Vote for my Session at Oracle Mix!
Written by Brent Martin   
Thursday, 12 June 2008

I just suggested the session I'd like to present at Open World on Oracle Mix.  If you're interested in the topic, I'd certainly appreciate it if you'd head over to Oracle Mix and vote for it.

It's called "Enterprise 2.0: Publishing Content from PeopleSoft using RSS", and it builds on a concept I came up with back in 2005/2006 but the market just wasn't ready (yes I'm a real visionary that way).  According to Forrester , Enterprise 2.0 projects are starting to catch on, and delivering PeopleSoft content via secure RSS feeds seems like a natural fit to me. 

Anyway here's my write-up:

According to Forrester, “Enterprise spending on Web 2.0 technologies will grow strongly over the next five years, reaching $4.6 billion globally by 2013, with social networking, mashups, and RSS capturing the greatest share.” Much of the content to make Web 2.0 hum is locked away in your HCM, CRM, and FSCM applications.

This session will demonstrate how to use existing PeopleTools technology to turn your PeopleSoft information into RSS feeds, how to leverage PeopleSoft’s robust security model control access, and how to combine the RSS feeds with other RSS content to enhance communication and collaboration across the enterprise.

During the presentation I’ll demonstrate how to publish PeopleSoft Reports and Worklist entries via RSS by leveraging PeopleCode and iScripts. I'll show how to customize the content according to the user’s access and present a couple of options for bypassing the sign in page so that they’ll work with a feed reader. Finally I'll demonstrate how to use the feeds in commonly available feed readers and in collaborative applications like Sharepoint 2007.

I appreciate your vote, and thanks for your support!

Why Production Does Not Work like Test

If you've ever wondered about why things in Production don't work like things in Test (or dev or wherever), check out this article on the CIO Blogs:

I like this quote:

No one specific organizational slice is to blame, but we are all to blame. We (both IT and its customers) are all contributors to these outcomes by actions we either take or don’t take. This would imply that responsibility for a solution lies with both parties, and that would be correct.

 
Build Read Only Perm List Quickly

If you've ever done PeopleSoft security, I'm sure you've had somebody ask you to "Set Bob up like Ann, but make sure Bob can't change anything."  Which is fine if you have the read-only permission lists to do it.  But building permission lists from scratch can be time consuming.  Here's a couple of SQL's to make your task easier.
