Hi Alok,

Thanks for the help. But when i tried deploying the files using CA after changing the file type code in app designer for SQR, the file type code is getting updated automatically back to default path /%PS_HOME/sqr... i wasn't able to change the path atleast during deployment. Looks like for sqrs and cobols it wouldn't accept anyother path.

We didn't wanted to do manual deplayment..so was searchign for that option....

Thanks again!

Just a quick update regarding the deployment of the files... The best way is to deploy those yourself.. it saves a lot of time and you can run the next steps in parallel in CA after marking those steps as complete. Find the files in the change package, and copy them to the correct directories yourself.

You can open up the upgrade project in Application Designer after the step "copy project", go to 'Tools- Miscellaneous Definitions- File Type Codes' - the Paths for the various File Type Codes are specified there.

This is outlined in PeopleBooks:

"Defining the File Type Code"

Each file reference definition that you create for the project must be associated with a file type code. The file type code stores generic information that is applicable to a group of files within the same target directory.

Access the file type code definition from Tools, Miscellaneous Definitions, File Type Codes.

To define the file type code for the file reference definition:

1. Click New to access the New File Type Code dialog box.
2. Enter a file type code and click OK.
The file type code can be up to 30 characters in length. This action opens the File Type Code dialog box.
3. Enter the Path.
This notifies Change Assistant where the file belonging to this type code should be deployed. The only supported environment variable at this time is %ps_home%.
4. Enter a description for the file type code.
This field is required in order to save the definition. "

In general, most of the file type codes go to the appropriate subfolders/directories with the PS_HOME directory. Eg. for WINWORD, it would be PS_HOME\WINWORD.

The default is as follows (based on a project I looked at):

File Type Code: MAINT %ps_home%\maint
File Type Code: COBOL %ps_home%\src\cbl\base
File Type Code: CBL_UNIX %ps_home%\src\cbl\unix
File Type Code: CBL_WIN32 %ps_home%\src\cbl\win32
File Type Code: CBL_MVS %ps_home%\src\cbl\mvs
File Type Code: WINWORD %ps_home%\winword
File Type Code: SCRIPTS %ps_home%\scripts
File Type Code: CLASS %ps_home%\class
File Type Code: DOCUMENTATION %ps_home%\documentation
File Type Code: DATA %ps_home%\data

Thanks Rakesh for your reply. I've understood your point but my question is that, when change assistant deploys sqr files it puts them into /$PS_HOME/sqr directory, we want to change that path and make the CA deploy sqrs into the path we mentioned. Can we do that? Hope i am clear.

Thanks!

Hi Vijay,

You need to change the path in psprcs.cfg file. You can give alternate paths. The process will first check in the first default location and if not file not found will search in next.

Example: psprcs.cfg
[SQR]
;=========================================================================
; Settings for SQR Software
;=========================================================================
SQRBIN=D:\PeopleSoft\HRMS9\bin\sqr\ORA\binw
PSSQRFLAGS=-ZIF%PS_HOME%\SQR\PSSQR%LANGUAGECD%.INI
Print Log=N
Enhanced HTML=N
PSSQR1=%PS_HOME%\SQR
PSSQR2=
PSSQR3=
PSSQR4=
