  • PeopleSoft Test Framework: Process.Run

    The Basics: Process.Run is a great feature of the PeopleSoft Test Framework.  Using this option wraps the running of a process up into just a few easy steps making the test script a lot easier to maintain.  In this post I use a Object Type dot Action notation which corresponds to how a step would…

  • Oracle posts SES install tips

    I’ve been really busy lately and have not been able to find the time to finish up my troubleshooting post on SES yet.  Hopefully I’ll have more time for writing posts again in a few weeks.  I did want to bring attention though to a post I noticed a few weeks ago on the PeopleSoft…

  • Part 3: PeopleSoft SES Administration

    Continuing from Part 2 where I wrote about the configuration of SES and PeopleSoft integration we move on to the Administration of the PeopleSoft Search Framework.

  • Part 2: PeopleSoft SES Configuration

    Previously in Part 1, I wrote about the steps to install Oracle Secure Enterprise Search for use with PeopleSoft and I reviewed some considerations for PeopleSoft Admins.  Part 2 covers the integration configuration required to have PeopleSoft communicate with SES.  On the PeopleSoft side we must setup Integration Broker properly.  On the SES side we…

  • SES for PeopleTools 8.53 Installation

    There is a lot of information to cover about Oracle Secure Enterprise Search and PeopleSoft.  As I was writing this I decided it became too much for a single post, so I’ve decided to break it into at least three posts and maybe four: Part 1 – SES Installation:  Installing the SES product for PeopleSoft…

  • How I forward displays from Linux or other *nix systems to Windows

    First off, I usually try to avoid it, I’m old school and like my command line options.  So, often when I’m installing PeopleSoft components, I use the console options if available.  Sometimes it’s not that simple though so when that happens, I’ve got a pretty standard method of doing things.  So here’s how I forward…

  • Poll: Readers choose topic for the last week of June

    I was playing with WordPress plugins today and found a polling plugin to play with (Yop Poll).  So what better way to check it out than to put up a Poll asking readers to choose a topic that I will post about.  Granted, the Poll is rigged, I did select all the topics after all,…

  • PeopleSoft TEMP/TMP Directories

    In PeopleTools 8.53 Oracle has changed how the TEMP and TMP environment variables are handled.  They are taking the responsibility of setting these out of the Admins hands.  In the past we set these as environment variables perhaps in the shell profile or psconfig.sh.  When we configured the app server / process scheduler these settings…

  • App Server to Database Reconnection issues in 8.51

    I ran into a problem a while ago which brought a more severe problem to my attention.  It appears in at least 8.51.02 (but probably back to 8.51.00) to 8.51.09 there are issues with application server processes properly recovering from a disconnection from the database.  I don’t have first hand experience with that problem, but…

  • Parallel Pagelet Loading

    PeopleTools 8.52 added a performance enhancement for systems that have multiple pagelets on a page.  Previously pagelets were loaded in a sequential fashion, one after another.  With this enhancement the pagelets can be loaded in a parallel fashion allowing your pages to load faster.  Oracle indicates that a page with seven pagelets can reduce it’s…
