Stat for PeopleSoft
Automate IT change management to support DevOps and achieve compliance.
You’re under increasing pressure to deploy application changes faster than ever. But manually managing and reporting on changes is tedious and inefficient. It also increases risk and makes it harder to comply with regulations. What if you could automate IT change management? With the right change management tools, you’ll save time, strengthen compliance and support your DevOps initiatives.
With Stat® for PeopleSoft, you can streamline and automate IT change management from end to end, eliminating roadblocks to faster release cycles. This change management tool makes it easy to quickly deploy patches and platform upgrades without overwriting customizations. You can also deploy file objects 15 times faster than with Change Assistant, manage proprietary object versions and files, bundle PeopleSoft and file objects in the same request and use Stat with your existing version control software. Achieve your compliance and DevOps goals, while gaining more time for innovation, with Stat for PeopleSoft.

Features
Off-hours code migrations
Avoid business interruption by scheduling code migrations after hours, without manual intervention.
Support for third-party version control software
Archive and migrate objects from SVN, CVS and PVCS.
Custom reports
Customize reports with unique requirements, such as global parameter definitions, additional fields from SQL queries and style preferences.
Pre- and post-migration steps on distributed environments
Determine and complete both pre- and post-migration steps on distributed databases from the window that comes up after a migration.
Pre- and post-migration steps on mass migrations
Quickly complete the steps directly from the mass migration wizard, instead of opening each CSR.
Pre- and post-migration steps for custom commands
Use automation to quickly complete steps and run custom commands with business rules.
Dev tools integration
Take advantage of REST Web Services API for third-party applications.
Customized migration order
Determine the migration order in the mass migration wizard for automatic CSR moves.
Automated patching
Avoid manual errors and concentrate on more critical activities by automating and enforcing predetermined and optimized change processes.
Impact analysis
Simplify testing with in-depth analysis of change impact on instances. Understand the influence object modifications and patches have on other objects as they migrate through the change management process.
Software version control and rollback
Archive any combination of objects/files in each version as you capture an unlimited amount of interim application versions or “snapshots.” Use selective retrieval and rollback by object/file.
Workflow for project and process management
Centrally manage and maintain control over a variety of activities (through the Stat client for the web or for Windows). Monitor all issues, automate change processes, organize tasks by project, assign status requirements and deliver automated approval authorization.
Regulatory compliance management
Lock out and audit unauthorized application changes to ensure compliance. Enforce change policies by workflow, role-based security rights and audits of any changes to the underlying business logic. Get compliance-related reports that help you achieve compliance objectives.
Support for PeopleSoft Unicode databases
Support the locking, archiving and migration of all PeopleSoft Unicode data.
Stat was a good choice because it put approval systems into place and does a good job of communicating what’s going on. We didn’t have an official process before, and now that’s all locked down.
With Stat, the ability to report and confirm to outside auditors that we are following process is immeasurable. You can’t quantify the ability to comply – it’s like trying to quantify the ability to stay in business.
Implementing changes was completely manual, cumbersome and time-consuming. With Stat, the entire process is now automated and reliable.

- Database connectivity
To create a successful connection, the architecture (bitness) of the database client/driver must match the architecture (bitness) of the Stat Client.
