Reviewing and Managing Content Reference Label Updates

The Review Navigation Search Updates utility enables you to review content references applied to your target environment and compare the new label, description, and keywords with the original. You can also manage which labels you wish to apply to your production environment.

Content reference information displayed in the utility originates from the staging table PS_EOPR_PRSMCR, which exists in the target environment. You can filter the information you want displayed in the utility based on content reference object name, content reference parent folder, object owner, and bug number.

The Review Navigation Search Updates utility also provides a Process Flag to help manage which labels are applied to your production environment. If you do not want to apply the new labels to your production environment, you can set the flag to No. Please note that updating the Process Flag alone does not change the content references in your target environment. To implement the changes, you must re-run the Data Mover script that exports the PS_EOPR_PRSMCR, staging table data in PeopleSoft Change Assistant. The path to this step in Change Assistant is: Execute File References > Execute DMS > Running DataMover UPD*_ECRF.DMS.

When you re-export the staging table data, it creates a data (DAT) file that becomes the source when you apply the update in a subsequent pass using Change Assistant.

Follow these steps to implement content reference changes in your production environment:

1. Access PeopleSoft Change Assistant > Change Package Settings.

   Use the Apply Type section to indicate which pass you are processing (Initial Pass, Subsequent Pass, or Move to Production).

2. Use Initial Pass to apply the update to your development environment.

   The final step in the initial pass process creates a modified change package that includes all your customizations.

3. Use Subsequent Pass to apply the modified change package updates to additional target databases at the same maintenance level. Re-run the Data Mover script that exports the PS_EOPR_PRSMCR, staging table data in PeopleSoft Change Assistant. The path to this step in Change Assistant is: Execute File References > Execute DMS > Running DataMover UPD*_ECRF.DMS.

4. Use Move to Production to apply your updates to the Production database.

For more information about Change Assistant, see the topic 'Applying Change Package' in the PeopleTools Change Assistant and Update Manager documentation.

Use the Review Navigation Search Updates page (EOPR_REVIEW) to review updated content reference labels, and manage which labels you wish to apply to your production environment.
