The Oracle Enterprise Manager framework allows the automation and delegation of routine tasks on multiple targets. These tasks are completed using jobs, which you define on the Jobs tab in the Enterprise Manager console. The PeopleSoft plug-in provides these predefined jobs to manage selected PeopleSoft targets:

  • Start PeopleSoft Domains

  • Stop PeopleSoft Domains

Creating start and stop jobs applies to these PeopleSoft targets:

  • PS PIA

  • PS Application Server Domain

  • PS Process Scheduler Domain

  • PS Search Server Domain

Note: Prior to including a target in a job, it must first have been discovered.

Note: If multiple targets are included in the job, they can reside on separate hosts.

Image: Create Job page

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Create Job page.

Create Job page

To create a Start/Stop PeopleSoft Domain job:

  1. Select select Enterprise, then select Jobs, then select Activity.

  2. On the Job Activity page, select one of the following from the Create Job dropdown:

    • Start PeopleSoft Domains

    • Stop PeopleSoft Domains

  3. On the General subtab:

    • Enter a job name and description.

    • Select the appropriate value from the Target Type dropdown: PS Application Server Domain, PS PIA, PS Process Scheduler Domain, PS Search Server Domain.

    • Click Add to display a list of applicable targets, and select the targets you wish to include in the job.

  4. Skip the Parameters subtab (it does not apply).

  5. On the Credentials subtab, select the credentials for the job to use.

  6. On the Schedule subtab, specify whether the job should run immediately, a specific time in the future, or on a repeating schedule.

  7. On the Access subtab, modify any required user access to the job.

To see the job result, select Jobs, Job Activity, and click the desired job on the Job Activity page.

Note: The Start PIA job for PIA domains running on Oracle WebLogic in a Microsoft Windows server environment will not terminate as "Succeeded" due to the limitation with startPIA script not running as a background process on Windows. The job status may be shown as "Running." See the job details output to confirm that the PIA domain has started.
