Selective Adoption is now the process of patching and updating your PeopleSoft 9.2 instances. PeopleTools 8.55 has introduced more tools for us selective adopters. Graham Smith will demonstrate these new features and talk about how they can be incorporated into your continuous upgrade strategy. Additionally we’ll look at Oracle’s new PeopleSoft Cloud Architecture, which will help users realise many of the benefits of cloud computing.

does your target system
need to be on in order to
apply an update from the

Any PeopleTools release from
8.53.11 upwards.A

6. Q2
What version of
PeopleTools must your
Upgrade Workstation

Can the PeopleSoft
Image and Upgrade

18. Warning !!!
 Page has NOT
been customised
but is included
in project

19. 4. Some advice on handling Customisation Projects
 Only include customised objects in project
 One large project with all objects works ok
 Much simpler to loadup into Image
 However, will only tell you if the Update
contains a customised object
 A project for each customisation (typical
for many customers)
 More projects to loadup into Image – time
consuming (exportable)
 More granular view of what customisations
are affected 19

20. Discussion
• What are the obstacles to putting in place iterative
patching process ?
• Are you having technical challenges?
• Concerned about the value of Selective Adoption ?

26. Here’s how it goes….
1. You buy a server
2. It throws out warm air
3. You need power protection so you add a second power supply
4. It throws out more warm air
5. Just in case power fails you add battery backup
6. Even more warm air
7. So let’s add some air conditioning
8. But what if the aircon fails…
