The PeopleSoft plugin package-based project allows for deploying customization File type objects. Customization file type objects model files that are stored in SCM. They are used to copy files from an SCM to a filesystem on an endpoint or from PEOPLESOFT to a filesystem. Customization file objects can be sourced only from either SCM or PEOPLESOFT.

Sub-folders to the final target location of the file are created by the plugin as long as the endpoint user has sufficient privileges.
