----------------------------------------------------------
Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server Server at SHRIVASTAVA.TEST.INT Port 7777

Solution:

Password in the dads.conf (C:oracleproduct10.2.0http_1Apachemodplsql confdads.conf ) file is incorrect. Confirm by logging on to SQL*Plus as user APEX_PUBLIC_USER. Correct password, then bounce Apache web server.

Running DDDAUDIT

To run DDDAUDIT manually:

1. Click Start > Run

2. Click Browse, navigate to binsqlMSSbinw, and select sqrw.exe. Append the necessary flags:

On glwebapp:

E:PSOFTFS900binsqrMSSBINWsqrw.exe -IE:PSOFTFS900sqr -ZIFE:PSOFTFS900sqrpssqr.ini -fC:Temp -KEEP

Note that the above is one line without breaks.

If PS_HOME is mapped to a drive, use the drive letter instead:

P:binsqrMSSBINWsqrw.exe -IP:sqr -ZIFP:sqrpssqr.ini -fC:Temp -KEEP

Parameters for DDDAUDIT reportSQ

3. The SQR for PeopleSoft V8.49.15 form appears. Enter the following parameters:

Report name: E:PSOFTFS900sqrdddaudit.sqr
Data Source: FSDMO
Username: sa
Password: train

The FSDMO ODBC connection must be created for it to appear in the Data Source drop down list.

PDF reports not appearing in browser

Problem:

After running a report in PeopleSoft with PDF output, when the output file is clicked in Process Monitor, a dialog box appears prompting you to save the PDF file to the hard drive. The expected behaviour is that the PDF report will appear in the browser window.

Solution:

1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu and then click Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab. Then click Restore Defaults.

Alternatively, uncheck ‘Do not save encrypted pages to disk.

2. The digital certificates are incorrectly configured. Regenerate and setup the correct certificates.
