Learning About PeopleSoft Change Assistant

PeopleSoft Change Assistant is a tool designed to assist you in performing PeopleSoft upgrades. PeopleSoft Change Assistant operates on an upgrade Change Package template that outlines the upgrade steps to be performed. PeopleSoft Change Assistant creates the road map of the upgrade steps to be performed based on information you provide during the setup of the environment and the Change Assistant job. PeopleSoft Change Assistant then runs each step by launching programs and processes, monitoring the progress, performing the navigation needed to complete the step, and checking for errors. In addition, PeopleSoft Change Assistant displays documentation relevant to the current step. PeopleSoft Change Assistant can improve the quality of your upgrade, reduce errors, and shorten the amount of time it takes to complete an upgrade. In addition, PeopleSoft Change Assistant enables you to run certain steps in the upgrade unattended. During the unattended process, PeopleSoft Change Assistant can inform you, by email, if errors occur.
