Is there a release schedule for Upgrade Source images?
The PeopleSoft upgrade developers responded to this question recently. Their answer:
You will find the Upgrade Source is released within 1-2 weeks after the new certification. Meaning, when the revised upgrade template is available.
Example:
Currently there is a HCM 9.1 to 9.2 Image 9 upgrade source image, built on PTools 8.54.03.
As of today's date, the PeopleSoft Human Capital Management Upgrade Home Page (Doc ID 1959519.2) does not have a tab for a new, additional upgrade such as one 9.1 to 9.2 Image 16. So we would know that the upgrade source image for such an upgrade is not available. If there was a tab for this upgrade, then one would look at the Upgrade Path Certification section of that doc's tab, and check the PTools release...we expect that this will be on PT 8.55 fyi.
