Utilizing Related Content to Convert Customizations to Configurations in a PUM Application Update

BIDMC utilized the Related Content Framework and the Page & Field Configurator to eliminate customizations to delivered PeopleCode events and pages during our most recent HCM patching project for PeopleTools 8.55 to 8.56 and PUM Image 16 to Image 26. We were able to convert ten separate customizations to delivered objects into delivered configurations, which removes them from future compare reports and retrofits. These tools will be used for every future PUM Image application to provide continuous reduction of customization impact, with the end goal being elimination of custom code on delivered objects.

Objectives:

  • Showcase how the Related Content Framework – Event Mapping can be used to convert customizations to configurations.
  • Share the limitations and lessons learned using the Page and Field Configurator in retrofitting customizations.
