Setting Up Target Environment

To set up the target environment:

• Configure the Environment Management Framework (EMF) for your environment. (Optional)

  EMF is required for the file deploy feature. This feature will automatically deploy files in change packages to different servers.

  Note:

  If Environment Management Framework is not configured, the file deploy steps will be excluded from the change package and any files included in the change package will require manual deployment.

  Change Assistant 8.58 and later is compatible with EMF on all releases.

  See Configuring an Environment Management Agent

• Start the EMF Agent on the target environment.

  To verify that the EMF Agent is running, enter the hubURL into a browser. You should see a window with a message similar to this: "Sending pulse from 'com.peoplsoft.emf.peer: id 1'"

  See Running an Environment Management Agent

• Set user ID access.

  In Change Assistant, the user ID for the target database needs to have Full data admin access defined for Build/Data Admin on the Tools Permissions page for PeopleTools on one of the assigned permission lists. With the Full data admin access permission assigned, Change Assistant has access to all the build and copy options. Application Data Set (ADS) objects represent another security issue, because they contain actual rows of application data and there may be instances where this data is not suitable for compare or copy. In order to compare and copy ADS definitions, the user ID must have Full Access to compare and copy defined on the Copy Compare Permissions page for Data Migration on one of the assigned permission lists.
