peopletools
Currently we have people tools version 8.45 , patch 8.45.12 and CRM 8.9 system. We are planning to upgrade system. can somebody suggest or guide for upgrade version. Oracle has introduced 9.0 version we are way behind dont want to take risk upgrading to 9.00 . can somebody please guide or suggest what's benefits of upgrading system.
IMHO The latest version will become absolutely required especially if you want to retain support for Peoplesoft. Oracle will be giving guidance in the migration work
What are you looking to upgrade, Oracle DB, Tools or the Application? The title of the thread is asking about PeopleTools, but you mention version 9, and this could reflect a question of Oracle 9i or CRM 9.0.
I don't think 9.0 adds a lot of extra features over 8.9, and they should continue support for 8.9 for some time. Also, an Application upgrade will take a lot of time and resources. Ours, from 8.4 to 8.9, took a team of 12 over a year, but then again we are very customized.
Tools is currently at 8.48, although I would avoid it until they get another patch or two released for it. 8.47 should be fine for now. We are at 8.46 and have only minor issues that you should not have if you are on Oracle DB.

Can you refer any articles where there is detail explantation of CRM 8.9 and 9.0 features.
People tools we are way behind ...can we upgrade people tools version from 8.45 directly to 8.48 or 8.47 . We used SQL as database.
