What It Is

Process Definitions define the batch programs, reports, and scripts that can be executed via the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler. They map a logical process name to an underlying program type (SQR, Application Engine, COBOL, Crystal, XML Publisher, etc.) and define how it executes, its parameters, and where its outputs are delivered.

psLens allows you to browse these definitions, check execution statistics (run counts, average durations, success rates), and review their configuration.
