N vision (mainly financials): PS/nVision enables you to retrieve information from your PeopleSoft database into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet—not merely as "raw" data, but as information in a form that helps you see the big picture, explore the details, and make decisions. Query: For defining database queries in an easy-to-use graphical environment. You create queries to extract the data you need from your PeopleSoft database. Tree Manager: Tree Manager to create and maintain trees. A tree is a PeopleSoft object that defines the groupings and hierarchical relationships between the values of a database field. Cube Manager: Cube Manager allows you to define and save templates for building and updating OLAP cubes. The Cube Manager provides all these benefits while achieving a nearly platform-independent solution -the great majority of a cube's design attributes can be applied to either Arbor Essbase or Cognos PowerPlay. Used for complex reporting

23. PeopleSoft Tools Business Process: Workflow: Message Agent: To automate the process with 3 rd party applications. To automate the Business process without any human intervention. Example Purchase Req, Purchase Order etc.,

40. LEGACY MANAGEMENT PRACTICE

41. Introduction of Legacy Practice What are legacy systems? IBM Mainframes in the high-range and AS/400, Unix in the mid-range systems Developed 2-3 decades ago Poorly documented, expensive to maintain and yet extremely fast and robust! Used by most banks, insurance companies, manufacturing, automotive, power/ utilities and retail clients

42. What are Legacy Systems? Mainframes Relatively large computers built to handle very large databases, thousands of user terminals with fast response times, and millions of transactions Used mainly by Large companies for mission critical applications and bulk data processing e.g. Banking and Insurance (Mellon Bank, Allstate), Retail (Wesco, Les Schwab, Lowe’s), Healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, Harrington Benefit Services), Automotive (Blue Bird, Goodyear), Telecommunications (Alltel) Government organizations (e.g. Ohio Dept. of Taxation) Mid Range Systems Application System 400 ( AS/400 ) Middleware Technologies used to connect Legacy to Open Systems (Microsoft/ Sun technologies) IBM MQ Series TIBCO

43. Skills – Mainframe Combinations : COBOL, CICS, VSAM, JCL COBOL, CICS, DB2, JCL COBOL, IMS DB/DC, JCL COBOL – VS COBOL II, MF COBOL, AcuCOBOL Database Management Systems (DBMS) IMS DB/DC – an older hierarchical DBMS (Info Mgmt System – DB is the database component and DC is online screens) – very complex logic, used from within COBOL programs IDMS – an older network DBMS – also very complex DB2 – a Relational DBMS like Oracle VSAM (Virtual Storage access method) is a file based system – used for data storage and access…which is now done by a DBMS JCL (Job Control Language) Tools Version Control: Changeman, Endevor, CA-Panvalet Debugging: Xpeditor Tool-writing: Rexx, CLIST Environment MVS or Z/OS – OS; TSO (Time Sharing Option), ISPF (Interactive System Productivity Facility) – Development Environments

44. Skills – AS/400 Languages: RPG, RPGLE – different versions (COBOL programmers can usually learn this very fast) COBOL, C, C++, Java etc. also work on AS/400 Operating System: OS/400 Control Language: CL/400 – similar to batch programming on DOS and JCL on mainframe Development Tools: PDM (Programming Development Manager), SEU (Source Entry Utility – the editor for PDM), DFU (Database File Utility – similar to SPUFI for DB2), SDA (Screen Design Aid), RLU (Report Layout Utility), QUERY/400 Signon / Synon / 2E- An integrated development environment to develop COBOL and RPG code for AS/400s Database: DB2/400 – IBM DB2, but operates on OS/400 – Knowledge of SQL
