Installing PeopleSoft is a moderately complicated process. If you’ve never done it before, it will easily take a week or two. Without getting too specific, here are some thoughts on installing PeopleSoft software on a single Windows server.

 Download all of the software that you will need before you start. See my previous post [1] for information about Oracle eDelivery and license codes. You'll need to download the following software at a minimum:

  1. All of the PeopleTools CD’s from edelivery.oracle.com
  2. The latest PeopleTools patch from My Oracle Support (optional)
  3. The PeopleTools 3rd party products including BEA Tuxedo, a web server (like WebLogic or WebSphere
  4. The application CD's from edelivery.oracle.com
  5. The PeopleBooks for PeopleTools and your application  (or use PeopleBooks online )
  6. Crystal Reports, Crystal Enterprise, and the Crystal Install Guides. This is required for running Crystal Reports
  7. Oracle XML Publisher (if required for your app, it's getting more popular in the more recent releases)
  8. Oracle doesn’t make MicroFocus Cobol available, and some processes in Inventory and Ledger won’t run until they are installed. This shouldn’t keep you from evaluating the application, though.

Also before you begin, install your database software, create a small “seed” database and verify you can connect to it. PeopleSoft’s documentation assumes this much is in place before you begin. You’ll need the PeopleTools Installation and Upgrade Guide [2] for your database platform from customer connection. It is a 500+ page manual, but you can ignore the UNIX portion which is a good half. The documentation is pretty good, but there are a lot of moving parts that make it complicated. In general, the installation goes like this:

  1. Create a “seed” database and verify connectivity
  2. Install your web server of choice (Weblogic, WebSphere, or Oracle’s flavor)
  3. Install BEA Tuxedo
  4. Install Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise
  5. Install PeopleTools (basically unzip it to a file server directory which will be referred to as PS_HOME)
  6. Install the latest PeopleTools patch.
  7. Install the Application into the PS_HOME directory
  8. Edit the database creation scripts
  9. Create the application database and load application data
  10. Configure the web server, create an application server and process scheduler (batch server) domain
  11. Configure Integration Broker and other application components

The following configuration worksheet [3] might help you plan your installation.

Installation problem on 8.42
written by Raj, June 25, 2007
Hello,

I need help to install peoplesoft. My OS is XP, Oracle 9i with peopletools 8.42 and application CD EPM 8.8. I am facing on sql scripts I learn the correct order is

utlspace.sql,dbowner.sql,Pfddl.sql,psroles.sql,psadmin.sql,connect.sql

Errors are showning here it showning run rollback.sql...

Can you suggest me the correct order for this.

Thanks,
Raj

RE: Installation problem on 8.42
written by Brent Martin, June 26, 2007
Rollback.sql establishes rollback segments in your database -- some fairly fundamental functionality. I don't have the documentation in front of me, but I believe it runs after utlspace.sql but before pfddl and dbowner.

written by Brent Martin, August 26, 2007
Yes, the basic installation process hasn't changed in some time and I don't believe it's changed significantly in version 9. There may be more optional components available now as Fusion Middleware becomes more prolific but these generally install on top of the basic Database/Tuxedo/App Server architecture.

Installation problem
written by Gayathri, August 31, 2007
Hi,

I am trying to install PeopleSoft in my XP OS , SQL server 2005 , peopletools 8.48 and PSFinancials 9.0 media pack.
I sucessfully created the database , established connectivity and ran through the scripts successfully.
When im trying to "Update PeopleTools Database Objects" as mentioned in the installation document, i am unable to sign on to Application Designer . It says invalid log in id . Can you suggest me some solution?

P.s when i was running the configuration manager though the installation was completed at one point it mentioned JDEVELEOPER is missing. Will that cause any sign on issue ? please help

ThankYou
Gayathri.

written by Brent Martin, September 03, 2007
I don't think it's related to jDeveloper.

Here are some things to try:

1) in SQL Server, make sure you can connect through the ODBC connection that you set up. For Oracle, make sure you can connect via SQLPlus.
2) Verify you can log on to the database with the connect id username and password.
3) Verify you have entered the correct connect id and password in configuration manager
4) Make sure you're using the correct username and password. In HRMS Demo, log on with PS password PS. Financials is VP1 password VP1.
5) See if you can make data mover connect in "bootstrap" mode - log on as sa (or sysadm for Oracle)
6) If bootstrap mode works, you can run resetpswd.dms (in your scripts directory) that will set everyone's password back to their user name.
7) If you have PeopleTools 8.47 or older installed on the same workstation, the connect ID's Pwd might be encrypted using the old encryption algorithm. I think the fix is to blank it out in the 8.48 config manager, hit apply, then re-enter it.

How the PS Signin process works is like this:
First PS connects with the "connect ID", which has access to see PSDBOWNER (verify the database matches the connection name), PSOPRDEFN (to look up the username and encrypted password), and PSACCESSPRFL (which contains the encrypted "Access ID" password (i.e. sa or SYSADM)).

Then PS gets the encrypted user password and verifies it. Then it decrypts the Access ID signs out, and signs back on as the Access ID.

Hope this heleps.

Hi ,

Thanks for the response.

I am able to successfully establish a connection with the database which i have configured.
Able to log into datamover in a bootstrap mode.

Concern: When i query the database for the tables PSDBOWNER,PSACCESSPRFL and PSOPRDEFN it returns no rows .
I am puzzled by this. smilies/sad.gif((
Also when i configured the database i mentioned the Access ID to be PS for my financials database,..

Will this cause any log on issues? Please assist me ..

ThankYou
Gayathri.

written by Brent Martin, September 05, 2007
If those tables are returning no rows, the database did not get loaded correctly. Log on to data mover in bootstrap mode, go to File > Database Setup, and walk through the wizard to import a database.

For SQL Server, the access ID is usually "sa". I'm not sure what the implications would be of selecting PS.

written by Gayathri, September 07, 2007
I tried to Un install everything and re installed . Now the database is configured properly and all the above mentioned tables are having rows . Still im unable to log in to App designer .

Regarding the Access ID, in the installation document they have mentioned the default access id is "sa" but try to use some other id of your choice. So i am not sure where i went wrong and what went wrong. The current status is im able to log into the data mover in bootstrap mode but the app designer login is the only issue .

Can you assist me with your valuable suggestions.

Thank You

hi i am able to log in to app designer with the user id PSADMIN and pwd PSADMIN. As you have mentioned system refers to the PSOPRDEFN table for the user id i tried with this id which is there in PSOPRDEFN table and it went through .
But i am not sure why my login VP1 is not success. Your thoughts upon this!
Brent Martin
...
written by Brent Martin, September 11, 2007
Does VP1 exist in PSOPRDEFN? You can only log in with users that exist there. If it doesn't exist, there may still be problems with your database install. For instance, maybe you just installed a PeopleTools database but not an Application database...

written by Gayathri, September 13, 2007
No the user VP1 is not present in PSOPRDEFN. When i configured the Database i chose the option PeopleTools System database . This was the only option i got for selecting the PeopleSoft Application. As you said i can see only System tables in the SQL Server and not the Application tables . Can we load the application database at this stage too? if yes is there any specific dms that needs to be run for this or is there any other alternate ? Please let me know .
Brent Martin
...
written by Brent Martin, September 20, 2007
Sounds like you didn't create an application database, you just created the system database. Did you install the Application CD into your PS_HOME directory before you ran the database create wizard? A good way to check is to see if there are some very big files in $PS_HOME/data. Yes, you can install the database at this stage, but you'll need to drop the existing tables except for the ones that the DB create scripts made.

everything works fine except for the search feature!

I have enabled the Help link as specified in the installation manual, but when you click it, the following message appears: cannot be displayed because no help topic was found for the help context ID "DEFAULTHOMEPAGE". To view the PeopleSoft Online Library, click here.


i have also installed peoplebooks, and when you search for anything in peoplebooks it give you the following error:

Hi Martin,

thx alot for your quick reply,

i tried to enable the verity from the path you specified, but still the search does not work.

i know that verity is the component that is responsible for enabling the search, so i think your thinking logically,

are there any other possible checks other the one you mentioned in your last post?


but im really confused a bout the error that appears when search in peoplebooks:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

im afraid there is a problem with the Bea web server!


dont worry about missing backslashes, i got your post just right :-)

Installing Multiple Instances to same Linux Box
written by Neil Yetman, February 14, 2008
I have 2 Instances of HRMS/CS 9.0 installed on same Linux box. Linux box hods everything (DB, WebLogic, Tuxedo.) Both instances share the same PS_HOME. I have 2 Application Server domains setup and 2 Web Server sites installed. Single sign-on not set-up. I can log on to either application individually through sign on page without issue. But whenever I log in to one instance, then open another web browser window and log in to the 2nd instance, if I go back to my first instance to navigate through menu it automatically gets invalidated and sends me back to log-on page saying "Username and password is invalid. Please log-on." (Same thing happens if I log on to 2nd Instance first, and then log on to 1st instance.)

I'm not sure if it is a Web Server or Application Server issue.

Things I have done to try and fix it:
1.) Renamed Default Local Node on 2nd Instance.
2.) Specified directory for Application Server cache for 2nd Instance.

None of these have helped. Any thoughts??

Cheers,
Neil

I have installed peoplesoft HRMS & Campus solution 8.9 on windows server 2003, the instance works fine, but some functions-like student enrollment- requires compiling COBOL programs. i tried to install mico focus from e-delivery, but when i run the installer it gives me: error,bad initilization file, it seems the file is corrupted
any way, i extended my search through the net, and i managed to get micro focus.net -which requires microsoft visual studio.net 2005 and .Net framework 2.0-, i have installed it, but i dont have any idea how to use it to compile the cobol programs written in peoplesoft,,

Re: Installing Multiple Instances to same Linux Box
written by Neil Yetman, February 15, 2008
I'll give you a more complete picture!

Installing PS HRMS/CS 9.0 on RedHat Linux 4, PeopleTools 8.49, Oracle 10gR2, WebLogic 9.2.1, Tuxedo 9.1

I did the following:
1.) Installed Oracle 10g
2.) Installed WebLogic
3.) Installed Tuxedo
4.) Installed HRMS/CS to PS_HOME directory
5.) Setup/loaded database DMO1 using DataMover
6.) Ran psadmin to Create Application Server Domain DMO1 (Ports: WSL 7000, JSL 9000, JRAD 9100)
7.) Ran PIA Setup to install PIA Site for DMO1 (WebLogic, Multiple Domain) (Ports: JSL 9000, HTTP 8000, HTTP 8443)
8.) Installed PeopleBooks

Note: Up to this point has been the basic install steps as explained by PeopleSoft Install Document.

9.) Then I shutdown DB, App Server and Web Server and did Cold Backup of DMO1 Database.
10.) Followed steps to use Cold Backup files to create a clone database DMO2
11.) Ran psadmin to Create Application Server Domain DMO2 (Ports: WSL 7010, JSL 9010, JRAD 9110)
12.) Ran PIA Setup to install PIA Site for DMO2 (WebLogic, Single Domain this time instead of Multiple Domain) (Ports: JSL 9010, HTTP 8100, HTTP 8543)

I can start up everything (Database Instances, Application Server Domains, PIA Sites) with no issue. When I log on to each application individually I have no issues. But when I log to one, and then the other, I get booted out of the first (sent back to signon page with error: Your User ID and/or Password are invalid.)

Like I said above, I have tried the following to try and fix it but it hasn't helped:
1.) Renamed Default Local Node on DMO2 Instance.
2.) Specified directory for Application Server cache for DMO2 Domain (to make sure they both weren't sing the same default cache location.)

Can anybody spot anything I might have missed??

Thanks.

Hi Bahaa,
I'm assuming you're trying to install MicroFocus 5?? Did you read the Readme file included in "Micro Focus Net Express 5.0 Wrap Pack 4 Extras Install Documentation for PeopleSoft and Runtime Licenses (Read "Readme" file located on this disk for instructions) (CD)" The equivalent Readme file for Server Express (for Linux) was quite detailed. If you think your file was corrupt you could always try downloading again. (I'm pretty certain you're going to need the PS version of Microfocus. The Readme file for Linux talks about an Unlimited License Patch that PeopleSoft provides to allow the App to run the Cobols after they have been compiled.)

I'm about to try and install Micro Focus 5 on my linux box. Will let you know how I make out if you like.

Compile cobol programs produce errors
written by Bahaa, February 19, 2008
Hello, i managed to compile cobol programs, but the thing is a big list of objects are generated with errors, is that normal?

what is the next step to do? do we need to copy cobol objects from C:/temp/compile to PS_HOME/CBLBINA?

according to the install document:
After you have successfully compiled your source code, all of the executables should have been placed
in your CBLBINA directory

what does they mean with the executables?

Thank you,
Bahaa Ahmed
Brent Martin
RE: Compile cobol programs produce errors
written by Brent Martin, February 20, 2008
Errors are not normal. But they can be tolerable if they only happen for COBOL programs that you're not using. You should probably dig into it and see what error messages it's throwing. Lots of times a missing (or wrong version of a) copybook can wreak havoc across a bunch of programs.

If you use the pscbl.mak script to compile the programs, it'll move them where they need to go. But if you did it yourself you'll need to move them to whatever directory the install doc specified.

Look at http://licensecodes.oracle.com/. If you don't find it there call Customer Care (or whatever Oracle calls it these days) and they should be able to help.

While the COBOL run time comes with PeopleSoft, the COBOL compiler has always been something you have to pay extra for. Back in the 7X days and prior, PS would ship compiled versions of all of it's programs. But those days ended about the time 8.0 came out.

Brent, your comment above lead me down the right path. Thanks! It certainly came down to cookies and the Web Profile. Both instances were using the same delivered Web Profile. So this is what I did for the 1st instance:

1.) Modified $PS_HOME/webserv/DMO1/applications/peoplesoft/PORTAL/WEB-INF/psftdocs/DMO1/configuration.properties updating the WebProfile to DMO1
2.) Modified $PS_HOME/webserv/DMO1/applications/peoplesoft/PORTAL/WEB-INF/weblogic.xml setting Cookie Name to DMO1-PSJSESSIONID
3.) I logged on and navigated to People Tools, Web Profile, Copy Web Profile and copied DEV to DMO1. I updated the Cookie Rules tab to include DMO1- in the cookie name fields.
4.) And I also updated the $PS_HOME/webserv/DMO1/applications/peoplesoft/PORTAL/WEB-INF/psftdocs/DMO1/webprof/cookierules.xml file adding the DMO1- to all the cookie names here too (but I'm not sure if I even really needed to.)

Then I did the same for the second instance (replacing DMO1 with DMO2.) Restarted my Web Servers and voila! no more problems. Thanks again.

I thought of using PSADMIN OPRID for configuring the appserver this time the system didnt throw any error.
I successfully congfigured and start the app server.
Regarding login to the app designer I can do with PSADMIN but not VP1 or PS.
peoplesoft signin page also I can do with PSADMIN.
After that when I try to configure the process scheduler it is throwing me an error.

RE: Vista
written by Brent Martin, February 08, 2009
The last time I checked Windows Vista wasn't a supported platform for either the web/app or database tiers. I don't really expect Oracle to support Vista since Vista is more of a workstation tool but that doesn't mean it won't work.

App Designer and the other development tools work on Vista. I've found things work better if you start Config Manager as an administrator.

RE: Cobol compile problems

Sorry to get back to you so late -- but hopefully this response will help someone else out. My guess is that you're missing some copy books. Use pscbl.mak to compile just one program that didn't compile, then review the error logs to see what might be the problem.

Running the PeopleSoft Installer in GUI Mode
written by Neena, September 13, 2009
I am trying to install PS Financials 9.0 on MS SQL Server 2005. I am on Task 4-4-2 - Running the PeopleSoft Installer in GUI Mode

The only option I get on 'Database Create Type' is 'PeopleTools System'. I was hoping to see Demo as well. I do not want to install the SYS db. I want to install only the demo db. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

RE: Running the PeopleSoft Installer in GUI Mode

If you don't see options except for "PeopleTools System" it usually that indicates you haven't installed the PeopleSoft Financials application CD into your PS_HOME directory.

Invalid object name 'PSSTATUS' and PSDMTX Error: signon

Thanks for the above info. It was was very helpful.

Invalid object name 'PSSTATUS'

PSDMTX Error: signon

Your help will be appreciated.
Brent Martin
RE: PSSTATUS
written by Brent Martin, September 17, 2009
Sounds like the PSSTATUS table may not exist, which would indicate a problem with the scripts you used to initially create it. It could also be that data mover is using the wrong user ID to connect to the database.

BEA weblogic configuration
written by Kiran, September 18, 2009
Hello,

How to configure BEA Weblogic(Connectivity) with Oracle Database ? any documents or pointers what needs to be done?

TIA
Kiran Kumar
Brent Martin
RE: Weblogic Config
written by Brent Martin, September 18, 2009
As strange as it may seem, Weblogic doesn't directly connect with the Oracle database. Weblogic connects to the App server (running Tuxedo and administered with psadmin), and it's the App server that manages the connections to the database. Chapter 8 of "Enterprise PeopleTools 8.49 Installation for Oracle" (http://download.oracle.com/doc...ocset.html) will show you how to configure the app server (if it starts, you're in good shape), and chapter 9 will tell you how to configure Weblogic.

RE: Unable to install weblogic
written by Brent Martin, September 21, 2009
Off the top of my head I'd suggest making sure your JRE is 1.5.14 or better, your Java Home and Path points to the directory correctly, you have sufficient disk space in your temp directory as well as your target directory (BEA Home). Which platform are you installing on? Is your Operating System listed as a supported platform?

Path for connectivity program directory
written by Brent Martin, September 21, 2009
The "connectivity program directory" is the directory where your database connectivity programs like SQLPlus reside. For SQL Server 2005 it would be a directory like c: Program Files Microsoft SQL Server 90 Tools Binn, for Oracle it would be a directory like C: Oracle product11.0 client_1 BIN. (sorry about the missing backslashes, my wonderful commenting system strips them out).

If you get it wrong it's not the end of the world. You'll have a chance to fix it when you configure an Application Server and Process Scheduler -- look for the DBBIN configuration and set it correctly. Also in Configuration Manager, go to the Profiles Tab, edit the default one, click the process scheduler tab, and set the DBBIN directory correctly there too.

Edit the database creation scripts
written by Kiran, September 22, 2009
Martin,

What is "Edit the database creation scripts" in the installation steps, I am done installing the applications but don't see any PS user got created in the database, could you please explain this step in detail if you have time.

Thx
Kiran Kumar
Brent Martin
RE: Edit the database creation scripts
written by Brent Martin, September 22, 2009
The "Edit the database creation scripts" step is just to make sure the database creation scripts like createdb.sql, and utlspace.sql have been adjusted for your environment. If you've already created your database and loaded the application, then this step wasn't necessary.

The users you should have in your database at this time would be "people", your schema owner (usually sysadm for Oracle, sa for SQL Server), and if you're running Oracle I'd expect to see a PS user who probably doesn't have any permissions but owns the PS.PSDBOWNER table. I don't believe PS typically gets created in a SQL Server database.

Seed Database
written by Kiran, September 24, 2009
My understanding of seed database is just installing 10g that creates database and using data mover peoplesoft create objects in the database this is called "seed" database, if wrong please correct.

I am new to peoplesoft and learning new stuff everyday with the help of this website. How do you create seed database in windows just after creating oracle database.

-Kiran Kumar
Brent Martin
RE: Seed Database
written by Brent Martin, September 24, 2009
The "seed" database is just an empty database that you can use to verify connectivity. Oracle generally installs a sample database you can use for this purpose. But you wouldn't normally install the PeopleSoft tables into the seed database. You should create a new database for each PeopleSoft application that you install.

Running the Database Configuration Wizard

Any help on how to find or missing pieces ?
Brent Martin
RE: Database Config Wizard
written by Brent Martin, October 01, 2009
The database create wizard should be under $PS_HOME/setup/PsMpDbInstall. You create the database soon after you get the software installed, but follow the order that is in the Installation guide from Oracle. That will be more current than this article.

Martin,

Task 7A-1-8: Update Connection Information on the Server

Make sure that you add the new SID name or existing SID name to the $ORACLE_HOME
etworkadminLISTENER.ORA on the database server. Stop and start (or reload) the Oracle Net listener.

Following is the Default Entry Created by Oracle

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = Dsmilies/shocked.gifracleproduct10.2.0db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = kiran-f2c1d2ff0)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

Now I created a new SID = PSFT what should I change/add in the listner.ora as per the document.

Please Let me know.

What is database Creation type ?

DEMO

PEOPLE TOOLS Sytem.

Basically I would like to Install DEMO pre-configured system with DEMO data, could you please explain what is the difference between the above 3 ?

TIA
Kiran Kumar
Brent Martin
RE: Database Configuration Wizard
written by Brent Martin, October 04, 2009
A demo database contains all of the application tables and the demo data. A system database contains all of the application tables, but the other tables are blank except for the system tables -- use this one when you're ready to build your first PeopleSoft environments with your company data. A PeopleTools System database only contains the PeopleTools tables, it doesn't contain any application tables -- use this one if you want a PTools only environment for Performance Monitor or to serve as an integration gateway only.
Brent Martin
RE: Listener.ora
written by Brent Martin, October 04, 2009
The purpose of this step is to set up the Oracle Listener so that you can connect to the database from other machines. I'm no DBA but I don't think you need to change listener.ora if you create a new SID as long as it everything is correct in tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora.

RE: Restart Datamover
written by Brent Martin, October 09, 2009
To restart data mover you'll just need to edit the script and delete the steps that data mover has already performed. If it was in the middle of a big import, you'll need to add the SET START AFTER so that it starts importing where it left off.

REM - PeopleSoft HRCS Database - US English
