Windows Installer error during PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Windows and Linux Server through DPK

Error during PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Windows and Linux Server through DPK

Following error occurs sometimes when you are installing PeopleTools using DPK.

This error occurs during Puppet installation. It is because we have space in directory names where we have extracted DPK first zip file. E.g. d:\install dpk\setup.bat it should be d:\install_dpk\setup.bat
Hope this helps.

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

[D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet\production\data] folder. After making the

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

st /some_valid_path/to/log/psft_dpk_setup.log

Set Environment variables

Export JAVA_HOME=/opt/JDK1.8

EXPORT ORACLE_HOME=/opt/tuxedo

3. Create Oracle initialization file as oraInst.loc

This file contains the Oracle home path. Check sample file in Oracle documents for reference.
