  • PeopleSoft Timeout Problems in 8.50 – 8.52

    There have been several PeopleSoft Timeout problems that have impacted various levels of 8.50, 8.51, and 8.52.  Indications are all these problems are fixed now.  According to Oracle, the code has also been fixed in 8.50.25, 8.51.17, 8.52.07, and 8.53.  I’m sure a new problem will pop up at some point though.

  • New PeopleSoft Monitoring Tools Coming Soon

    As a PeopleSoft Admin, I’m interested in numbers.  Numbers from everything; sessions, queues, processes, load, errors, memory, CPU, IO latency… the list goes on.  These numbers tell us what is occurring in our environments.  Even better we can use them to build patterns and trends.  If you don’t know your numbers how do you know…

  • New Downloads section

  • PeopleSoft Unified Navigation with PeopleSoft Applicatations Portal / Interaction Hub

    With Portal 9.1 Feature Pack 1, which was released just over a year ago, came a new feature I finally got the chance to use. Unified Navigation. In this post I’ll walk through setting this up in one of my demo environments. Using the Unified Navigation WorkCenter makes configuring this feature pretty easy to set up. …
