  • New Encryption Algorithm Impacts PeopleTools Connectivity

    I stumbled onto this little piece of info while researching an unrelated connectivity problem.  Oracle changed an encryption algorithm they use (for at least Access Id/Password) a few months back.  This change went in with PeopleTools 8.52.24, 8.53.17, and 8.54.04.  Most places I’ve been have always kept their PeopleTools clients at the same level as…

  • 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…

  • How PeopleSoft uses SSL when acting as the Client

    Previously, I wrote about SSL and how Weblogic utilizes it from a server perspective.  This article provides a followup analysis from a client perspective, the client being the PeopleSoft system.  We will look at a few examples of different client uses in PeopleSoft and how we can control the protocol used.

  • SSL and Weblogic

    As previously mentioned, I was doing an analysis of how PeopleSoft and Weblogic utilize SSL which was spawned by the announcement of POODLE.  I’m going to review my findings for Weblogic 10.3.6.x and then duplicate the analysis to see if anything is changed with Weblogic 12.1.2.  Weblogic 10.3.6.x is supported for any PeopleTools 8.50 –…

  • Remastered 9.2 Application media

    Some of you may have noticed this already but I recently saw that some of the PeopleSoft 9.2 Application media had been remastered. HCM 9.2 was updated on E-delivery at the end of October.  It includes patches from Update Image 9.  Image 9 was also released as a certified Upgrade Demo Image. FSCM 9.2 was…

  • 8.54 PUM Images Released

    Oracle released the HCM 9.2.008 PUM Image today, Aug 19th.  The ELM 9.2.005 PUM Image came out last week on Aug 12th.  Finance should be out next week.  These images are supposed to be delivered on the new 8.54.01 PeopleTools release.  These should be an easy way for Admins like ourselves or Oracle customers in…

  • nVision going to Error

    I ran into this problem with nVision a little while ago.  nVision processes were going to error status on the process scheduler.  A quick glance at the logs made it look like either the process was crashing or not starting at all.  I logged into the Windows Process Scheduler server to take a look at…

  • 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…
