  • 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…

  • PeopleSoft Weblogic Monitoring tools available

    I’ve made the Weblogic monitoring tools I’ve been working on available.  Also I’ve added a few pages for them under the menu item Monitoring Tools.  If you’d like to try it out you’ll need to register and you can download them from the Downloads page.

  • 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…

  • 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. The first problem…

  • 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…

  • PeopleSoft 9.2 HCM/FSCM GA date set to March 22, 2013

    Just saw this announcement: Oracle today announced that PeopleSoft Human Capital Management 9.2, PeopleSoft Financials 9.2 and Supply Chain Management 9.2 will be generally available Friday, March 22. Full Oracle Press Release

  • UPPER CASE PeopleSoft scripts for SQL Server

    I remember the first time I started working on a PeopleSoft system running on SQL Server.  I was constantly having problems with my SQL and scripts I’d write because I would write everything lower case.  That’s when I learned PeopleSoft recommended the Latin1_General_Bin collation for the database on SQL Server and that collation is case…

  • Determining psjoa.jar Version

    I recently answered a question on the OTN forums that I thought was interesting and figured I’d detail it a little further here.  Someone was using psjoa.jar to interface with a remote PeopleSoft system and wanted to verify what PeopleTools version a specific psjoa.jar file was from.  First a little background on psjoa.jar.  This file…
