Maintaining Security in PeopleSoft Upgarde

In order to preserve security through your upgrade passes, you will have 3 options.

1) Low Risk - Re-enter your security changes into one of the target databases. Once this is complete, those security tables can be exported out and imported into any other upgraded databases at the same tools release using security migration reDocument:610138.1, included below.

2) Low Risk - Re-do the Initial Upgrade again. This will get the security as it is when you take the copy of production. Many customers chose this option because they are most comfortable with it. Once the initial upgrade is completed, follow the steps outlined in reDocument:610138.1 (Included below) to migrate security to your other upgraded databases.

3) High Risk -
Attention! This workaround has not gone through our formal quality regression test cycle. We strongly recommend that you thoroughly test this workaround in a development environment before applying it to your production environment.

Be sure to document this change as this workaround may be detected during your next upgrade. Because this workaround has not yet gone through our formal quality regression test cycle, this workaround will have risk.

You should only follow this option if you only want the latest operator security in production migrated to your upgraded database. Do the Initial Upgrade again, up through the end of Chapter 2 (Updating PeopleTools). You will need to definitely run the Relnnn.sql scripts, copy the projects and do the alters - but to make sure you get everything correct, it would be best to run all steps in Chapter 2. Once completed your tools release will be at the same level as your fully upgraded database that you want operator security imported into. DO NOT FOLLOW Document:610138.1 as you will LOSE ALL security delivered by the new application release you just upgraded to. To migrate your operator security, select the appropriate Data Mover script for your PeopleTools release to export and import operator security:
