If you enable object merge, the following steps get enabled in Change Assistant. Run these in the order listed:

  • Running the Merge Analysis Process

  • Backing up Source Objects Prior to Merge Promotion

  • Running the Merge Promotion Process

  • Exporting Change Package MO Project from Source

  • Restoring Source Objects after completing Merge

After these five steps are run, the object merge is complete. Now, the modified Change Package is available that includes your customization.

If you do not enable the object merge, all the PeopleSoft-delivered changes will be applied to the Target database.
