Understanding Oracle UPK and Related Content

You can configure Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK) modules and topics as component-level and page-level related content services. These sections provide a brief overview of Oracle UPK and related content and describe how to:

  • Create UPK-based related content service definitions.

  • Assign UPK-based services as related content.

Note:

In these sections, the word topic is used to represent both UPK topics and UPK modules unless specified otherwise.

Oracle UPK Developer and content is an end-user training solution that provides a single-source development and customization tool to enable rapid content creation and customization. UPK also can provide system process documentation, web-based training materials, role-based performance support, and other types of documentation.

PeopleSoft Related Content Framework is a set of PeopleTools definitions and processes that enable developers and subject matter experts to link application pages with contextually relevant content. The primary goal of related content services is to provide immediate access to relevant, contextual information for any PeopleSoft transaction without requiring any additional user effort. PeopleSoft Related Content Framework acts as an enterprise mashup, tying together all types of content such as Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) analytics, queries, discussion threads, documentation, and relevant non-PeopleSoft data into a single tool—PeopleSoft application pages.

You can use the related content framework to set up access to UPK modules and topics so that any UPK content is available at the page or component levels under the Related Content menu as shown here:
