Understanding Update Manager Action

Update Manager Action includes the following actions:

Validate Change Assistant EMF Settings

EMF is used with the Update Manager action to identify the file servers for your target environment. If you configured the EM Hub option for your environment, use this to validate the EMF settings.

Upload Target Database Information to PUM Source

The Upload Target Database Information to PUM Source is used to upload the target database information to the PeopleSoft Update Image, including products and maintenance logs. Once the database information is uploaded, the database will be available in PeopleSoft Update Manager as a target database.

Note:

In previous releases of Change Assistant, the target information was uploaded to the PUM source when you were creating a new change package in Change Assistant or when the PUMMaintenanceLogSync step was executed in Change Assistant. The PUMMaintenanceLogSync step has been replaced by the steps SyncDatabaseInfoToPUMSource and SyncDatabaseInfoToCA.

Define Change Package

The Define Change Package option provides 2 options for defining a Change Package.

  1. Use the link provided to open a browser session to the PeopleSoft Update Image database (PUM source). Define change package definition using PeopleSoft Update Manager PIA application on the PeopleSoft Update Image.

  2. Use a standard or saved search to create the change package in Change Assistant.
