Quiz time again.

Usually, I get mails asking for PeopleSoft Questionnaire.
I will try to make set of Questions and Answers as and when possible so that I can build a database.
I am posting the answers which I think might be right. If you think its not, please send the corrections with proper comments to harshagatt@gmail.com.
I will do the needful :)

1. PeopleSoft reserves ALL WinHelp context numbers (in Utilities, PeopleTools Options) up to which number?
a) 10,000,000
b) 12,000,000
c) 14,000,000
d) 16,000,000
e) 18,000,000

2. You just finished customization work that involved the creation of many new objects. You must now migrate these objects from your development database (source) to a testing database (target) to conduct more elaborate testing.
Referring to the above information, why would adding your objects to a Project streamline the migration to a new database?
a) Projects do not copy the actual objects, but only the Project Definition. You must still migrate the objects individually.
b) Projects automatically overwrite the same objects in the target database and, thus, reduce the need for consistency checks.
c) Migrating projects automatically produces a comparison report of the objects in the Project and those same objects in the target database.
d) Projects enable migration of individual objects only which ensures you do not overwrite objects in the target database unknowingly.
e) Projects provide the ability to migrate all objects at once or each object type individually.

3. PeopleSoft has its own naming convention for system and non-system (application) tables. In the list below, RECORDNAME refers to the name of any table or record.
