The UCPath PUM Upgrade
The UCPath PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) Upgrade is a project owned by the UCPath Center (UCPC) and University of California Office of the President (UCOP) that aims to bring UCPath to the current version of the Oracle PeopleSoft HCM application. It will introduce UCPath enhancements with minimal user-impact and is expected to be completed in December 2021.
The PUM upgrade was successfully completed and went into production on Monday, December 13, 2021. Read all the details in our latest PUM announcement.
