  • Building out a new HCM 9.2 Update Image 9 DEMO

    As mentioned here an updated version of  the PeopleSoft HCM media was released in late 2014.  I’ve done a few Demo installs of this on both Linux and Windows now, and here are my notes from a Linux install.  As in the past, these are rough notes I take when I do any install and…

  • PeopleSoft PUM Images on Linux KVM

    As we know, with the new PeopleSoft 9.2 applications came a new method of delivering updates via PeopleSoft Update Manager.  We now need to download fully functional VirtualBox images to get our patches.  We can also use these images for Demo environments and specific versions are useable for New Release Demos during application upgrades.  SES…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • When PeopleSoft Cache goes Bad

    In general Cache is a good thing, but sometimes things go wrong. I usually try to avoid clearing cache unless I have a real reason. In my experience clearing cache without reason usually only adds to the end users perception that PeopleSoft is a slow painful application to work with, and we know PeopleSoft gets…

  • Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS upgrade

    I ran a few servers that were Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  I decided I’d upgrade them to 12.04 LTS now that its out.  Though this doesn’t have anything to do with PeopleSoft, I figured I’d post the how to anyhow.  Here are the steps: Make a backup of what ever you may need for how ever…

  • PeopleSoft Desktop Single Sign-on via Kerberos – Part 3

    Welcome to the third installment of PeopleSoft Desktop Single Sign-on via Kerberos.  I hope to wrap up everything in this final post. In Part 1 we configured our Linux servers to talk to our Active Directory server and setup a user/SPN for our Kerberos Authentication. In Part 2 of the PeopleSoft Desktop SSO write up…

  • PeopleSoft Desktop Single Sign-on via Kerberos – Part 1

    With the release of PeopleTools 8.51 Desktop Single Signon via Kerberos is now a supported reality.  Though this can’t really be considered a delivered solution, I’d call it a reference solution, for those that want to build their own it is at least available and documented.  So here is a walk through of setting up…
