Can PeopleSoft decrypt data, which is encrypted at MSS 2005 db level??

By -
The encryption and decryption takes place at the database level, and we do not need to write any special code or sql in our application to encrypt or decrypt the data when we do a INSERT, UPDATE or SELECT on that data.  The only thing that must happen is that when a table is created, it must use the ENCRYPT keyword in the table DDL for the column that is to be encrypted (PS: when app designer or maintenance/upgrades generates alter or create scripts, that these scripts will have to be manually edited to add the support for SQL Server encryption.). Once we do that, we do not have to worry about how to retrieve or place the encrypted data in the database - the encryption and decryption procedure is done by the database.  The PeopleSoft application does not need to know that a field is encrypted and nor does the application need to know how to retrieve the data and decrypt it.

Peoplesoft SFTP

Transferring a file using SFTP to specified target location: (Thanks to Jawahar who helped me in this article) A lot has been mentioned about sFTP support in PT 8.51. Below gives clear idea on SFTP. Are there any specific pre-requirements for using file transfer protocols? Yes. Though FTP can be used directly by giving the URL as a string to the peoplecode method, other protocols (ftps, sftp, http and https) require the URL to be passed as a URL identifier only. When an URL identifier is created, URL properties link on the page gets enabled. Users need to provide the URL properties specific to the protocol they are using on this "URL properties" page. The URL properties differ based on the protocol choosen. Once URL Identifier is ready, it can be used in any of the file attachment peoplecode methods just like the existing way.   What are the authentication methods supported for sftp? Password and Public Key authentication are supported.

Peoplesoft Error: All Processing Suspended: Restart OPRID=PS, RUNID=RUN01, PI=5000(108,503)

By mymithraa -
All Processing Suspended: Restart OPRID=PS, RUNID=RUN01, PI=5000(108,503) What is this about and what should be done? This error can occur when Application Engine programs are restartable and run via the Process Scheduler, and the last run was No Success - And an attempt re-run, rather than re-start will produce error as well The cause of this message is that previously this same AE program was run using the same OPRID=PS & RUNID=RUN01. It was not Successful on initial run, and now an attempt to RUN the same program has occurred, instead of an attempt to RESTART the original that failed. Whether this error Happened in Development??? This message happened while the Customer was in Development phase of this AE program. It could have happened when this AE was in Production as well. However, what to do would have completely different emphasis depending on if this happens in Development or Productions. During the development cycle, we would expect that this AE would have to run many tim
