PeopleSoft Application Update Installation
Instructions
This document discusses how to apply the update contents to your PeopleSoft application environment. The
objects delivered in this resolution update may include changes to batch files, data changes, database code
revisions and objects, record structures, or PeopleCode.
These instructions are intended for the expert technical user who is responsible for applying application changes
to your PeopleSoft system. This user should have a basic understanding of PeopleSoft systems and have
completed the PeopleSoft Upgrade and Data Management training course. Familiarity with PeopleSoft Upgrade
Assistant, PeopleSoft Data Mover, PeopleSoft Application Designer, COBOL compilers, and structure query
language (SQL) tools may also be necessary.
For the latest information on updates and fixes for PeopleSoft applications, see Customer Connection,
PeopleSoft’s online information resource. Access Customer Connection through PeopleSoft’s website at
www.peoplesoft.com.
Important! We recommend that you follow the instructions in the PeopleSoft Application Update Installation
Guide when you apply an application update project to your database. Failure to do so could corrupt your
database and cause you to lose customizations that you have made to your database.
General Information on Installing Application Updates
PeopleSoft application updates may contain database object revisions, data changes, database code revisions,
and batch file updates.
Code objects include database objects, scripts, DAT files, COBOL programs, and so on. Code objects are
generally delivered in a single archive. The folder structure of the objects contained in the archive will match that
of the folder structure on your PeopleSoft CD.
Application Update Installation Instructions
Non-code objects include installation instructions or additional supporting documents for this update. Non-code
objects are generally delivered in a single archive, but may be delivered in separate archives if necessary.
We recommend that you first install this update to your “vanilla” database (for example, xxDMO) and thoroughly
test it before you apply it to your production databases.
We recommend that you run the Upgrade Comparison report against your DMO, test production copy, and
production databases to identify any changes delivered in this application update that may impact any
customizations that you have made to your databases.
Installing an Update for Applications Using PeopleTools 8.0x and Earlier
To install an application update for applications using PeopleTools 8.0x and earlier, open PeopleSoft Data Mover
and run the script (DMS) to import the project (DAT) file into an empty, stand-alone application update database.
Log on to the application update database using PeopleSoft Application Designer and copy the project into your
target database. Apply other object changes directly into your target database using PeopleSoft Data Mover
Installing an Update for Applications Using PeopleTools 8.1x and Beyond
To install an application update for applications using PeopleTools 8.1x and beyond, log on to your target
database and open PeopleSoft Application Designer. Import the database objects using the Copy Project from
Files command. Apply other object changes directly into your target database using PeopleSoft Data Mover.

3. Detach the appropriate release archive file and save it to a default local update directory.
By default, this step creates a folder in the C:\TEMP directory for the update files. You can override this default
directory if your operating system does not use a C:\TEMP directory.
Default local update directory for this update:
C:\TEMP\UPD669613
Archive files included in this update:
UPD669613.exe
UPD669613_INSTALL.exe
4. (Optional) Create a custom update directory.
Complete this step if you must apply customizations to the objects in this update prior to applying the update to
your production environment. Instead of overwriting the original update directory, we recommend that you save
the default directory as a new directory using a suffix added to the local directory folder. This enables you to
separate and manage these objects apart from those delivered in the vanilla update.
5. Update source or batch files in your <PS_HOME> directory.
To view a detailed list of modified objects included in this update, see the Application Object list section of the
update resolution on Customer Connection or the modified objects list included in the installation documentation
for this update.
