Precedence

The SQL Server software must be installed before the PeopleTools.

PeopleTools Product Patch must be installed before PIA.

Step 1: SQL Server Installation

The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 DVD was staged (that is, copied) to D:stagingSQLServer2005 on the GLDBASE machine. After staging, setup.exe from D:stagingSQLServer2005Servers was run.

By default, the following required components were installed prior to installing SQL Server:

  • .NET Framework 2.0
  • Microsoft SQL Native Client
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup Support Files

These components were installed to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server by default.

The other SQL Server components were installed to D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server. These components are:

  • Database Services
    • Data Files
    • Replication
    • Full-Text Search
    • Shared Tools
  • Client Components
    • Connectivity Components
    • Management Tools

The Microsoft SQL Native Client (SNaC) must also be installed on the GLWEBAPP machine in which PeopleTools is installed. To do so, share the D:staging directory on GLDBASE (10.18.14.31). From GLWEBAPP, navigate to \10.x.x.xstagingSQLServer2005Servers. Then run setup.exe.

Allow the required components to install (.NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft SQL Native Client and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup Support Files). Continue the installation and install the Connectivity Components on GLWEBAPP.

Step 2: File Server (PeopleTools) Installation

It was necessary to install up the SQL Server Connectivity Components on the GLWEBAPP because the SQL Server Connectivity Program Directory must be specified as part of the installation.

The seven PeopleTools CDs were staged to the E:stagingCDImages

Note that you MUST install PeopleTools on both nodes.

The following values/options were set as part of the PeopleTools installation on the peoplesoft4hr node:

Variable Value
PeopleSoft (PeopleTools) License code z66smq-22c7mc-3w444e1-2is234-81p1f7
Type of Database Non-Unicode Database
Peoplesoft Application Server Checked
Peoplesoft Batch Server Checked
Peoplesoft Database Server Checked
Peoplesoft File Server Checked
Peoplesoft Web Server Checked
PS_HOME Drectory Name E:PSOFTHR900
ERP Connectors? No
Connectivity Program Directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80Toolsbinn
Install PeopleTools Icons? Yes
PeopleTools Program Group Folder PeopleTools 8.4
Environment Hub machine name Peoplesoft4hr
Environment Hub Port Number 8000
PeopleTools (Product Installation) Checked
PeopleTools System Database Checked
PeopleTools Language Pack Not checked
PeopleTools Language Development Kit Not checked

Step 3: Application Installation

To install the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management System and Campus Solutions 9.0 (HR) application, the disk was obtained from the CD. It was unzipped (“exploded”) and staged to the F:stagingcd849-HR directory, in the disk1 directory.

To install the Financials application, navigate to F:stagingcd849-HRdisk1 directory and run setup.exe

The following values/options were entered

Variable Value
PeopleSoft (HRMS) License code
Type of Database Non-Unicode Database
PeopleSoft Application Server Checked
PeopleSoft Batch Server Checked
PeopleSoft Database Server Checked
PeopleSoft File Server Checked
PeopleSoft Web Server Checked
PS_HOME Directory Name E:PSOFTFS900

Step 4: Application Server (Tuxedo) Installation

The Tuxedo 9.1 CD (Windows version) was staged to E:stagingCDImagescd849-Tuxdisk1 on the GLWEBAPP server. To install Tuxedo, run pstuxinstall.exe. This brings up a console interface (as opposed to a GUI wizard).

The following prompts appeared when psstuxinstall.exe is run:

1 file(s) copied.

1 file(s) copied.

BEA Home being defaulted to C:\bea  (y/n)? [y]: n

Please provide a BEA Home: E:\bea

Tuxedo 9.1 will be installed to E:\beaTuxedo9.1  (y/n)? [y]: <Enter>

TListen port being defaulted to 3050  (y/n)? [y]: <Enter>

Accept default TListen password ‘password’  (y/n)? [y]: <Enter>

Are you happy with your selections (y/n)? [y]: <Enter>

Tuxedo 9.1 is being installed on your system….

Tuxedo 9.1 base install completed.

Stopping Tuxedo 9.1 Services…

The TListen 9.1 (Port: 3050) service is stopping..

The TListen 9.1 (Port: 3050) service was stopped successfully.

The BEA ProcMGR V9.1 service is stopping.

The BEA ProcMGR V9.1 service was stopped successfully.

Patch installation completed.

Please note that you must reboot your system before using any Tuxedo 9.1 or PeopleSoft applications.

Press any key to continue…

After installing Tuxedo, the GLWEBAPP server was rebooted remotely.

Step 5: Web Server (WebSphere) Installation

The two IBM WebSphere CDs (Windows version) were staged to the E:stagingCDImagescd849-WebSphere directories, in the disk1 and disk2 directories.

To install IBM WebSphere, navigate to disk1 and run installWAS.bat.

Install to E:IBMWebSphereAppServer

For Environments, choose None, then click Yes to accept the choice.

In the Summary screen, click Next.

Uncheck the Create a new WebSphere Application Server profile, and then click Finish.

Step 6: PeopleTools 8.49.15 Product Patch Installation

Check Customer Connection (now Metalink3 at http://metalink3.oracle.com) for the latest PeopleTools 8.49 Product Patch. As at this time, the latest PeopleTools Product Patch for version 8.49 is 8.49.15.

Download this patch 84915.exe from:

ftp://ftp.peoplesoft.com/outgoing/ptools/84915/84915.exe

(The password for 84915.exe is ‘MisterEd’)

Run 84915.exe and unzip the file to E:stagingCDImages. It automatically creates the cd84915 directory and unzips the file.

From E:stagingCDImagescd84915disk1, run setup.exe. It updates PS_HOME (E:PSOFTFS900) with the updated files.

Step 7: Pure Internet Architecture (PIA) Installation

To create the PIA, change directory to E:PSOFTFS900PsMpPIAInstall and run setup.exe

Install PIA to the IBM WebSphere web server, located in E:IBMWEBSPHEREAppServer.

Application name and web site name should be set to the name of the environment e.g. fsdmo. Create a Multi Server installation, not a Single Server installation.

Note that the port numbers for http and https must not be consecutive.

Web Profile Name, User ID and Password should remain the default.

The Report Repository should be set to E:psreports.

The installation process takes about ten minutes to complete.

Errors while running createvw.dms

Posted by on December 17, 2008 No comments

Errors while running createvw.dms:

Related language record RE_LANDLORD_LG used by record RE_LANDLORD not found. (20,52)
Related Language Record VCHR_SRCHLG1_VW used by VCHR_SRCHCRT_VW not found (20,52)
Related language record BI_SHP_LANG_VW used by record BI_SHP_ADDR_VW2 not found. (20,52)

Data Mover crashes out.

Solution:

Did not perform step 10 of the PT 8.49.15 Product Patch User Documentation (https://psft-updates.oracle.com/ice/Resolutions/768890/PT84915UserDoc_rev2.htm). Using Application Designer, log on as user VP1 and copy project PATCH849. Then, in Data Mover, log on as VP1 and rerun CREATEVW.DMS.

10. Copy Patch Project – ONLY if PATCH849 exists –

Note: If no database changes have been made in PT 8.49 by the time this patch is released, the PATCH849 project will not exist in the projects folder and this step can be ignored.

a. Using PeopleTools 8.49.15, launch Application Designer, and sign on to the database as a PeopleSoft User. [VP1]
b. Select Tools > Copy Project > From File
c. Enter projects and select PATCH849 from the list of projects
d. Select Options and highlight the languages Common and English ONLY.
e. Select Copy to begin copying updated PeopleTools objects to your database.

After rerunning CREATEVW.DMS, the last four lines of the CREATEVW.LOG file shows:

SQL Views: 27267
Ended: Wed Dec 17 18:23:25 2008
Successful completion
Script Completed.

Other steps to try:

Stop SQL Server services and restart.
Log on as user VP1 when running createvw.dms

Restarting data mover after a crash
A data mover script can be restarted by coding in the DMS ‘set start after record name’ before the Import * command. If the record is name ps_tablename, then do not code the ‘ps_’, just code tablename.

Attempted to create views using Application Designer: In Application Designer, click Ctrl+F7 (Insert > Definitions from Project…), and search for all Records. Select All records and insert them into the current project (takes about 10 minutes to complete). Then click Build > Project and check only Create Views (modify other settings as necessary). Build the SQL script, and after creating,
