PeopleSoft HCM PUM 52 lets you limit file attachments in transactions. Improve system efficiency and data compliance with the enhanced Attachments Framework.
Efficient document management is essential in Human Capital Management (HCM), particularly when handling sensitive employee data. With the PeopleSoft HCM PUM 52 release, Oracle has enhanced the Attachments Framework by introducing new configuration settings. These updates enable administrators to restrict the number of attachments and define maximum file sizes for specific transactions. This improved control helps organizations maintain data integrity, optimize system performance, and ensure compliance with internal policies and regulatory standards.
In PeopleSoft, you can now set limits on how many files users can attach to certain transactions, like life events or health and safety records. On the Configure Keys page, two new options are available:
These settings apply to all types of files uploaded for that transaction.

You can set more specific attachment limits on the Maintain Definitions page. For example, events like marriage or birth have their own attachment types.

When you upload a file, the system checks if it meets the attachment size and count limits.
This explains how the HCM Attachment Framework controls file uploads based on the configured limits.

Discover how the enhanced Attachments Framework in PeopleSoft HCM PUM 52 delivers tangible business value. From optimized storage to improved compliance, these benefits streamline your HCM operations.
By setting limits on both the number and size of attachments, organizations can significantly reduce unnecessary data accumulation within the PeopleSoft HCM system. This not only conserves storage space but also streamlines data retention, helping IT teams manage databases more efficiently. Optimized storage directly contributes to reduced infrastructure costs and better scalability for future data growth.
Large or excessive file uploads can lead to system lags and longer page load times. With PeopleSoft HCM PUM 52’s ability to restrict attachment uploads, the system handles fewer and smaller files, which results in faster transaction processing, improved page responsiveness, and an overall better user experience across the HCM platform.
Controlling attachment uploads helps prevent the addition of unverified or sensitive files that may not comply with organizational or regulatory standards. These restrictions support robust data governance practices and reduce the risk of non-compliance with data privacy laws such as GDPR or HIPAA, especially in HR and payroll-related transactions.
Allowing unrestricted file uploads can lead to inconsistent and irrelevant data being attached to employee records or HCM events. By enforcing clear limits, organizations ensure that only the most relevant and required documents are uploaded. This improves the quality and consistency of data stored in the HCM system, making future reference and audits more effective.
When each transaction includes only the essential number of attachments, HR managers and auditors can more easily review, verify, and approve the documents. This streamlined review process reduces manual effort, speeds up audits, and ensures transparency in employee-related documentation.
The PeopleSoft HCM PUM 52 update empowers organizations to take greater control over file attachments by introducing configurable limits on file size and count. These enhancements not only improve system performance and data storage management but also support compliance and streamline HR workflows. By leveraging these new features in the Attachments Framework, businesses can ensure more efficient, secure, and policy-aligned HCM transactions.
The PeopleSoft HCM PUM 52 update introduces powerful enhancements to the Attachments Framework, allowing organizations to take precise control over file uploads. With the ability to restrict the number of attachments and set file size limits, businesses can now improve data governance, enhance system performance, and ensure compliance with organizational policies.
These features are especially critical in HR operations, where managing sensitive employee documents efficiently is a top priority. By implementing these controls, you not only reduce storage overhead and streamline workflows but also simplify audit processes and reduce the risk of non-compliance.
Don’t miss the opportunity to leverage these new capabilities. Whether you’re a PeopleSoft administrator or HR leader, configuring your attachments framework can lead to immediate performance and compliance benefits.

The Attachments Framework in PeopleSoft HCM allows users to upload and manage files related to HCM transactions, such as life events or safety records. It supports secure, organized documentation within the system.
PeopleSoft HCM PUM 52 introduces options to restrict the number and size of attachments per transaction, helping organizations manage storage, performance, and compliance more effectively.
You can set attachment limits through the Configure Keys page in the Attachments Framework. This allows administrators to define a maximum number of files and size per attachment.
When users reach the defined attachment limit (number or size), the Add button is disabled, preventing further uploads. This ensures only permitted files are accepted in the system.
Yes. Specific attachment limits can be set on the Maintain Definitions page for individual transaction types like marriage, birth, or safety incidents—unless global limits are already set via Configure Keys.
Restricting attachments helps improve system performance, reduce storage costs, maintain data quality, and ensure compliance with internal and external data governance policies.
No. The new limits only apply to future uploads after configuration. Existing attachments remain in the system unless manually removed or restricted through additional policies.
By limiting excessive uploads, HR professionals and auditors can review employee documentation more efficiently, ensuring cleaner records and faster audits.
