SQL Script To Get The Peoplesoft Online Navigation

October 31st, 2012 MindLeaks

As we know Peoplesoft application has many limitations in terms of user-friendliness or developers-friendliness. We also know that there is no easy way to get the online navigation of a page, record or component. So in line with this I created an SQL script to get the Peoplesoft online navigation when the page, component, record or all of the three are given. And I would like to share it to you as you may need it.

SELECT DISTINCT
Page = PNL.PNLNAME,
Component = P1.PORTAL_URI_SEG2,
Record = FLD.RECNAME,
Navigation = ISNULL(P6.PORTAL_LABEL, ”) + ‘ > ‘
+ ISNULL(P5.PORTAL_LABEL, ”) + ‘ > ‘

I wrote this poem around 2004 to 2005 (I forgot the exact date). I dedicated this to my colleague in Bais city as I set to depart to other part of the country as part of my reassignment.

Why did I titled it “I Will Never Say Goodbye”? Because I really don’t want to say goodbye to them. My assignment is fluid, so sooner or later, I am sure to come back again.

I Will Never Say [...] Continue Reading…

Weird Characters in Windows 7 – How to Fix?

September 13th, 2012 MindLeaks
Windows 7 Start Menu

A weird thing was happened to my computer few weeks ago. This was after I rebooted when a part of Peoplesoft installation require me to restart the computer. It restarted just fine but it inexplicably replaces the readable text with weird characters. It made everything displayed completely unreadable. I couldn’t pin point the culprit because I installed a number of applications before the issue appeared, but there is one application that I have my eye on, the MS SQL 2008 R2.

My first thought is that somehow the language of the computer changed. Probably from one of the applications that [...] Continue Reading…
