Yesterday was the Upper Midwest Regional User Group meeting for PeopleSoft and JD Edwards. I attended some good presentations on AWE and real time integration between PeopleSoft and the cloud.
AWE (Approval Workflow Engine) is more than a new name for Workflow. It's a new process where the events are entered on-line instead of in the App Designer. There are delivered processes for Time & Labor 9.1, TAM, and for some of eProfile. There's a new process for delegating approval work to proxies. And in multi-step approvals, there is now a send-back to send it back one step.
During the technical break out session, I got the impression that PT8.52 will be out soon. The PeopleSoft guy wouldn't say anything concrete, but he had info from the release notes. Also during that session, I asked about a couple of our current issues, but no one else had run into these problems. More on them later.
