Migrating BIP Definitions Using ADS

PeopleSoft provides Application Data Set (ADS) definitions to migrate Business Intelligence Publisher definitions from one environment to another as a project file.

For information on using Data Set Designer and other functionality of data sets, see Lifecycle Management Guide.

The following definition types can be added to projects in Application Designer:

  • BIP Data Source Definitions

  • BIP File Definitions

  • BIP Report Definitions

  • BIP Template Definitions

If the data source for the BIP report is PS Query, Connected Query, or Composite Query, then the query, connected query, or composite query definition should also be included in the project.

Note: Because BI Publisher is based on managed objects, all updates to your data need to be performed using the PeopleSoft BI Publisher Pure Internet Architecture pages, PeopleSoft Application Designer, or BI Publisher PeopleCode APIs.

See Understanding Related Language Tables, PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture Fundamentals.
