Overriding Upgrade Defaults

After reviewing your project and its compare reports, you can override the default upgrade column values for any definitions by changing the Upgrade and Action values.

For example, to preserve a definition that PeopleSoft Application Designer plans to delete from the target (Action is Delete and the Upgrade check box is selected) change the Upgrade value. You can also remove a definition from the project. This does not delete the definition from the database.

Overriding defaults helps if you want to propagate deletions from one database to another.

Specifying Whether Action is Taken on a Single Definition

To specify whether action is taken on a single definition, select or clear the definition’s Upgrade check box.

When the Upgrade check box is selected, the displayed action is performed when you copy the project. If the check box is cleared, no action is taken.

Specifying Whether Action is Taken on a Group of Definitions

To specify whether an action is taken on a group of definitions:

  1. Select a group of definitions.

    Use the Ctrl and Shift keys, or select all definitions in the upgrade definition window by clicking the top, left-hand cell of the grid.

  2. Right-click one of the definitions and select one of these options:

    • Tag for Upgrade

      Select to select the Upgrade check boxes for all of the selected definitions.

    • Untag for Upgrade

      Select to clear the Upgrade check boxes for all of the selected definitions.

Specifying Which Action is Performed on a Definition During a Copy

To specify which action is performed on a definition during a copy:

  1. Click the Action cell of the definition.

    This activates a drop-down list box in the cell.

  2. Select Copy or Delete from the drop-down list box.

Remove a Definition From a Project

To remove a definition from a project, select the definition and press Del.

Selecting and Tagging Definitions for Copying or Deleting

To select and tag definitions for copying or deleting:

  1. Select the definition rows.

  2. Right-click one of the definitions and select Set Action.

  3. Select Copy or Delete.

    Your selected definition reflects this change in the Action column. When you upgrade the project, it is copied or deleted from the target database.

    You can also select Set Action for Project to tag all of the definitions in a project for a selected action.
