While working on an upgrade, I wanted to review a project using the Web Compare Reports. The problem is that my laptop is Linux, and the reports require Internet Explorer. Here’s what I did to kind of get it to work…

Adding the PeopleTools Breadcrumbs Back
In these recent PUMs, one of the things that I miss is the breadcrumbs navigation at the top. It has many advantages over the new navigation. For example:
- Taking a screenshot documents the navigation to the page
- Navigation is quicker for nearby pages
- Reloading the page is quicker by clicking the link in the navigation rather than reloading the whole browser page
I found the breadcrumbs are easy to turn back on. Simply, navigate to PeopleTools > Portal > Branding > Define Headers and Footers. In the search, open up “DEFAULT_HEADER_FLUID”.
At the bottom of the page, in the “Style Definitions” field, paste the following CSS:
.desktopFluidHdr .ptdropdownmenu {
display: block;
}
Finally, save the page with the button near the top. After you logout and back in, you will see the breadcrumbs.

Great Link: Testing in Production
The other day, I ran into this interesting article:
OpenSource.com: Testing in production: Yes, you can (and should)
This article was written about generic software development. I thought it would be a good exercise to apply it to PeopleSoft development in specific…
OpenCOBOL Try 2
Cobol has been a thorn in my side for a long time. Working for software vendors, it’s not a given that Cobol is installed because they don’t always need to run payroll and don’t have production instances.
It’s been a while since I have played with OpenCOBOL. It’s been so long that they have renamed it to GnuCobol instead.
I’ve gotten closer so far, but I still can’t get past the database connection. Here’s my notes.
Installing App Designer on Ubuntu
It’s been a while since I have tried to install Application Designer directly on my Linux host. In fact, the last time I tried was many tools versions ago. Since I’ve been playing with a PUM again, it’s time to give it another try.
Here’s my notes:
Install Notes
I started an article with my notes on getting PUM running over 2 years ago, but I never followed through on it. Now, everything is changed, and I’m starting over.
So, here’s my notes on getting HCM PUM 22 running.
Pardon the Dust: Transition in Progress
Things might look a little different on the blog if you haven’t been back in a while. And, things might not be working quite up to par for a bit. Please pardon the dust. I’m trying to get things back in order as quickly as my schedule allows.
So, here’s what’s going on: I am moving my website to a VPS. My term at Hostgator expired, and I decided that this next year, I want to include SSL on my site and take it to the next level. Doing so at Hostgator was not cost effective in the least.
So, I am rebuilding everything on my own VPS. It’s exciting but things may be a bit rough for a few weeks. I hoping to pull together a new theme on the blog, SSL for securit/SEO, and tie it all together on a multi-site WordPress installation.
Please keep checking back and see how it goes!
