You might post to the PeopleSoft support web site.  It is used by PeopleSoft
customers to exchange information among themselves.  I don't remember the
address, offhand, but as a customer, you should have been given a few
accounts to the protected site.

Though I have not done this particular upgrade, I would doubt that it could
be done.  As you know, there are dozens of scripts/programs used to upgrade
the system.  They each depend on the system being in a certain configuration
and would probably break if something was out of synch.

Actually, taking the two steps should not be too serious a problem.  Just
take them one after the other.

Anyway, post to the PeopleSoft group.  I'm sure you can get some more
definitive answers to your question.

I too am a PeopleSoft Developer (new from PowerBuilder) and have wondered
why there aren't any News groups for PeopleSoft. Is it because of the
propriety nature of the software?

I doubt if you find a lot of information on the www.peoplesoft.com (customer
connection). The way to find out is to call support. If they say it�do it.
That has been my experience with PeopleSoft.

Richard,

Thanks for your input.  Actually, I did post to peoplesoft's "Customer
Connection" discussion group - but it appears to be fairly dead. 
Although there are some postings there, responses are rare and long
delayed....
I thought I'd see if the ole usenet still has any life.  It does,
moreso than peoplesoft's page - but not quite like it used to....

I already have peoplesoft's line on the issue - I just wanted to see
what other users think.

I don't know why there is no PeopleSoft newsgroup.  Pretty much all
software is proprietary (Oracle for example...).  Maybe we should create
one.

John,
I am a PeopleSoft Oracle DBA and I have done numerous PeopleSoft
upgrades and there are many problems that you need to watch out for. 
You did not list what application(s) that your are upgrading and that
can make a difference.  The GUI interface between 5.12 and 7.0 or 7.5 is
very different and user training is an issue.  If there were any
customization done to your current system you will have some issues on
the new functionality issues.. do you keep or over write panels,
menus...etc. This can and should be a major project if you are in
production or have done any customizations.  I don't think that I have
helped any but there are a number of considerations before undertaking
this type of task.
