  • Forcing end user browsers to clear cache

    I recently had an opportunity to pull an old trick out of my bag of goodies during a recent PeopleTools 8.54 upgrade I was assisting on.  The Question: How can we force all the users of PeopleSoft to clear their browser cache without needing to ask the users to do it manually?  The scenario was…

  • 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…

  • Return of the “ptcommonobj is undefined”

    I previously wrote a post about getting the error “ptcommonobj is undefined” in the web browser and having modal windows, search look-ups, and other things not working in PeopleSoft. Well not so long ago this struck me again. This time though no PeopleTools upgrades had occurred and there was no proxy or caching devices between…
