Hey, my IT mgr said today “To be honest, I would be hard pressed to argue that a DMS is better than a copy & paste”. Where can I find something documented to get some help???

I am not able to run Manage Configuration Set correctly. Is there any PDF related to it?

Note – This DMS Script generation function has been relocated by PeopleSoft, as of Tools 8.46, to “PeopleTools, Setup Manager, Manage Implementation Projects”
Please reference PS Case 4599647, which I filed yesterday 8/29/07.
I’m on 8.9 HRMS Tools 8.46, 8.9 FSCM Tools 8.47.
This function still seems to work under Manage Config Set, but not as smoothly – but will probably be removed from that location in the future.
Note on Setup Manager – to gain full functionality, you need to have the following Roles in your profile — PTLT_IMPLEMENTER, PTLT_INTERNAL_APPS, PTLT_PROJECT_MGR.

I’ve not got a copy of a DMS created by the Manage Configuration Set functionality to hand so I can’t say for sure, but I’d guess it would overwrite existing config. You could always edit the scripts by hand to ignore duplicates etc though, if that was what you wanted.

In a project environment, you may well have a ‘master config’ environment which you take your config data from, and this should contain a complete set of the config you need. If you have old transactional data that you are keeping, you’ll want to keep your old config in there too.

How does this work if you are migrating configs to an environment which has transactions associated with old configs?

Thank you!
