Working with User Exits
User exits are an optional feature that can add PeopleCode and AE sections to regular Time and Labor processing. When you write user exits, add AE sections to the AE program TL_TA_RULES. Use all the AE constructs supported by PeopleTools (SQL, PeopleCode, looping constructs like Do When, Do While, and so on).
Once the user exit Rule is coded and saved in the TL_TA_RULES program as a separate section, you must save that rule online as a user exit, so that the definition is recorded in the rules repository. You can only utilize the rule, and attach it to a Rule program after performing this step. To save the user exit rule online in the TL_RULE_DEFN table, navigate to . Add a new rule , and select the user exit field. The prompt for the required AE section name present your AE section name, because it is already saved in App Designer in TL_TA_RULES.
Note: If you create AE sections, they must have eight-character names. This is a PeopleSoft Application Engine requirement.
Note: Have adequate Application Engine and PeopleCode training before creating AE sections.
