This program reads exported PeopleSoft project file (XML) and splits it into sections each in a separate folder. Selected types of sections (at the moment: peoplecode and sql) can be processed further to save their content without surrounding XML.

In order to add more sections edit psconstants.py

• add section type to the EXTENSIONS dictionary. 'flds' key includes a list of tags that contain the data to be extracted.

• INSTANCE_START_TAG, INSTANCE_END_TAG define section's starting and ending markers

• NAME_MAP contains mapping of known sections and names of tags containing key fields. These are used to determine section id and a path.

• SQL_TYPES includes various types of SQL objects used by PeopleSoft.

• CLASSES contains mapping of the value of OBJECTTYPE to the name of the type.
