I was putting a Campus Solutions Bundle on a system for a client and as per usual PeopleSoft delivered an emergency ISIR patch to follow up.  However, this time when I went to apply the ISIR patch after the fact Change Assistant was complaining that the pre-requisite bundle was not applied yet.  Now I know my memory is bad, but it was just the other day, I know I put the patch on this environment.

First, I thought cache, so I stopped all the agents and all the environments cleared the cache and reset the PSEM Agents & Hub.  Fired it back up and still the same error.  I even reset the GUID on PSOPTIONS.

I checked the PS_MAINTENANCE_LOG and clearly the update I put on is there, however, it looks a little different on one of the fields for other bundles.  The FIXOPRID for the bundle was PS and not PPLSOFT like the other bundles.  Sure enough I did a

UPDATE PS_MAINTENANCE_LOG SET FIXOPRID = ‘PPLSOFT’ WHERE UPDATE_ID = ‘{CSBundle##}’

Re-ran the check and sure enough all is right in the world again.  All pre-requisites need to have the FIXOPRID be PPLSOFT otherwise things don’t go as planned.

Oracle decided to integrate PeopleSoft patching into their main database for patch fix, and in the process the commonly used Update ID, has been change to be associated with what I call the Bug Incident, but they are referring to as the Patchset in ARU.

The ARU is Oracle’s Automated Release Update system and has gone by various other names.  Since I maintain a few patch lists I have some serious updating to do, but at least they made some nice documents to show the old and new numbers.  The new system appears to be clunky and difficult to to use like all new patch systems in the past.  Hopefully it will get easier to use and understand with some more use.  Good luck!

Here is the list for the Campus Solutions 8.9 & 9.0 Campus Bundles:
