You need to check the structure of PSOPRDEFN, find which pages reference a specific record, or look up a Message Catalog entry. So you open a remote desktop session to the App Designer VM, wait for it to connect, launch App Designer, wait for it to load against the database, navigate through menus, and eventually find what you need. Then you do it again. And again.</p>https://pslens.com/docs/use-cases/ai-enablement/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pslens.com/docs/use-cases/ai-enablement/<h2 id="the-problem-peoplesoft-is-a-black-box-to-ai">The Problem: PeopleSoft Is a Black Box to AI</h2> <p>PeopleSoft hides its source code from the filesystem. Object definitions live in a relational database, not in files. PeopleCode is embedded in the runtime, not on a filesystem where tools can read it. There are no Git repositories, no IDEs with language server support, no standard ways to extract metadata programmatically.</p> <p>This means AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot cannot see your PeopleSoft system. They have general knowledge of PeopleTools concepts, but they have no way to read your specific records, your PeopleCode, your component structure, or your security configuration. You cannot point an LLM at your PeopleSoft environment and ask it to help.</p>https://pslens.com/docs/reports/objects/objects-customized-inventory/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://pslens.com/docs/reports/objects/objects-customized-inventory/<div id="pslens-context-panel" class="card border-info mb-4 d-none"> <div class="card-header bg-light text-info py-2 fw-bold d-flex align-items-center border-bottom border-info-subtle"> <i class="bi bi-info-circle-fill me-2"></i> <span>Tailored Operational Context</span> </div> <div class="card-body p-0"> <ul class="list-group list-group-flush"> <li id="row-db" class="list-group-item d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between py-2 d-none"> <strong>Target Database:</strong> <span id="ctx-db" class="badge bg-secondary font-monospace">&mdash;</span> </li> <li id="row-type" class="list-group-item d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between py-2 d-none"> <strong>Context Type:</strong> <span id="ctx-type" class="badge bg-light text-dark border font-monospace text-uppercase">&mdash;</span> </li> <li id="row-severity" class="list-group-item d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between py-2 d-none"> <strong>Alert Severity:</strong> <span id="ctx-severity" class="badge">&mdash;</span> </li> <li id="row-time" class="list-group-item d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between py-2 d-none"> <strong>Triggered Time:</strong> <span id="ctx-time" class="text-muted small">&mdash;</span> </li> <li id="row-details" class="list-group-item py-2 d-none"> <strong id="label-details" class="d-block mb-1">Firing Context:</strong> <code id="ctx-details" class="d-block p-2 bg-light border rounded small" style="white-space: pre-wrap;
