Automatically Building Primary Job Data for Multiple Employees
When you have established your employee population in the database (Personal Data, Employment, and Job tables have been loaded), use the Primary Job Utility to automatically build primary job data for one or more employees. Run the Primary Job Utility process whenever you add a new employee population to the database through an external interface or database load (such as when implementing employee groups in phases or acquiring another company).
Note: When you upgrade your PeopleSoft database from a previous release, the primary jobs information is automatically built as part of the upgrade process. You do not need to run this utility after an upgrade unless you have added more employees to the database through an external interface after performing the upgrade.

When the utility runs, it deletes all existing data for the indicated employee population (if any) in the Primary Jobs Table. For each employee, the utility makes a new effective-dated entry, assigning the primary job designation to the lowest active employee record within a benefit record number. Primary job information is created for a time span bounded by the earliest and latest job effective dates for all jobs within a benefit record. If all jobs within a benefit record are terminated, the job with the lowest employee record is designated as the primary job.
Warning! All manual changes made through the Maintain Flags page for the selected employee population are lost, because the complete primary job history is rebuilt for each employee.
