(Note: Pages still have the name panels in the PeopleTools table names)

  • PSPNLDEFN — Page header table
  • PSPNLFIELD — Page controls

    3. Another great way to get a list of PeopleTools tables is to pull up the mvprdexp.dms in your $PS_HOME/scripts directory. This data mover script is used to export the complete set of PeopleTools tables from the source environment so that they can be imported into the target environment with mvprdimp.dms.

    6. It might be helpful to add the workflow engine tables. Below are the ones that I know of:

      APPR_RULE_DETL - Approval Rule Defn Details
      APPR_RULE_FIELD - Approval Rule Defn Route Cntl
      APPR_RULE_AMT - Approval Rule Amounts
      RTE_CNTL_LN - Route Control Profile Line
      RTE_CNTL_RUSER - RoleUser Route Cntl Profiles
      RTE_CNTL_TYPE - Route Control Type
      RTE_CNTL_HDR - Routing Control Type

      Note there are separate workflow engines and tables used in the Expense and eProcurement modules.

    7. Great reference! Thanks! One change - the User definition table is PSOPRDEFN, not PSOPERDEFN…

    10. If you have Oracle 10g as database, you can view the portal table with a hierarchical query.

      select level, a.portal_label, sys_connect_by_path( a.portal_label, ‘-> ‘ ) “Path”
      from PSPRSMDEFN a
      where a.portal_name = ‘EMPLOYEE’
      start with a.portal_objname = ‘CO_EMPLOYEE_SELF_SERVICE’
      connect by prior a.portal_objname = a.portal_prntobjname;
