PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Linux Server through DPK

      PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Linux Server through DPK

PeopleTools 8.57 has to be installed through DPK. Except PeopleTools everything else you can install manually in classic way. Following step will guide in details for PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Linux Server through DPK.

Extract first zip file of the linux DPK setup files inside DPK_INSTALL folder

DPK_INSTALL]$

    2. Before you proceed for PeopleTools installation you will need to install Puppet software through root user. If you wanted to installed PeopleTools through root access then you don't need to install Puppet separately. Use following command if you wanted to install only Puppet using root user.

Use this command if you do not want to update the system configuration variables on your host.

setup> ./psft-dpk-setup.sh --prereq.

User this command if you want to change ulimit and kernel values as per installation guide. This will also install puppet. This is optional.

setup>./psft-dpk-setup.sh --prereq --syscfg

 Puppet gets installed in /opt/puppetlabs

    3.   Open a terminal window using non root user and change directory to DPK_INSTALL/setup

[setup]$ ./psft-dpk-setup.sh --env_type midtier --deploy_only --deploy_type tools_home


You are running DPK setup without root/administrator access.
Before proceeding, please ensure that the necessary prerequisites
have been met, as described in the PeopleSoft installation documentation.

Preparing the Redhat Linux VM for PeopleSoft Environment:


Checking if PeopleSoft DPKs are Present: [ OK ]


The base directory is used to extract the PeopleSoft DPKs. It is also
used to deploy the PeopleSoft components. This directory should be
accessible on the Linux VM, must have write permission and should
have enough free space.
Enter the PeopleSoft Base Directory: /opt/PT857Base
Are you happy with your answer? [Y|n|q]: y


Checking if the Base Directory has Enough Free Space:
The PeopleSoft base directory [/opt/PT857Base] has only
xxxGB of disk space available. Please ensure it has at least
25 GB of free space for midtier.

Updating the Puppet Hiera YAML Files with User Data: [ OK ]


The bootstrap script is ready to deploy and configure the PeopleSoft
environment using the default configuration defined in the Puppet
Hiera YAML files. You can proceed by answering 'y' at the following
prompt. And, if you want to customize the environment by overriding
the default configuration, you can answer 'n'. If you answer 'n', you
should follow the instructions in the PeopleSoft Installation Guide
for creating the customization Hiera YAML file and running the Puppet
'apply' command directly to continue with the setup of the PeopleSoft
environment.


Do you want to continue with the default initialization process? [y|n]: n


You have decided not to continue with the default PeopleSoft environment
setup process. Any customizations to the PeopleSoft environment should be
done in the Hiera YAML file 'psft_customizations.yaml' and place it under
[/opt/PT857Base/dpk/puppet/production/data] directory. After making the
necessary customizations, run the following commands to continue with the
setup of PeopleSoft environment.


1. cd /opt/PT857Base/dpk/puppet/production/manifests
2. /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet apply --confdir=/opt/PT857Base/dpk/puppet site.pp --debug --trace --detailed-exitcodes --logdest /some_valid_path/to/log/psft_dpk_setup.log


Exiting the PeopleSoft environment setup process.


The PeopleSoft Environment Setup Process Ended.df

4.  Created following psft_customizations.yaml file and placed in data folder

---

ps_home:

db_type: "%{hiera('db_platform')}"

unicode_db: "%{hiera('unicode_db')}"

location: "/opt/PSHOME"

5. Run the following command and PeopleTools 8.57 with patch will get installed.

cd /opt/PT857Base/dpk/puppet/production/manifests

[manifests]$ /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet apply --confdir=/opt/PT857Base/dpk/puppet site.pp --debug --trace --detailed-exitcodes --logdest /opt/tmp/psft.log

6. Next step is to create environment file psft_env.sh. Sample file is present in installation doc. You can include given variable in non root user profile file as well. Also call psconfig.sh from same profile file.
