PeopleSoft Data Archiving, Done Right
Archon’s PeopleSoft Connector extracts HCM, Financials, and Campus Solutions data directly from your database and lands it in open Lakehouse format (Parquet/Delta Lake). No custom scripts. No dependency on Oracle licenses after migration. No lingering PeopleSoft instance kept alive just for audit queries.
Whether you’re cutting over to Workday, consolidating into Oracle Cloud HCM, or responding to a tax authority audit from 2018, the connector handles relational table extraction, metadata preservation, and schema mapping automatically. Every record enters Archon Data Store (ADS) with cryptographic hashing, timestamp anchoring, and WORM-enforced immutability from the point of ingestion.
- Full module coverage: HCM, Financials, Supply Chain, Campus Solutions
- Incremental delta pulls for live systems before cutover
- Relational integrity preserved across payroll, benefits, GL, AP, AR, and asset registers
- Cross-application search via Archon Analyzer (no PeopleSoft licenses required post-archive)
- Database support: Oracle DB, MS SQL Server, DB2
Capabilities
Everything You Need for PeopleSoft Data Operations
High-Volume Payroll Extraction
Extract tens of millions of payroll and HR records with parallel processing. PeopleSoft's complex table structures are handled automatically: compensation history, grade progressions, benefit elections, and leave accruals preserved without manual joins.
Immutable Compliance Archive
Every record is hashed (SHA-256), timestamped (RFC 3161), and written to append-only storage at ingestion. Audit logs and notarization anchoring ensure records meet evidentiary standards for SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, and HMRC payroll audits.
Legal Hold Orchestration
Apply record-level holds on specific employees, cost centers, or business units. Prevent deletion or modification during employment disputes, litigation, or regulatory investigations without freezing the entire archive.
Cross-Application Search
Query archived PeopleSoft data via Archon Analyzer. Search employee records, compensation histories, GL postings, and asset registers using full-text and metadata filters. No live PeopleSoft instance required.
Use Cases
How Enterprises Use the PeopleSoft Connector
01 Workday or Oracle Cloud Migration
Archive the full PeopleSoft HCM record set (payroll history, leave balances, benefits elections, compensation grades) before cutover. Your new system starts clean. Compliance obligations stay fulfilled. Most common trigger: Workday go-live with 15+ years of PeopleSoft HR data that can't be migrated forward.
02 Payroll and Tax Audit Response
HMRC, IRS, and labor authority audits request payroll records spanning 6–7 years. Archon surfaces P60s, tax codes, PAYE history, and W-2 source data on demand from the archive. No need to reactivate PeopleSoft or pay Oracle for audit-only access.
03 PeopleSoft Financials Decommissioning
Preserve GL, AP, AR, and fixed asset records for statutory audit after ERP migration. Archon makes the full financial history searchable and applies SOX-compliant retention schedules. Auditors pull any posting from any year without touching the old system.
04 eDiscovery and Employment Litigation
Bi-directionally sync CRM and ERP data — orders, customers, invoices — between Salesforce and SAP with configurable conflict resolution rules and full rollback capability.

How It Works
Up and Running in 4 Steps
01
Connect to PeopleSoft
Authenticate to your PeopleSoft database backend via JDBC/ODBC. Archon auto-discovers all module tables, schema definitions, and inter-table relationships. 02
Map & Configure
Use Archon's visual mapper to define extraction scope, transformation rules, retention policies, and field-level PII masking. Templates accelerate common HR and financials patterns. 03
Validate & Preview
Run a dry-run against a sample dataset. The data quality report flags null violations, broken foreign keys, and encoding issues before full extraction begins. 04
Archive & Monitor
Execute the full extraction and track real-time progress on the Archon dashboard. Receive alerts for errors or completion. Full audit logs retained permanently.FAQ
