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.

PIA Installation on IBM WebSphere Hangs on 20%

Posted by on February 4, 2009 Comments Off on PIA Installation on IBM WebSphere Hangs on 20%

PIA Installation on IBM WebSphere Hangs on 20%

Problem:

When installing new PIA on IBM WebSphere, the installation hangs for several minutes at 20%

Solution:

Installation takes a long time to complete. If the timeout is not long enough, the installation may fail. (Applying MP5 appears to have resolved this). Else, manually increase the timeout.
