Understanding the Managed Object Classes

PeopleSoft enables users and application developers to generate PeopleTools definitions for managed objects and database objects by providing PeopleCode classes, methods, and properties. Existing field and record definitions cannot be updated through PeopleCode. Therefore, users and application developers must differentiate between the field and record definitions created through the Application Designer and the definitions generated through PeopleCode. Broadly, we’ll refer to the Application Designer definitions as design time definitions and the PeopleCode-generated definitions as runtime definitions.
