necessary customizations, run the following commands to continue with the

setup of PeopleSoft environment.

 

1. cd /d D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet\production\manifests

2. "C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\puppet.bat" apply --confdir=D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet site.pp --debug --trace --detailed-exitcodes --logde
