Peoplesoft on Windows 2012 : Middleware

After installing Windows 2012 and Oracle database software, time to move on with Peoplesoft software.
Note that Peopletools 8.53 is now certified on Windows 2012 (check the certification matrix on My Oracle Support).

Before hands, we’ll first install the required software JDK, Tuxedo and Weblogic.

1. JDK
I downloaded the one available on edelivery, Oracle JDK 7 Update 9 for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit), part number V35015-01. After unzipping the file, run it. Nothing special here, straight forward, click, click and click. Done. Here we go:






Nothing is required for the JDK, no patch to apply afterwards.     

2. Weblogic
I download the software from edelivery, Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.6) Generic and Coherence, part number V29856-01.
Now the install, straing from the command line (despite we can see “Powershell windows, I ran a “cmd” first):

Except this command line we should take care of, it’s again a “click'” installation:


The directory I specified is not empty because it is also used for Tuxedo and JDK binaries, nothing wrong to continue:

Again this uninformed question:



The installer retrieve the JDK binaries by itself:

3. Tuxedo
Last part of the middleware, Tuxedo.
Again, I download the software available on edelivery, Oracle Tuxedo 11gR1 (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) with MS Visual Studio 2010, part number V28471-01. And again, there’s nothing special here, straight foward:




Choose the full install:










Now, we can check the Tuxedo group installed:
        
   

That’s it. Nothing really exciting here, but mandatory steps anyway in order to use Peoplesoft. Note that there’s no big change (none?) from the previous version, and Windows 2012 does not cause any troubles.

Next step, the Peopletools.

Peoplesoft on Windows 2012 : Oracle software

At the time I wrote this article offline, Oracle 12cR1 was not available for Windows at all.
I decided to have a go with 11gR2 on Windows 2012, even though it is not supported. Awaiting the forth coming 12c and an upgrade to this latest version.
I’m going to install Oracle 11gR2 64bit database software on Windows 2012 64bit that I already installed as shown here.

The goal is to have a working Peoplesoft environment on my Windows 2012 plateform. It will be based on Peopletools 8.53, fully 64bit compatible on Windows plateform, but still needs 32bit Oracle client for DataMover and Application Designer. That’s why I’m also going to install Oracle 11gR2 32bit client software.

1. Oracle 11gR2 64bit database software









Since the software is not “ready” for Windows 2012, there’s a warning we’re gonna to ignore, we’re on a test plateform, it should not hurt anyway:


















Check out the version:
       

2. Oracle 11gR2 32bit client software

Be sure you’re installing a 32bit client if you don’t want to have troubles with Peoplesoft client utilities (Datamover, AppDesigner).







Again the warning because of the non ready Oracle software for Windows 2012, we’ll gonna to ignore it:
