Setting PUM Source Options

The PUM Source Options page is used to define the PUM source as well as managing the Customization Repository, Test Repository and Migrating Customer Data.

Note:

When Change Assistant is installed as a part of the PeopleSoft Update Image DPK, the PUM Source database is defined in Change Assistant.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the PUM Source Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
