useradd -g psoft weblogic

2. Install software as weblogic user.
The weblogic's installation folder might be inside the PS_HOME directory, but since we can share the Weblogic software by multiple Peopletools and Peoplesoft applications, better to externalize the Weblogic software and do not duplicate the installation.

Choose "Peoplesoft Entreprise", plateform "Linux x86", then under "PeopleSoft Enterprise - PeopleTools 8.50 Media Pack", choose the disk :
"Tuxedo 10gR3 for Linux x86-64"

1. As root, create the group and user for the Tuxedo installation, here I'm using only one group for Tuxedo, Weblogic and Peoplesoft software owner, but different user accounts.

[root@orion3:/root]# groupadd psoft
[root@orion3:/root]# useradd -g psoft tuxedo

2. Prepare the folders

[root@orion3:/root]# cd /apps
[root@orion3:/apps]# ls -lrt
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root 4096 Jan  4 00:00 mdlware
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root 4096 Jan  4 00:01 psoft
drwxr-xr-x 6 oracle dba  4096 Jan  4 21:29 oracle
[root@orion3:/apps]# chgrp psoft mdlware/
[root@orion3:/apps]# chgrp psoft psoft
[root@orion3:/apps]# chmod g+rwx mdlware
[root@orion3:/apps]# chmod g+rwx psoft
[root@orion3:/apps]#

3. Install software as tuxedo user.
The tuxedo's installation folder might be inside the PS_HOME directory, but since we can share the Tuxedo software by multiple Peopletools and Peoplesoft applications, better to externalize the Tuxedo software and do not duplicate the installation.

COBOL on Peoplesoft OVM

Ever need to test some Peoplesoft cobol ? Peoplesoft OVM is coming around for few months, and never tried it on my side.
There was a question on how compile/link Cobol on Peoplesoft OVM App/Batch server two days ago on Peoplesoft OVM forum.
Well, of course, Microfocus is not installed on Peoplesoft OVM App.Batch server, you should do it on your own.
Then compile by running $PS_HOME/setup/pscbl.mak.
And finally link the Cobol by running $PS_HOME/setup/psrun.mak.
Shouldn't it be easy ?
Whether the compilation ran fine, there was an error on the link, and that was the question of that thread : Compiling COBOLs in PSOVM - psrun.mak error - “cob64: can not execute Id”. To keep reference, I'll resume here the issue.
Especially the command line :

[psadm1@psovmab setup]$ ./psrun.mak
./psrun.mak - linking PSRUN for oel-5-x86_64, Version 2.6.18-92.0.0.0.1.el5xen ...
./psrun.mak - Error(s) encountered creating PSRUN!
./psrun.mak - See /opt/oracle/psft/appbatch/tools/setup/psrun.err for messages
[psadm1@psovmab setup]$ more /opt/oracle/psft/appbatch/tools/setup/psrun.err
cob64: can not execute ld
[psadm1@psovmab setup]$

To make it work, as I explained in the thread linked above, I had to install a lot of RPM, some required for ld, but many of them because of the dependencies :

Surprinsingly, all these packages are installed on Peoplesoft OVM database server (I bet because of the Oracle database is running there), but not on Peoplesoft OVM App/Batch server.
Anyway, that was not enough to solve the issue, a new one came around :

[psadm1@psovmab setup]$ ./psrun.mak
./psrun.mak - linking PSRUN for oel-5-x86_64, Version 2.6.18-92.0.0.0.1.el5xen ...
./psrun.mak - Error(s) encountered creating PSRUN!
./psrun.mak - See /opt/oracle/psft/appbatch/tools/setup/psrun.err for messages
[psadm1@psovmab setup]$ more /opt/oracle/psft/appbatch/tools/setup/psrun.err
ld: cannot find -lgcc
[psadm1@psovmab setup]$

And to avoid this one, we should have a look into the two following files in $COBDIR/etc directory :

[psadm1@psovmab etc]$ more cobopt
-C nolist
set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6
[psadm1@psovmab etc]$ more cobopt64
-C nolist
set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.3

Somehow they have wrong value of GCC_LIB, they should be like this :

[psadm1@psovmab etc]$ more cobopt
-C nolist
set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/32
[psadm1@psovmab etc]$ vi cobopt64
[psadm1@psovmab etc]$ more cobopt64
-C nolist
set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6

And now we are able to link the Cobol :

[psadm1@psovmab etc]$ cd $PS_HOME/setup
[psadm1@psovmab setup]$ ./psrun.mak
./psrun.mak - linking PSRUN for oel-5-x86_64, Version 2.6.18-92.0.0.0.1.el5xen ...
./psrun.mak - Successfully created PSRUN in directory: /opt/oracle/psft/appbatch/tools/bin
./psrun.mak - linking PSRUNRMT for oel-5-x86_64, Version 2.6.18-92.0.0.0.1.el5xen ...
./psrun.mak - Successfully created PSRUNRMT in directory: /opt/oracle/psft/appbatch/tools/bin
[psadm1@psovmab setup]$

Make Peoplesoft OVM Multilingual

Since HRMS9.1 has been delivered in multiligual version (see on http://edelivery.oracle.com) it is easy to make a entire demo environment Peoplesoft OVM in your own language and avoid this error because your browser is not English and only English is available.
Nothing has to be installed on the Peoplesoft OVM servers, the database will contains everything needed.
1. You'll only need a Windows client with an Oracle client and Peopletools 8.50.x installed and of couse HRMS9.1 ML as following.





The directory is the same as for your Peopletools (%PS_HOME%) :
Here, you'll need to check the language you want to install :


2. As this state, shut the AppServer, process scheduler and webserver down from the different Peoplesoft OVM. It is also advisable to take a backup of the database (shut it down and copy the dbf) or simple shutdown the Peoplesoft OVM database, and copy the files from the VM in a secure place.

3. Then, from the Windows client, open DataMover in bootstrap mode (remember, the database is 11gR1, password case sensitive turned on, SYSADM password needs to be in upper case) :

Click on database setup :
After a quickk checck, the database is AL32UTF8 :

SQL> select * from v$nls_parameters where parameter like '%CHARACTERSET%';

PARAMETER
----------------------------------------------------------------
VALUE
----------------------------------------------------------------
NLS_CHARACTERSET
AL32UTF8

NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET
UTF8

SQL>

Add the language you want :

The simplest way (especially for a DEMO database) is to keep the ENGLISH based language :
Finally, run the generated script (depending of the number of languages you install in same time, this could run for a while) :

4. Open AppDesigner with PS user :
Copy the project PPLTLSML from the file in your local Peopletools directory - %PS_HOME%\projects :

Check ONLY the language you've added earlier in the database :


Go to DataMover from AppDesigner :
5. Run the script pt850tlsxxx.dms (xxx is the language you've added earlier, here is fra for French), script iss in %PS_HOME%\script:

6. Run the application engine VERSION :

7. Last step, maybe not very necessarly to be run, but SETSPACE (SYSADM password in upper case) :

8. Restart AppServer, process scheduler and webserver, go to your home page, and click on the language you've just installed :
We got the page in French :


You could install more than one languages in same time, or repeat these step for each.

Enjoy,

Nicolas.

Peoplesoft HRMS 9.1 ML

Just in case you did not noticed yet, the translation of Peoplesoft HRMS 9.1 is now available and downloadable from http://edelivery.oracle.com

It is installable on top of your current installation and database, no need to reinstall everything and to recreate the database neither.

Nicolas.
