Creating Groups

Quite often, you may need to execute a group of Mass Change definitions in series. Mass Change functionality makes it possible to define groups of definitions and execute them all using one run control ID.

You define groups using the Mass Change Group page.

Like types and templates, each group must have a single PS Owner. This designates from which PeopleSoft system the mass change group originates.

The Mass Change Definition field identities the definitions in the group. You can add as many as you like. Each one should be assigned an Execution Sequence number, which determines the execution order.

To create a group:

1. Select Use, Mass Change Group, Add.

   The Mass Change Group page displays.

2. Assign a PS Owner, and add Mass Change Definitions to the group.

   To add a definition, place your cursor in a definition field and click the add new row button.

3. Assign Execution Sequence numbers to each definition.

   These numbers determine the order of execution.

4. Click the Save button to save the group.
