Target audience:

CAST Administrators

Although this extension is officially supported by CAST, please note that it has been developed within the technical constraints of the CAST Universal Analyzer technology and to some extent adapted to meet specific customer needs. Therefore the extension may not address all of the coding techniques and patterns that exist for the target technology and may not produce the same level of analysis and precision regarding e.g. quality measurement and/or function point counts that are typically produced by other CAST AIP analyzers.

Offline delivery

The possibility to use the output of an offline extraction (using the CAST Database Extractor) has been added in the CAST Delivery Manager Tool with the option Reuse existing PeopleSoft extractor output.

A batch file has been added in the extension which should be used to run the offline extraction (using the CAST Database Extractor). See Reuse existing PeopleSoft extractor output for more information.

Automated exclusion of Vanilla violations

A snapshot must now be generated for the Vanilla, just like for the Project. In previous releases of the PeopleSoft extension, only an analysis was required for the Vanilla.
Violations that were (incorrectly) reported on the Vanilla analysis/snapshot in previous releases of the extension are now filtered automatically and will not be reported. This clears a limitation that has been present for some time.

Other

The specific manual configuration of Content Enrichment tools that was required in previous releases of the PeopleSoft extension is now automatically handled by the extension and it is no longer necessary to create these tools manually.
Bug fixing. See PeopleSoft 5.1 - Bug Fix List.
