Peoplesoft introducing PeopleSoft
Update Manager (PUM) from PeopleTools 8.53.
PeopleSoft
Update Manager provides the tools you needs to reduce time, effort, and the
cost of PeopleSoft application maintenance. On a regular schedule, PeopleSoft
will deliver the most current PeopleSoft applications code and objects in the
form of a PeopleSoft Update Image on a Virtual Machine. PeopleSoft Update
Manager utilizes familiar tools like Change Assistant and Change Packager and
provides a way for customers to select what they want to patch to their
environment. With PeopleSoft Update Manager:
- Your environment
does not have to be current on maintenance.
- You can select a
single fix and have the system automatically find the needed prerequisites
to go with that fix.
- You can “get
current” on fixes by having the system generate a custom change package
that suits the current state of your environment.
User can select a single fix and the requisite fixes that
must also be applied are combined together into a single, automatically generated
package.
You now
have the option of reviewing fixes provided in application maintenance and
deciding which fixes and enhancements will be of value to them. After the
desired fixes are identified, PUM will analyze the requisite fixes, determine
which have already been applied in the environment, and generate a custom
package that contains the desired fix and all requisite dependencies.
PUM
will:
- Reduce the number
of unnecessary fixes customers must apply to their system to resolve a
particular issue.
- Increase the
likelihood that an individually selected fix will include associated
dependencies, something that is often missed when fixes are selected
manually.
- Decrease the risk
of applying individual fixes rather than complete maintenance packs or
bundles.
