ADP to PeopleSoft - Batch Processes or ADP Connection

[UKChic]

Has anyone used the ADP connection when using Peoplesoft Payroll to ADP?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I have a customer who is not very comfortable in writing several cobol batch processes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can anyone give me some feed back on your situation either way, by ADP connection or by writing the batch processes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Keep in mind when peoplesoft version 8 comes out, most of the cobol will be N/A, as VB will be replacing most of the cobol processes.<br><br>Any inofrmation would be appreciated.<br><br>Thank you<br><br>Kim Little<br>Project Manager<br>New Resources Corporation<br>Milwaukee, WI

Hi Kim,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I would double check my sources on that whole COBOL replaced by VB idea.&nbsp;&nbsp;Though I personally think that VB is a much better language than COBOL, it is going to be quite sluggish as a batch process.&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, my associates pointed out that because PeopleSoft is cross platform, VB could never run as a batch process on an IBM mainframe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have not done an export to ADP so I cannot give any insight into that issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I had to choose between COBOL and SQR, I would choose SQR everytime.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think PeopleSoft's design of the COBOL programs has been somewhat convoluted.&nbsp;&nbsp;I avoid their COBOL whenever possible.
