How to Edit a Message Catalog Definition – PeopleSoft

Editing a message catalog definition in PeopleSoft is pretty straight forward, simply browse to the following menu path:

PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration > Message Catalog

Enter your message set number into the prompt. Note that if you do not know your message set number you can use the following to find it:

SELECT *
FROM PSMSGCATDEFN
WHERE MESSAGE_SET_NBR = '12345'
      AND MESSAGE_NBR = '12345';
      
SELECT *
FROM PSMSGCATDEFN
WHERE MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%what your message is%';

Once you have your message simply edit the text and description appropriately then save!

How to View a Table’s Structure – Sqlite3

Just a quick post on how to view a table’s structure in SQLite3. Again, not something I’ve broken yet – more something I seem to keep forgetting. Simply start Sqlite:
chris@chris-VirtualBox:~/site$ sqlite3 -line db/development.sqlite3
SQLite version 3.7.4
Enter “.help” for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a “;”

Then enter the following: – substituting orders for whatever your table name happens to be:
sqlite> pragma table_info(orders);
cid = 0
name = id
type = INTEGER
notnull = 1
dflt_value =
pk = 1

cid = 1
name = user_id
type = integer
notnull = 0
dflt_value =
pk = 0

cid = 3
name = created_at
type = datetime
notnull = 0
dflt_value =
pk = 0

Good Luck!

View All Tables – Sqlite3

Not really something that I’ve broken (yet), but definitely something I found useful when starting out with rails – how to view all tables:

Start Sqlite3 i.e.
chris@chris-VirtualBox:~/site$ sqlite3 -line db/development.sqlite3
SQLite version 3.7.4
Enter “.help” for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a “;”

Then simply enter the following:
sqlite> .tables
carts message_recipients products taggings
categories message_statuses schema_migrations tags
comments messages store_pages user_settings
images order_items store_settings users
line_items orders stores
locations product_images sub_orders
sqlite>

Good Luck!
