Understanding Upgrade Projects

Before you can copy definitions from one database to another, you must insert them into a PeopleSoft Application Designer project. If you have a custom application, identify which definitions must be copied from the source into the target database. When you know which definitions you want to upgrade, specify and insert the definitions into the project.

However, when you are unfamiliar with one of the databases, you might want to populate a project by comparison—for example, when you upgrade to a new PeopleSoft application release. When you populate a project by comparison, the system compares the source and target databases and automatically populates the project with definitions that are defined differently in the two databases.
