeopleCode copies
the most recent user profile data from a directory server to the local database whenever a user
100
logs on. PeopleSoft applications reference the user information stored in the PeopleSoft database
rather than making a call to the LDAP directory each time the system requires user profile
information. Signon PeopleCode ensures the local database has a current copy of the user profile
based on the information in the directory. Each time the user signs on, Signon PeopleCode checks
to see to see if the row in the user profile cache needs to be updated.
The following list shows a high-level view of the signon process flow.
1. The user enters User ID and Password on signon page.
2. PeopleTools attempts to authenticate the user against the PSOPRDEFN table.
3. Signon PeopleCode executes. The default Signon PeopleCode program is designed to
update the use profile based on the current data stored in the directory server.
If needed, you can use Signon PeopleCode and business interlinks to synchronize the local copy
of the user profile with any data source at sign on time—the program that ships with PeopleTools
is designed to synchronize the user profile with an LDAP directory server only. Because the
signon program is PeopleCode you can modify it as you want, incorporating any of the
PeopleSoft integration technologies that PeopleCode supports.
To Edit the Signon PeopleCode program, you open the LDAP function library record and use the
PeopleCode Editor to customize the PeopleCode. Developers who modify the Signon
PeopleCode program need to have a good understanding of PeopleCode and the integration
features it offers.
Note. Only users who signon through PIA or three-tier Windows Clients take advantage of
Signon PeopleCode.
Authentication
One of the first options to consider is how you plan to authorize users as they attempt to signon to
your PeopleSoft system. Do you want to store and maintain the PeopleSoft user passwords within
PeopleSoft, or do you plan to take advantage of the existing user profiles in an external directory
server?
PeopleSoft-based Authentication
This option is, generally, the way PeopleSoft customers have authorized users in previous
releases. This option means that potentially thousands of PeopleSoft user passwords will be
stored and maintained solely within PeopleSoft. Although this method does not require a large
amount of storage, it does add administration issues, mainly because your PeopleSoft passwords
are yet another password your users need to remember.
With this option there are only two database-level IDs, the Access ID and the Connect ID. The
passwords reside in the PSOPRDEFN along with the other user information.
Directory-based Authentication
The other option you have is to take advantage of a central repository for user information in a
directory server. The directory server operates under the LDAP protocol.
The advantage of this option is that a user has one user ID and password that allows access to
numerous software systems within your organization.

Introduction
Fit/Gap analysis reviews:
each of the business processes by functional area,
all key data elements that will need to be converted,
methods for the use of certain data elements.
The purpose of fit gap analysis is to:
ensure that PeopleSoft meets all current Brandeis business processes;
moderate changes in procedures to be sure that "Best Practice" is the norm;
identify necessary interfaces for capture; and
identify issues that require policy changes.
Process
Sessions
The fit gap analysis process will take place in sessions conducted by a
PeopleSoft functional expert. Working sessions will begin developing the
input for Brandeis-specific rules and tables. Management representatives will
attend any sessions covering controversial topics.
Session Schedule
We will need at least three full-day sessions lasting from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
per module. Because the required tasks can be extremely detailed, we may
need as much as several weeks to complete work on any one module.
Because different gaps can require more research, we may need additional
time or resources for investigation by PeopleSoft consultants and Brandeis
functional and technical resources.
Session Purpose
The fit gap working sessions will:
determine necessary interfaces,
identify conversion requirements,
determine necessary customization,
develop the prototype model,
develop testing requirements,
identify necessary outside vendor contacts,
identify reporting requirements,
identify security requirements,
identify testing scenarios/scripts, and
configure PeopleSoft to reflect Brandeis control tables, and business
processes and rules.
Attendees
A cross section of the user community, technical staff, and management will
attend fit gap sessions, including the .

Financial Technical Lead
Conversion Technical Lead
Data Administrator and,
Project Manager.
and representatives of:
G/L,
A/P,
P/O,
Budgeting,
Grants,
HR,
Payroll,
Student, and
Other management as needed.
Equipment
Fit gap sessions will use:
a PC linked to the PeopleSoft demo database and the current on-line
system,
a PC image projector,
a whiteboard,
post-it sheets, and
snacks.
Agenda
All fit gap sessions should include:
review of prior session minutes,
reading of the agenda,
update of the status of action items.
Deliverables
Fit gap sessions will deliver:
functional specifications for -
conversion,
interfaces,
customizations,
reports, and
security;
prototyping scripts,
issue resolution,
a fit gap document detailing the results of the fit gap analysis process,
a draft prototype database to explain the fit gap results to the user
community and show how the resulting system will work at Brandeis.
