Working with Record Suites

PeopleSoft delivers three predefined record suites: 001, 002, and 003. Record suites are a group of temporary tables with the same temp table append for processing instances of an application engine. In order for your jobstream to run, you must associate record suites with the jobstream ID. You can also create new record suites and add them.

This topic discusses how to:

Create new record suites.
Set up record suites.
Associate record suites with a jobstream.
