Converting Feed Metadata Between PeopleTools Releases

This section discusses how to:

• Convert feed metadata from PeopleTools 8.50 or 8.51 to the current release (ad hoc conversions).

• Convert feed metadata from the current release to PeopleTools 8.50 or 8.51.

Note:

Starting with PeopleTools 8.52, feed definitions, feed templates, feed categories, and feed data types can be managed as PeopleTools managed objects. This enhancement required a change to the data structures that store feed metadata. Starting with PeopleTools 8.52, new tables were introduced to store feed metadata—specifically, tables with a PSFP_ prefix. In addition, the pre-PeopleTools 8.52 tables (that is, tables with a PS_PTFP_ prefix) are now used as staging tables for importing and converting metadata to the PeopleTools 8.52 format. Feed Metadata Table Structures provides a list showing the mapping of pre-8.52 tables to their current equivalents.
