Reviewing Project Data Compression Using PeopleSoft Fluid

The Project Costing Compression process enables users to compress large amounts of project costing transactional data. PeopleSoft provides organizations increased visibility into the compression process through a fluid user interface and the Projects Ready for Compression pagelet in the Projects WorkCenter. Organizations can status their projects as available for compression and simulate the results of the compression process before executing the actual compression process. The estimate helps organizations anticipate the reduction in transactional rows before the process is run.

Compression Status

Displays one of the following compression status:

  • Approved - Project is approved for compression.

  • Not Approved - Project not approved for compression. Project owner has to approve from the Projects WorkCenter page.

  • Previously Compressed - Project has already been compressed. The list of projects for compression on the Projects WorkCenter uses data stored in the materialized view PC_PRJ_TRANS_MV. The materialized view must be refreshed to view information on the WorkCenter and fluid tile. Projects with a status that is eligible for compression are included in the materialized view. If a project status is updated, the materialized view must be refreshed in order to view the project on the WorkCenter and fluid tile. See PeopleTools: Using Materialized Views.
