Explore Atul Kumar PeopleSoft Interview Questions Application Engine.

1) There are different types of variables in the Application Engine people code? Local variable are declared. Global / Component These variables are available while the Application Engine these are available for the duration of the program in which they

program is running. They are saved at commits and checkpoints, So they can be used for restarts. Component variables are same as Global incase of the AE. 2) What are the Different ways pass data between the steps? 1) State records One row can be passed and can have many state records. 2) Component/Global People code variables 3) Temporary records Multiple rows of data can be passed. 3) What is Prerequisite for the State record? 1) Should be either Derived work record Or SQL Table. 2) Name of the record must end in AET; this is how the system identifies the rec ord as a state record. 3) PROCESS_INSTANCE must be a key. 4) Any data types except character or numeric must not be required fields. Note: - No People code fires on an Application Engine state record. No Validation of translate values or Prompt tables are done. 4) How to read the runctrl parameters in AE 1) SQL: - %Select (EMPLID) Select EMPLID from PS_AERUNCONTROL where PROCESS_INSTANCE = %PROCESS_INSTANCE and ORPID = %oprid 2) People code: - &SQL = Select EMPLID from PS_AERUNCONTROL Where PROCESS_INSTACNE = PS_TEST_AET.PROCESS_INSTANCE and OPRID = %oprid. %PROCESS_INSTANCE or %Bind (PROCESS_INSTANCE) can be used.

%PROCESS_INSTANCE is more efficient and faster 5) How do you execute Application Engine through Push Button? 1) CreateProcessRequest () , Schedule () 2) CallAppEngine. 6) What is the syntax for CallAppEngine? CallAppEngine (applid [, state record]); 7) What are the 3 trace parameters you can pass to your psae.exe? TRACE <trace value> TOOLSTRACESQL <trace value> TOOLSTRACEPC <trace value>

8) Which Trace option is the best place to start for general performance inform ation? - TRACE <trace value> 384 mostly used trace value.

9) What is the difference between a Trace value and Trace parameters? A Trace parameter determines which type of trace is turned on. A Trace parameter determines what type of data is recorded in your trace files (s). 10) What are the 3 common ways to pass a trace parameter and value to your prog ram psae.exe? Configuration manager, Process Definition, Command prompt. 11) What are the Different types of Application Engine? Standard: Standard entry-point program. Upgrade Only: Used by PeopleSoft Upgrade utilities only. Import Only: Used by PeopleSoft Import utilities only Daemon Only: Use for daemon type programs.
