PeopleTools is the proprietary software development environment that was created by the PeopleSoft Corporation. The PeopleTools consist of Application Designer, Application Engine, Data Mover, PeopleCode and various other developer tools.
Application Designer
The Application designer is the core application used to create and customize PeopleSoft applications. The following is a brief list of the functions that can be undertaken in Application Designer:[2]
- Field Definition
- Record Definition
- PeopleCode
- Page definition
- Page Group (component) definition
- Menu Definition
- Business Process design (workflow)
- Project definition
Applications can be built or customised in a development environment, then assembled into a project for migration to test and live environments.
Current and Future releases
Since Oracle Corporation acquired PeopleSoft, Oracle has significantly increased its development of the PeopleSoft tools with Version 8.54 as the current "latest and greatest" version of PeopleTools.
At Oracle's October 2006 trade show convention, Oracle stated that PeopleTools V8.49 has more man hours of development than any other version of PeopleTools ever released.
In spite of this recent effort of PeopleTools development, the future of PeopleTools is certainly in doubt as Oracle has also explicitly stated that Oracle's JDeveloper software development environment is where the future of PeopleSoft development will reside.
