  • Considerations

20
Person Model Introduced in 8.9
  • New Functionality
  • Multiple Employment Instances for same EMPLID
    regardless of whether Employee or Non-Employee
  • Person of Interest functionality
  • What this means to You
  • Contingent Worker conversions to Employees can
    have same EMPLID
  • Can track Persons of Interest without actually
    Hiring the Person
  • Decide how to handle Rehires
  • Multiple Employment Instances or Rehire into
    Existing Employment Instance
  • Broadcom Approach/Methodolgy
  • Conversion from Contingent Worker to Employee
    using same EMPLID with a new Employment Instance.
    Maximum of only 2 Employment Instances
  • Rehired Employees/Contingent Workers rehired into
    existing Employment Instance
  • Primary Job Indicator used to determine Active
    Instance
  • Not currently using Person of Interest
    functionality

21
Manage Hires
  • New Functionality
  • Enhanced integration with PeopleSoft Recruiting
    Solution
  • What this means to You
  • Hiring an Applicant is longer process than
    previous Applicant Hire Process
  • Manage Hire Process automatically adds new
    Employment Instance for Existing EMPLIDS -
    Consideration for Rehires
  • Integration Broker Configuration required
  • Additional Security access required for all users
    performing Manage Hires activity
  • Broadcom Approach/Methodolgy
  • Business Process and Integration from External
    Applicant Tracking System had to be modified to
    accommodate new functionality
  • Manage Hires functionality not used for Rehires

22
Dependent Beneficiary Data
  • New Functionality
  • Dependent and Beneficiary Data is now Effective
    Dated
  • What this means to You
  • Integrations and/or Customizations may be
    affected
  • DEPENDENT_BENEF Record is now a View
  • New views introduced in eBenefits
  • DEP_ASOF
  • BEN_ASOF
  • Broadcom Approach/Methodolgy
  • Integrations and Customizations using
    DEPENDENT_BENEF had to be modified
  • New eBenefits views caused issues with Future
    Dated Events (Open Enrollment). This was fixed
    in a later bundle.

23
Additional Considerations
24
  • Lessons
  • Learned

25
Application Security
  • Challenges
  • Delivered 9.0 upgrade scripts did not remove all
    8.8 related content references on menus
  • Security Administrator had to manually remove all
    duplicate content references
  • Integration Broker related security must be
    granted to individual users
  • Security to Component Interfaces must be granted
    to individual users
  • Import and Export of Security between
    environments
  • Lessons Learned
  • Exclusive test scripts are needed for testing
    security
  • Involve Security Administrator from the very
    beginning
  • Not Authorized need not be an issue with
    Security
  • Clear your cache and bounce the servers

26
Compare Reports
  • Challenges
  • PeopleTools 8.48.x comes with a new html based
    compare report tool
  • Compare reports also provide a summary sheet of
    the results
  • Summary level details are sometimes misleading
  • Missed approximately 100 objects in scoping and
    retrofitting efforts
  • Lesson Learned
  • Pay close attention to the compare reports
  • Scope your work with the detailed analysis of the
    compare reports

27
Test Environments
  • Challenges
  • To allow maximum flexibility, Broadcom provided
    an ALLPAGES level access to Developers,
    Business Analysts, Security Administrator, and
    the upgrade team.
  • While it provided greater flexibility in
    addressing the issues that were cropping up,
    everyone was able to make changes to the code,
    security etc. making the system very
    unpredictable.
  • Lesson Learned
  • Have a very controlled test pass environment
  • All code changes need to happen on an environment
    that is the previous test pass
  • Code migrations are fine, as long as they are
    moved in manageable projects

28
Integration Broker
  • Challenges
  • Integration Broker has changed drastically in the
    new PeopleTools version 8.48
  • Integration Broker architecture has changed
  • Integration Broker related setups may need to be
    re-configured
  • Lesson Learned
  • Integration Broker skill set is required in the
    project team to have a successful upgrade

29
Upgrade Scripts
  • Challenges
  • Upgrade scripts do include executing some
    functional reports. Need functional user to
    review the reports
  • Data Conversion scripts failed due to
    PS_EMPLOYMENT being a view
  • A Data Conversion step failed after 1.5 hours of
    execution. Script modification was required.
  • Lessons Learned
  • PS_EMPLOYMENT view has to be created prior to
    executing upgrade scripts
  • Download the latest upgrade template from
    customer connection
  • Functional resource is required to execute few
    upgrade script steps

30
Coding/Naming Standards
  • Challenges
  • Some of the developers did not follow Broadcoms
    coding standards
  • The code documentation had to be modified to meet
    Broadcoms standards
  • Additional effort required to modify the
    documentation
  • Lessons Learned
  • Provide the standards to the team at the start of
    the project
  • Train team members on the standards
  • Conduct code reviews to ensure that team is
    following the standards.

31
Oracle/PeopleSoft Issues
  • Challenges
  • PeopleSoft application and tools defects were
    discovered during the upgrade
  • Some of these issues became bottleneck in
    progressing to the next steps
  • Define Responsibility for addressing
    Oracle/PeopleSoft issues
  • Lessons Learned
  • Engage Oracle support through your Sales
    Representative
  • Open a priority 1 cases to get quicker resolution
  • Get clarity upfront as to responsibility for
    addressing Oracle/PeopleSoft issues
  • Get clarity on project and budget impact for when
    Oracle does not resolve issues in a timely manner
