Peoplesoft report re-send content

Deploying the latest Peoplesoft image (HCM92002, Peopletools 8.53.06), and you’ll see a lot of reports not posted:
HCM92002_016
Well, fine, they’re probably not that important, but it can be fixed quite easily especially since they are not posted for one single reason, the process scheduler was started before the PIA during the deployment.

More generally, if you have a bunch of reports which have a non-posted content for a problem you fixed, you may want to avoid to go in every single process just to click “re-send Content” as below:
HCM92002_017 

Going to all and every process is tedious, so let’s try to do it with back-end statements.

First, what this “Re-send Content” is doing ? Set the AppServer in trace mode (Trace SQL=7), and we’ll see all what we need to know:

Actually 3 tables are involved: PSPRCSRQST, PSPRCSQUE and PS_CDM_LIST. We just have to update them properly as indicated in the trace file above to make the process scheduler a try to repost.

From the given below screenshot, 9 reports are not posted:
HCM92002_027 

And from the back-end, the same:
SQL> select PRCSINSTANCE from PSPRCSQUE where DISTSTATUS=4 order by 1 desc;

PRCSINSTANCE
------------
        2561
        2560
        2559
        2558
        2557
        2556
        2550
        2549
        2548

9 rows selected.

SQL> select PRCSINSTANCE from PS_CDM_LIST where DISTSTATUS NOT in ('5', '9');

PRCSINSTANCE
------------
        2548
        2550
        2549
        2556
        2557
        2558
        2559
        2560
        2561

9 rows selected.

SQL> select PRCSINSTANCE from PS_CDM_LIST where DISTSTATUS NOT in ('5', '9') order by 1 desc;

PRCSINSTANCE
------------
        2561
        2560
        2559
        2558
        2557
        2556
        2550
        2549
        2548

9 rows selected.

SQL>

Then update these tables:
SQL> UPDATE PSPRCSRQST SET DISTSTATUS = 7 where DISTSTATUS=4 ;

9 rows updated.

SQL> UPDATE PSPRCSQUE SET DISTSTATUS = 7 WHERE DISTSTATUS=4 ;

9 rows updated.

SQL> UPDATE PS_CDM_LIST SET DISTSTATUS = '8',TRANSFERINSTANCE = 0 WHERE DISTSTATUS NOT in ('5', '9');

9 rows updated.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL>

And finally, from the front-end, all are now “posted”:

HCM92002_028

And the reports are all reachable:
HCM92002_029
HCM92002_030
HCM92002_031

Of course, it won’t solve a posting problem if there is, it just tries to repost. But in such a case, useful to keep it in mind.

I have a slightly different script to you.

insert into PSPRCSJOBSTATUS
select PRCSINSTANCE, PRCSINSTANCE, PRCSINSTANCE, 0, 7, 1, ' ', 0
from PSPRCSQUE
where DISTSTATUS = 4
and JOBINSTANCE = PRCSINSTANCE;

update PS_CDM_LIST
set DISTSTATUS = '8'
, TRANSFERINSTANCE = 0
where DISTSTATUS = 4
and PRCSINSTANCE in (
select PRCSINSTANCE from PSPRCSQUE
where DISTSTATUS = 4);

update PSPRCSRQST
set DISTSTATUS = 7
where DISTSTATUS = 4
and exists (
select 1 from PS_CDM_LIST C
where C.PRCSINSTANCE = PSPRCSRQST.PRCSINSTANCE);

update PSPRCSQUE
set DISTSTATUS = 7
where DISTSTATUS = 4
and exists (
select 1 from PS_CDM_LIST C
where C.PRCSINSTANCE = PSPRCSQUE.PRCSINSTANCE);

This only updates the Dist Status if the content has not been removed, and also accounts for Jobs.

I have a feature in my Chrome/Firefox extension that has a 1 click repost on the Process Monitor page. In the past I had a one click option to repost all unposted content which has yet to be reimplemented.

Can some one tell me what ii the role of PSPRCQUE. I don't find much information about it when i look at the Process Scheduler Architecture they mentioned only about the PSPRCSRQST table.

Hi - if I hit re-send content on the JOb, its starting another process within in the JOb. is that normal? I thought re-send content is strictly used for posting reports to report repository.

thanks
Kumar
