Tools Helper is a suite of Java utilities that performs over twenty (20) upgrade tasks that are normally performed manually. Since we automate a these tasks we can perform them faster and more accurately. Please contact us for details on how we can save you time and money on your upgrade with Tools Helper.

+ Converts VB grammar to eScript grammar.
+ Adds try/catch/finally blocks.
+ Moves object destroys to finally block.

PPS Siebel SQL Playback© Changes the Game When it Comes to Siebel Database Tuning!



PPS is very pleased to announce our Siebel SQL Playback© application. If you need to test things like database parameter changes, new hardware and anything else that might change your database performance then we have your solution. No more painful recording of test scripts required. We simply record your actual SQL and play it back. Yes we know Oracle 11G has this feature (Real Application Testing) but until then while you are on Oracle 9i/10G or SQLServer/DB2 we can offer the same capability.




PPS Base Table Comparison©

PPS Base Table Comparison© (New)


Siebel upgrades present a number of testing challenges. For example how do you know that the data is correct in the new Siebel version. Often this can include testing new EIM interfaces.

There are a number of commercially available products that can perform this same task. The difference is these products are often very expensive and complex. Our solution is designed from the ground up to compare Siebel base tables and does that job much better than other general purpose comparison tools.

We just used this utility for one customer who required Create Table As (CTAS) upgrade tuning. We quickly and easily compared hundreds of columns between the standard Siebel upgrade table and the one created with the CTAS.
