Getting things done with PeopleTools
PeopleSoft uses BI Publisher Report Categories to control if a user has access to run any specific BI Publisher report. This access controls whether a user can run a report and if they can even see the report definition.
… questions about which roles and permission lists have access to a specific record can be a trip down the multiple rabbit holes.
Overriding the search record allows us to use the same component in different situations without modifying that component.
We can reuse a component for a specific user group with a targeted search record that doesn’t affect that same component with other users by attaching that component to a different menu and overriding the search record there.
They want developers to have the chance to play with the new release and see what it can do before it lands on us like a moose falling out of the sky on a Thursday night….
IsMenuItemAuthorized() is a delivered PeopleCode function that tells us, True or False if the current user has access to a specific page.
Many of these links cover basic information in different ways. Some are detailed, some are outlines. Find what works best for your learning style.
I’ve benefited so much as a PeopleSoft developer from others in the community. It’s an honor to help pay that generosity forward.
PeopleCode has two little gem functions that expand binds: ExpandBindVar and ExpandSqlBinds.
At first glance, these two functions look similar. A cursory glance at PeopleBooks show that they both expand binds in strings. Even the parameter list is the same (not). But how they are used is two very different situations and are not interchangeable.
BI Publisher enables your system to populate data on the actual PDF form instead of creating and maintaining a separate, custom versions of that form as an RTF template. The savings in time and resources can be enormous.
BI Publisher Desktop chart wizard enables designers to quickly insert charts into RTF templates.
