(a bit) about Architecture 8.x
• Users - Web Based• Developers – 2/3 Tier
• Server Architecture – Web– Application– Database– File– Batch

Scenarios for Environment Setup
• Vendor Install– Follows the Manual– Runs Scripts (PS)
to Load Database
• Tasks remaining– Backup Database
& “Lock Up”– Document your Setup– Backup Servers
Completely!– Make additional DBs &
AppSvr
• EZ Method – Install/Configure
Software– Backup & Restore
Database(s)– Copy PS_HOME (as
needed)– Configure Files– “Turn On” & Test

Some Differences between PeopleTools 8.1 & 8.4
• PeopleTools 8.1x– WebLogic
– AppSvr Domain Copy/Reconfigure machine to machine
– Directory Contents same all Svrs
– Still Many Tools 2-Tier
• PeopleTools 8.4x– PIA
– Must recreate Domainon AppSvr Copy
– Directory Structure NOT same all Svrs
– Most Tools Web Based

Lessons Learned
• Buy robust/like Workstations/Laptopsfor Developers
• Use Virus S/W on All PS Servers
• Work out Sizing Carefully Sizing
