This presentation will cover identifying system performance issues within the PeopleSoft applications, as well as provide suggestions for tuning. One-third of the class will focus on tuning the application stack (e.g. Web and App server), where the remaining two-thirds of the class will cover identifying slow running SQL, and how this can be tuned to run more efficiently by re-coding, adding indexes, or even making database level changes. The class will attempt to be database/system agnostic, but most examples will be done on Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. Target audience is system admins, developers, and DBAs of PeopleSoft systems.

This presentation will cover how you can utilize open source tools to monitor the status of your PeopleSoft systems, identifying things such as crashed processes, domain up/down, long running processes, and others. For this session we will demonstrate how we have used Zabbix to be a one stop monitoring and alerting solution for our clients. Since we are using OpenSource tools, we are not limited to only monitoring PeopleSoft related systems - we can extend this across all business applications as appropriate.

As the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma advances its Oracle Fusion Cloud solutions, a structured project management approach is critical to maintaining stability, addressing immediate needs, and planning for future growth. This presentation will explore how a defined project lifecycle and a systematic project sizing process enable efficient handling of both day-to-day production support and new functionality development. The team categorizes projects and assesses each initiative to determine if it’s an urgent task or one that requires a formal project charter.
With the help of a centralized project management tool, workflows are streamlined and aligned, ensuring that each project progresses through clearly outlined stages. Weekly change control meetings are also integral, as they enable the team to review and authorize updates, balancing stability with adaptability. Attendees will learn how this process-driven approach maximizes the Oracle Fusion Cloud’s potential, ensuring that the Nation’s software ecosystem remains resilient and scalable to meet evolving needs.

The phrase “Continuous Adoption” with your JDE software for some seems daunting because it sounds to most people as “Upgrading”. This strikes many with apprehension and concern rather than excitement to be on the latest/greatest Oracle has to offer in JD Edwards. Norman’s Nursery will share with you firsthand how this doesn’t have to be thought of as “upgrading” but as “staying current” on JD Edwards. Norman’s Nursery will also discuss the concerns most companies have related custom objects and the project ‘cycle’ itself for these Code Current / Tools Updates versus the traditional "Upgrades”. Besides hearing from Norman’s Nursery about why they stay current, get a year-by-year synopsis of EnterpriseOne 9.2 since 2015.
