PeopleSoft Upgrade - Data Conversion

Dave Thomas

Senior Principal Technical Support Analyst


AGENDA

Why is data converted?

Data conversion in PeopleTools only upgrades

PeopleTools HASH tables

Data conversion tables

The Data Conversion Analyzer

Performing data conversion concurrently

Data conversion in application upgrades

What to do if a problem is encountered

Problems with restarting

Customizations and data conversion

Questions and answers


Why is Data Converted?

Fields are moved

– From one table to another

Fields are changed

– Numeric to Alphanumeric

– Length has changed and needs to be padded

Fields are added

– Which are based on other fields possibly from other tables

Tables have been added

– Which need to be populated from other tables (new child tables)

– Where the data has been split


Data Conversion in PeopleTools Only Upgrades

Updating the REN Server Configuration

Populating MCF Data

Converting Portal Objects

Converting Query Prompt Headings

Encrypting Connector Passwords

Loading Conversion Data

Reporting Conversion Details

Running PeopleTools Data Conversion

Completing the PeopleTools Conversion






PeopleTools HASH tables

New as of 8.51

Populated via UPGPTHASH Application Engine (part of group 1)

License Code correct?

PSSQLHASH

PSPCMTXT

Duplicate inserts fixed in 8.51.17, 8.52.05, 8.53.00

Performance issues

– Allocate enough memory in the database

– Truncate tables


Data conversion tables

Loading Conversion Data

– PTUPGCONVERT

Required for Upgrade patches

Exporting/Importing Data Conversion Driver Data

– PS_UPG_DATACONV (PS_PTIA_DCAEPGMS in 9.2)

Running the Data Conversion Analyzer

– PS_EOUF_* tables in 9.0 and 9.1

– PS_PTIA_* tables in 9.2


The Data Conversion Analyzer

What is the EOUFANALYSIS program? What does it do?

In application Upgrades, the EOUFANALYSIS Application Engine program is

run to perform a detailed analysis of the data conversion code within the

MAIN data conversion group, for the specific upgrade path. It will determine

the Source and Target Tables used in each Application Engine step.

The data generated by this process is used later in the upgrade to calculate

the table dependencies between the data conversion sections that are

executed at runtime.

This does not run in PeopleTools Only Upgrades.

Renamed to PTIAANALYSIS in 9.2 upgrades.


Performing Data Conversion Concurrently


Data Conversion in Application Upgrades

BACK UP BEFORE DATA CONVERSION

Reviewing the Upgrade Driver Programs

Using the Data Conversion Documentation

Writing Data Conversion for Your Non-Oracle Records

Reviewing Data Conversion Errors Expected During the Initial

Upgrade Pass

Restarting Data Conversion



Each of the upgrade data conversion sections contains comments

that describe the processing performed by

the section. Oracle delivered an SQR to list all of these comments

by the group and sequence numbers that

determine how they run. The name of this report is UDATACNV.

To run UDATACNV:

Using SQRW, run SQR UDATACNV on your Copy of Production

database.

When prompted for upgrade path, enter: F890

When prompted for group number, enter the two-digit group number

to report on, or enter 0 to see the comments for all groups.

This report is now PTIA0010 in 9.2 upgrades.


Data Conversion in Application Upgrades To access the Upgrade Drivers page:

1. From your browser, sign in to the Demo database.

2. Select Set Up <application name>, Upgrade, Define Upgrade

Drivers.

3. Enter your upgrade path:

F900

4. Click Search.

The Upgrade Drivers page appears



Oracle has delivered a series of standard reports to address the

most commonly accessed information in the EOUF repository.

– EOUF0001.SQR Tables Referenced Report

– EOUF0002.SQR Customization Impacts Report

– EOUF003.SQR Execution Report by Section – Duration

– EOUF0004.SQR Execution Report by Section – Start Time

– EOUF0005.SQR Execution Report by Step

– EOUF006.SQR Execution by Thread Report

– EOUF007.SQR Thread Duration Report

– EOUF0008.SQR Execution Comparison Report

– EOUF0009.SQR Table Analysis Report

All have been renamed to PTIA in 9.2 upgrades


What to do if a Problem is Encountered

Don’t panic!

Sleeping on the job is not a problem.

Fix the problem

Check for newer Required for Upgrade fixes

If you have customized records that are delivered from Oracle, you

may need to make changes to the Application Engine programs to

handle these customizations.

– If you added fields to an Oracle-delivered record, you may need to add

your additional fields to the conversion code for those records.

Restart Data Conversion


Problems With Restarting

Looping

– E-UPG: Restarting Data Conversion Application Engine from

Change Assistant Results in Looping [ID 1449124.1]

Unable to find previous Process Request

– E-CA: "Error: Unable to find previous Process Requests." When

Restarting Data Conversion from Change Assistant for 9.1 and

Higher Upgrades. [ID 1151783.1]


Customizations and Data Conversion

If you have customized records that are delivered from Oracle, you

may need to make changes to the Application Engine programs to

handle these customizations.

– If you added fields to an Oracle-delivered record, you may need to add

your additional fields to the conversion code for those records

If an Oracle-delivered record that you customized will be deleted,

you may need to add your own conversions to move the data to a

new location.
