PeopleSoft PeopleTools I Ed 1 — Lesson 2: Records, Keys, SQL Tables, Pages, Components, and User Experience

Learning Objectives

• Explain the architecture, workflow, or business purpose behind record types, keys, search records, subrecords, views, and derived work.
• Apply SQL table build, indexes, DDL, data migration, and validation and page fields, controls, grids, scrolls, levels, and properties in a controlled scenario.
• Validate outcomes and troubleshoot risks involving components, search processing, menus, components registration, and navigation.

Detailed Topics

• record types, keys, search records, subrecords, views, and derived work
• SQL table build, indexes, DDL, data migration, and validation
• page fields, controls, grids, scrolls, levels, and properties
• components, search processing, menus, components registration, and navigation

Instructor Demonstration

Demonstrate record types, keys, search records, subrecords, views, and derived work within a small employee-service component developed from metadata design through secured migration and support handoff, then capture the exact configuration, command, transaction, report, model, query, code, or process evidence that proves the result for lesson 2.

Hands-On Exercise

Implement a controlled exercise covering SQL table build, indexes, DDL, data migration, and validation and page fields, controls, grids, scrolls, levels, and properties, then introduce and resolve an exception involving components, search processing, menus, components registration, and navigation while preserving before-and-after evidence.

1. Confirm the environment, identities, inputs, dependencies, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Complete the course-specific configuration, development, analysis, or process workflow.
3. Capture settings, commands, data, outputs, logs, reports, screenshots, calculations, or test results.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and document corrective action.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the technical or business decision that must be made.
• Compare valid approaches and their security, performance, reliability, cost, compliance, and support trade-offs.
• Define rollback, recovery, ownership, communication, and evidence requirements.

Troubleshooting Guidance

Diagnose issues across record types, keys, search records, subrecords, views, and derived work, SQL table build, indexes, DDL, data migration, and validation, page fields, controls, grids, scrolls, levels, and properties, components, search processing, menus, components registration, and navigation without making an unverified production change. Separate symptoms from causes, gather evidence, test the smallest reversible correction, rerun validation, and record preventive action.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, scope, inputs, dependencies, and expected result are documented.
• The result is reproducible and supported by course-specific evidence.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, performance, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• Exceptions, rollback, ownership, and the next improvement priority are recorded.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can apply Records, Keys, SQL Tables, Pages, Components, and User Experience in a realistic PeopleSoft PeopleTools I Ed 1 scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
