Usage Monitor Overview

The Usage Monitor monitors Managed Object (MO) data and Application Data Set (ADS) instance data accessed by users through the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture (PIA).

From PeopleTools 8.62, the usage monitoring of data is extended to the Process Scheduler and Application Engine servers.

The data collected by the Usage Monitor for managed objects such as pages, components, and PeopleCode enables administrators to more accurately understand what definitions in the database are used in their environment. This information can assist with impact analysis when applying updates or change packages. Usage Monitor information for managed objects can also be used in conjunction with the PeopleSoft Test Framework and (or) the LCM Insights feature.

The data collected by the Usage Monitor for ADS objects enables users to understand what ADS instances are most used in their environment and can assist in impact analysis of how the change package may modify any used ADS instance in their environment.

See Application Data Set Overview and Enabling Usage Monitor

You can enable usage data collection on the Usage Monitoring Options page. See Enabling Usage Monitor.
