1. SiS Technical Training Development Track Technical Training(s) Day 1 – Day 2

2. Agenda  Introduction to Application Designer  Introduction to Basic Objects  Basic Objects Practice (Instructor Led)  Introduction to Component, Menu and Portal  Types of Records  Dynamic Views and Prompts  Register Application  Introduction to PIA

3. Introduction to Application Designer Overview:  PeopleSoft Application Designer enables application developers to create PeopleSoft pages that can be opened from a browser and are available over the internet.  PeopleSoft Application Designer is the core development tool used to build and modify PeopleSoft applications. PeopleSoft Application Designer enables you to build a variety of definitions(basic blocks), including: Fields Records (Tables) Pages Components Menus PeopleCode SQL

4. Introduction to Basic Objects  The basic objects for Peoplesoft which also serves as the building blocks are: Fields Records (Tables) Pages Components Menus PeopleCode SQL  Lets explore each of these basic objects and their relation in between them.

5. Fields  Fields are the basic building blocks in PeopleSoft system; in database terms, they represent columns in a table or view.  Field definitions are stand-alone development definitions, defined in PeopleSoft Application Designer, and can be shared across multiple record definitions.  Each field definition includes attributes, such as data type, field name, long name, short name, field length, and various formatting values.  Fields are used in Records/Tables.  Let us practice creating a new field.

6. Fields Continued

8. Records  Fields that are grouped together as a unit are record definitions.  Record Types: SQL Table: To define a record definition that has a corresponding physical SQL table in the database. SQL View: To define a record definition that corresponds to a SQL view, which is not a physical SQL table in the database but fields from one or more SQL tables that are reorganized into a different sequence. Dynamic View: To define a record definition that can be used like a view in pages and PeopleCode, but is not actually stored as a SQL view in the database. Instead, the system uses the view text as a base for the SQL Select that is performed at runtime. Derived/Work: To define the record definition as a temporary workspace to use during online page processing. It is not stored in the database, so you do not build it. SubRecord: To define the record definition as a subrecord: a group of fields that is commonly used in multiple record definitions and that you can add to other record definitions. Query View: To define the record definition as a view that is constructed using the PeopleSoft Query tool. Temporary Table: To define the record definition as a temporary table. You can specify temporary images of the table on the PeopleTools Options page. Use temporary tables for running PeopleSoft Application Engine batch processes. Temporary tables can store specific data to update without risking the main application table.  You cannot add PeopleCode to a field until you save the record definition.  Let us practice creating a new record.

13. Pages  Pages are the graphical interface between your users and your application database.  Creating Page Definitions  Add page controls  Set page field properties for controls  Create display control and related fields Level-Based Controls are: Grids Scroll areas Scroll bars Four Levels: Level 0: This level directly corresponds to the high-level key information of the underlying record. Level 0 fields are usually physically located at the top of the page, set to be display-only, and display the data that the user entered on the initial search page. Levels 1−3: These levels correspond to lower level key information that is subordinate to the Level 0 key values. Level 1 is subordinate to Level 0; Level 2 is subordinate to and nested within Level 1; and Level 3 is subordinate to and nested within Level 2. Let us practice creating a new page.

14. Pages Continued

19. Design a Page

20. Components  A component represents a complete business transaction. It comprises either a single page or a set of pages that is meant to be processed as one page. After you create pages, you add them to one or more components to access them through menus or in business processes.  Make a new component and then insert the created page into newly made component by drag and drop.  PeopleSoft Application Designer includes a validate utility to verify the integrity of components.  Let us create a new component and add the page definitions into it.

21. Components Continued

23. Menus

24. Menus Continued

26. Permission List  Create a new Permission List.  Navigation: Main Menu> PeopleTools> Security> Permissions & Roles> Permission Lists

27. Folder  Create a new Folder.  Navigation: Main Menu> PeopleTools> Portal> Structure and Content  Click on Add Folder link.

28. Register the Component  After you create pages and assign them to a component, you must register that component to display the transaction page in the browser. You can use the Registration Wizard to do this. The wizard gathers information, attaches the component to a menu, assigns a permission list to allow security access rights, and places a content reference entry in the portal registry, which displays the component to the user on the navigation menu.  Please create Menu definition, Permission List and Folder for registering the component.  Note. Before running the Registration Wizard, the menu definition, permission list, and folder must exist. The wizard does not create these definitions.  Let us practice the registration of component.

29. Register the Component Continued

35. Overall Structure

36. Introduction to PIA Overview: PeopleSoft application runs within the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture (PIA). The browser sends requests to the web server, which transmits the request to the application server, which generates the SQL to run on the database. The basic elements of the PeopleSoft architecture and their physical relationship:
