  • 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…

  • 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…

  • PeopleSoft Test Framework

    The PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) is a testing tool that was released with PeopleTools 8.51 and has seen improvements and active development from Oracle in 8.52 and 8.53.  PTF is a record and playback tool that is somewhat similar to other testing automation tools.  It distinguishes itself from other tools for a few reasons: It’s…

  • HCM 9.2 and 8.53 Demo Install Notes

    These are my notes from a recent HCM 9.2 / 8.53.02 setup I did.   I tried out the database wizard again this time.  Had a few hiccups but it seemed to work.  I still think it’s easier and quicker to create the database manually, especially when the java process ran at 100% on one cpu…

  • Webserver detected with incorrect Version of JDK

    Now that PeopleTools 8.53 is out, I’ve seen people that are doing PIA installs posting about this problem a few places. Webserver detected with the incorrect version or JDK or no JDK found. Please try again, The required JDK is version 1.7 The only  reason I’ve seen so far for this error is the value…

  • Reload Web Profile

    Today I’m writing about a simple trick I use when I need to reload web profiles.  This is documented several places, but I’ve referenced reloading the web profile this way in previous posts so I’m adding it here. PeopleSoft has the ability to reload the web profile on the fly through a command to the…
