PeopleTools Tables (Where the MetaData is Stored)

PeopleTools Tables (Where the MetaData is Stored)


I heavily utilize the Tools tables for reporting, object-oriented programming, and speeding up development tasks. Here’s a list of ones that I have used in some fashion or another…

Also see the SQL Project Items List via SQL which utilizes many of these tables to pull all objects and details about the objects included in your PeopleSoft project.

Application Engine Meta Data:          Tables holding Application Engine Meta Data for the AE, Section, Steps and SQL.
Change Control:                        Tables holding PeopleTools project change history and current locks on Tools objects.

                                       necessary to run a process.

Application Engine Meta Data

PSAEAPPLDEFN

AE header record; 1 row per app engine

PSAEAPPLSTATE

AE state records (shows which one is the default)

PSAEAPPLTEMPTBL

AE temp tables assigned

PSAESECTDEFN

AE sections: public or private

PSAESECTDTLDEFN

AE section: descriptions, market, DB Type, EFFDT, EFF_STATUS, and auto commit

PSAESTEPDEFN

AE steps within section: description, market, DB Type, EFFDT, EFF_STATUS

PSAESTMTDEFN

AE actions within AE step: Step type (SQL, Do Select, etc.) with SQLID. See SQL Definitions for how to pull the SQL

PSAESTEPMSGDEFN

AE message (parameters in each step)

AEREQUESTPARM

AE request parameters table behind the AE run control page.

Find All Records Referenced in App Engine

1. Find the Temp Records (TAO) that are used:

SELECT RECNAME FROM PSAEAPPLTEMPTBL WHERE AE_APPLID = 'MY_APP_ENGINE_NAME'

2. If there are records, find the number of instances:

SELECT TEMPTBLINSTANCES FROM PSAEAPPLDEFN WHERE AE_APPLID = 'MY_APP_ENGINE_NAME'

3. For each table found in step 1, create as many instances as step 2 indicates.
For example, step 1 returns record MY_AE_TEMP_TAO. The SQL executed below gives me a count of 4.
Therefore, I have 5 tables that could be used in my Application Engine: PS_MY_AE_TEMP_TAO, PS_MY_AE_TEMP_TAO1, PS_MY_AE_TEMP_TAO2, PS_MY_AE_TEMP_TAO3, PS_MY_AE_TEMP_TAO4

4. Retrieve all the App Engine SQL:

SELECT SQLTEXT FROM PSAESTMTDEFN AE, PSSQLTEXTDEFN S WHERE AE.AE_APPLID = 'MY_APP_ENGINE_NAME' AND S.SQLID = AE.SQLID
ORDER BY AE.SQLID, S.SEQNUM

5. Visually break apart all the SQL statements to list the tables referenced in the App Engine.

6. Review all App Engine PeopleCode to see if any references to outside tables.
