Parameter Set Backup, Compare, and Migration

Parameters are the plan rules that are configured in your calculation system. When you make rules changes in your development instance, you need a stable and comprehensive process to migrate those changes to your test environment and to production. In cases when changes fail testing, you may need to restore your test environment back to a stable back-up point.

These procedures may sound straightforward but there is no delivered PeopleSoft functionality to migrate pension parameters. And the storage of these rules is too complex to handle migration manually. PensionSmart has developed a utility to migrate configuration rules from instance to instance as well as to create backup and restore points.

Through repetition, experience, and a focus on process improvement, we have developed a set of utilities that allow your development team to manage these processes with push-button ease. These utilities are built in PeopleTools and allow you execute these tasks through a simple and familiar interface.
