If you are currently using PeopleSoft Maintenance Management and want to use the Maintenance Management pagelets in the PeopleSoft ALM Portal Pack, you must schedule and run the Update Work Order Portal Data Application Engine process (WM_PE) and Update Most Costly Asset Data Application Engine process (WM_PE_ASSET). The Update Work Order Portal Data and Update Most Costly Asset Data processes summarize transaction data in order to improve response times when viewing the pagelets. The data is stored in summary tables and is displayed on pagelets according to your personalized settings. While the Update Work Order Portal Data and Update Most Costly Asset Data process greatly improves response times for reading the data, it also imposes limitations on when changes to the transaction data are reflected in the pagelets. Changes in the transaction data are not reflected in the pagelets in real time. You must periodically rerun the process to refresh the pagelets. Oracle recommends setting up a recurring job to execute the Update Work Order Portal Data and Update Most Costly Asset Data process on a periodic basis. How often you run the collector process depends on a number of factors such as:

  • How quickly you need the data updated.

  • How much data you have in the system—the longer your system operates, the more data has to be summarized, hence the longer the data loader process can take to execute.

  • How many system resources are available to your process scheduler.
