Step: Compare Project with Source Database

First step in the migration of a PeopleSoft-delivered change package to your environments. PeopleSoft Change Assistant runs a compare report of the project between a PeopleSoft demo database that contains this project and your target database.

Manual Step: Examine Compare Report

After the project compare completes, examine the report and decide whether or not to accept the object change.

1. Using Application Designer, modify the actions for each of the objects in the source database.

2. Within PeopleSoft Change Assistant, mark this step Complete or you cannot continue with the migration process.

Note: PeopleSoft does not support the addition or removal of objects through the migration process.

Step: Copy Project From Source Database

PeopleSoft Change Assistant copies the project from your source database to your target database, based on the object actions you specified in the previous step.

Step: Extract Change Package
