This looks very ambitious. You're removing the cult status of Application Developer and making PeopleSoft another plain old vanilla enterprise application. It's about time too.

Regards, Jeff

It adds support for the Subversion version control system (direct commits, no client install necessary).

Glad you like it.

As for contributions to this project: it would be interesting to see ways to use it with version control systems - perhaps someone can come up with a good script (preferably one that commits the .pcode files as the user who last modified the PeopleCode).

Of course, there can be bugs; please report it when the contents of a .pcode file cannot be recompiled correctly in Application Designer.

Application Designer Menu:

Edit,Find in…

On the Find in… dialog:

Find what: ";" *
Find type: Text string in PeopleCode
Project: enter a project or scan the full database.

Important: check the Save PeopleCode to File checkbox

I typically scan the full database at least once and get about a 100 MB text file out of it. Very useful to look for examples of peoplecode functions you haven't used yet. Otherwise, I typically qualify a project name to check for left behind code in large projects when doing packaging - export from 2 dbs and compare. Or to quickly get an overview of the code in a given set of subcomponents.

At PeopleSoft, someone's written a VB real time decoder that can be called to parse the code for quality auditing purposes. That's the next step above exports.

  • the ";" search will miss single line PeopleCodes if they are not terminated with a semi-colon. Such is life - I don't suggest scanning on " ", too slow.
