Configuring Developer Workstations
Select the Client Setup tab.
As part of the PeopleSoft installation process, you need to configure developer workstations (also called the PeopleTools development environment) to run successfully with your PeopleSoft system. You use developer workstations for development and administrative tasks that require the use of a Windows workstation. Such tasks include, updating record definitions with Application Designer and running scripts using Data Mover. Development workstations can access the PeopleSoft system using both two-tier and three-tier connections.
Use the Client Setup tab to configure developer workstations and invoke the Client Setup process. Although this tab is specifically for developer settings, all of the PeopleSoft Configuration Manager settings may affect developers, especially the Startup tab and the Process Scheduler tab for the default profile.
