Learning PeopleSoft Application Engine

PeopleSoft Application Engine is a PeopleTool designed to help you develop and process high volume, background data processing in batch or online mode.

In PeopleSoft Application Engine, a program is a set of SQL statements, PeopleCode, and program control actions (that enable looping and conditional logic) defined in PeopleSoft Application Designer that performs a business process. You can use PeopleSoft Application Engine for straight, row-by-row processing, but the most efficient Application Engine programs are written to perform set-based processing.

PeopleSoft Application Engine does not generate SQL or PeopleCode – it executes the SQL and PeopleCode that you include in an Application Engine action as part of your overall program.

PeopleSoft Application Engine is designed for batch processing where you have a large (or small) amount of data that must be processed without user intervention. For example, you can use an appengine program to update hundreds or thousands of employee data rather than having to update each one of them manually online.
