At a prior employer I did daily exports of the metadata of all Peoplesoft databases ( Financials, HR, Student Admin ) which I could use to create a database without transaction data. Modeled after the old AUD databases. A few times that came in handy to recover code the developer failed to save to file-based projects when a development database was refreshed. No need to have a full clone for just the metadata.

Sure is. What I'd like to see is Peoplesoft HR for example install all its metadata in another schema than PSMAN. Then it's a simple matter of cloning the schema for simple code checks and testing. Much better than 25000 tables... Unfortunately, I still have to see one single Peoplesoft installation - all the way to Peopletools 8.4.10 - where that is the case. Most unfortunate. But it makes for a great test of the backup/cloning mechanism! Can't complain. ;)
