Summary
Q/A
4. How We Got Here PeopleSoft HRMS 7 (1997)
PeopleSoft released Student Administration (SA)
SA was installed on top of the HCM application
PeopleSoft HRMS 8.9 (2004)
SA was more fully integrated with HCM via the Person Model
Student Administration renamed Campus Solutions (CS)
PeopleSoft HRMS 9.0 (2006)
Last version in which CS and HCM are jointly installed
Oracle will not release CS major upgrades moving forward
CS enhancements will now come through Feature Pack releases
5. How We Got Here PeopleSoft HRMS 9.1 (2009)
HCM is now a stand alone application
All CS portal registry entries are removed
Issues that Lead Up to the Split
Product management issues
Bundle release related issues
Increase in upgrade complexity
Greater flexibility, scalability & setup options
6. Urgency Extended Support for PeopleSoft 8.9 is expiring
Oracle supported upgrade path from HRMS 8.9 to 9.0 expires Dec 2012 Oracle HCM 9.0 premier support expires 12/31/2011.
However, PeopleSoft clients have until 12/31/2012 before being assessed a fee for extended support.
Extended Support expires 12/31/2014.Oracle HCM 9.0 premier support expires 12/31/2011.
However, PeopleSoft clients have until 12/31/2012 before being assessed a fee for extended support.
Extended Support expires 12/31/2014.
7. What is “the Split” Stand up new application stack (PRD, DEV, TST, etc.)
Copy HCM onto the new stack
Designate new stack as either CS or HR
Remove HR access from portal registry in CS
Remove CS access from portal registry in HR (not necessary in HCM 9.1)
Integrate the separate instances
Perform data clean up, for example
Remove paycheck data from CS
Remove student financials data from HCM

12. Integrating CS and HCM Oracle delivered integrations
CS 9.0 Bundle 19/Feature Pack 4
HCM 9.0 Bundle 14
HCM 9.1 Bundle 3
A few included integrations
Person data – Keep person bio/demo in sync
Workforce Admin - Keep HR job data in sync in case CS business processes require knowledge of this information
Person configuration data
13. Delivered Integration Example Let’s focus on Person bio/demo data
Oracle delivers functionality to keep the following data in sync
Personal Data
Disability Data
Citizenship/Visa Data
POI Data
14. Records Included
15. Integration Steps Determine if integration is needed - Is it important to have a single EMPLID for a person across your institution?
Determine Integration Points - Is there data in CS and HCM that should be kept in sync?
Person data is usually a requirement
Other integration points are determined by business processes and/or fit gap analysis
Determine Integration Option to be Implemented
Implement Integration
If your business processes and data governance policies on campus are such that the various systems of record, HRMS, CS, etc., already operate independently with no need or desire to synchronize records or create a single EMPLID, then no integration between systems is necessary. If your business processes and data governance policies on campus are such that the various systems of record, HRMS, CS, etc., already operate independently with no need or desire to synchronize records or create a single EMPLID, then no integration between systems is necessary.
16. Integration Options Distinct Owner
Owner/Subscriber
Higher Education Constituent Hub (HECH)
Delivered Bi-Directional
17. Distinct Ownership Utilize External Search Match
Introduced in HRMS 9.0 Feature Pack 4
Ability to use Search Match functionality across applications
CS and HCM data will not be kept in sync through delivered integration
Main purpose is to ensure one EMPLID per person
Simplest Solution
18. Distinct Owner Example
19. Distinct Owner Considerations HCM and CS own their own data - No need to set up and maintain governance policies
HCM and CS will not encounter material business process changes
Eliminate need for IT to support additional message-based integration
Is a good option if keeping data synced between CS and HCM is not a requirement
20. Owner/Subscriber Either HCM or CS is defined as the point of entry for Person data and becomes the “Owner”
The other system becomes the “Subscriber”
All Person data will be added, updated, and deleted within the Owner system
The Subscriber system will be kept in sync via published updates from the Owner
Oracle recommends CS as the owner, but is up to each institution
21. Owner/Subscriber Example
22. Owner/Subscriber Considerations Reduces likelihood of creating duplicate records
Provides a consistent Person record across CS and HCM
Ensures the creation of a single EMPLID per person
PeopleSoft ships with all the integration tools in order to sync, no additional software will be needed
Business Processes for person data entry, including self service, will change for the subscribing system
Navigation from subscriber system to owner system can be set up through the portal registry to avoid logging into two different systems
23. Higher Education Constituent Hub (HECH) HECH is a separate application and database
CS and HCM will publish changes to HECH and subscribe to HECH for updates
HECH becomes the golden source for Person data
Provides bi-directional data syncing, allowing CS and HCM the ability to update Person data in either system
If your institution has many entry points for person data (not just CS and HCM), HECH should be considered
24. HECH Example
25. HECH Considerations Provides bi-directional data syncing causing minimal impact on existing business processes
Provides the most comprehensive solution for managing Person records
Provides a concrete source for the golden Person data
Enables a consistent Person record across all enterprise applications
Includes other capabilities such as more comprehensive Search Match function and optional address cleansing
Requires additional software license purchase
Requires additional infrastructure
Implementation is resource intensive
26. HECH Considerations
27. Delivered Bi-Directional Utilizes delivered PeopleSoft integration tools
Integration Broker
Service Operations, Messages, and Handlers
Publishing and subscription services
Provides bi-directional data syncing, allowing CS and HCM the ability to update Person data in either system
Provides similar functionality as the HECH option…without HECH
28. Delivered Bi-Directional Example
29. Delivered Bi-Directional Considerations Provides bi-directional data syncing causing minimal impact on existing business processes
Provides similar functionality to HECH option without the cost and complexity
Delivered functionality is utilized and is supported by Oracle
30. Other Integration Considerations Assign a Data Steward for Person Data
Responsible for data integrity
Duplicate record resolution
Configuration data adds and changes
Batch Publish Process
ID Delete/ID Change batch processes
Translate Values
Many values from the translate table are utilized to track Person Data
Military Status
Visa Status
Configuration sync does not handle translate values
Two methods can be employed to address Translate Values
Update manually with careful coordination
Create a custom batch process to keep the values in sync
Compare Process
32. Additional Considerations Infrastructure – Split will require new hardware
Software – HECH requires additional licensing
Administration
Spilt will require administration of an additional application stack
Integration will require additional administration
HECH will require administration of a new application stack
