One of the key features of PeopleSoft over the years has been the ability to customize and tailor the system per the user’s needs.
One of the key features of PeopleSoft over the years has been the ability to customize and tailor the system per the user’s needs. With the release of PUM and quick succession of latest images being released, it becomes increasingly challenging to uptake new features and increasingly expensive to maintain customizations.
Over the last few releases, PeopleSoft has identified and introduced interesting ways to minimize invasive customizations/isolate customizations, of which AppEngine Plugins were introduced in PeopleTools 8.58.
In the latest PeopleTools release 8.58, PeopleSoft allows us to configure (create/modify) an application engine program through PeopleTools. There was no such configuration of application engine till PeopleTools 8.57, but with the release of PeopleTools 8.58, there is a configuration page where we can configure an Application Engine action plug-in to alter the SQL or PeopleCode actions of any Application Engine program.
Modified SQL or PeopleCode action of any application Engine Program is executed at runtime only. This feature helps in modifying code without customizing the actual application engine program.
Enabled: This is a checkbox field, when checked it enable or activate the specific row configuration.
Section: This a dropdown field. This field will list all the sections (that has SQL and PeopleCode) present in the application engine which has been selected in the search page. Select the section from the list which you plan to customize.
Step: This a dropdown field. Once the section is selected, Step field will be enabled, and the user can select the Step involved in the section selected.
Action: This is dropdown field. Once Step is selected the Action field will be enabled. Only PeopleCode and SQL will show up (that can be modified).
Plugin Name: This is a prompt field which contains all the application engine names. User has to select the application engine name for which he needs to run before, after or replace the action of selected application engine in search page.
For Example: If user has selected “Test1” Application engine and “step 1 PeopleCode” and if he wants to run “Test2” Application engine’s PeopleCode or SQL before, after or want to replace the step then “Test 2” application engine name need to be selected as PlugIn Name.
Note: In Plugin Name User can select the same application engine as Program Name.
After the Application Plugin is selected, the section field, step field and action field of the plugin will be enabled for selection.
Mode: There are three modes available in this dropdown. After, Before and Replace
Order Within Mode – This Field is used as sequence number. If User uses multiple plug in using same mode of Same Section of same step and same action, then Order Within Mode is used to identify the sequence in which the program will executed.
Note: This field is not required if user selects different action of same step and section.
Below is the error if Order within Mode is not selected
Below is the screenshot with the Order Within mode selected/
Description: This is optional field to provide the notes like the developer comments in PeopleCode.
Note: User can select SQL or PeopleCode plugin action for SQL or PeopleCode program action.
