PeopleSoft Data Mover Security
The Data Mover allows for total manipulation of data within PeopleSoft. You can use it to transfer data among PeopleSoft databases, regardless of operating system and database vendor. To state that Data Mover scripts need to be carefully secured is an understatement – the security of Data Mover scripts and activities must be HIGHLY secured.
When performing a PeopleSoft security audit Integrigy carefully reviews Data Mover scripts and activities. If you want to look today at your environment, locate where Data Mover scripts are being stored. The location should be secured to only those with privileges to use Data Mover. Ideally, a source code control tool should be used to store and secure Data Mover scripts.
