Understanding the Management of PeopleSoft Process Scheduler
PeopleSoft Process Scheduler with Microsoft Windows or UNIX operating system is always started by means of Oracle Tuxedo software.
The following table lists Oracle Tuxedo servers that are available with PeopleSoft Process Scheduler. Some servers are optional. Ones that are required are started using the PSADMIN utility’s Quick-configure menu.

Note: OS390 is the only platform on which PeopleSoft Process Scheduler servers are initiated outside of Oracle Tuxedo.
See Understanding the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Configuration File.
Servers in OS390
The servers that are listed as optional in the preceding table are not available in the OS390 UNIX System Services (USS). These servers require specific functionality in the Oracle Tuxedo software, which is not ported in USS. For this operating system, the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server (PSPRCSRV) and Distribution Agent (PSDSTSRV) are the only servers that are booted when you start PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.
When the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server initiates an Application Engine program in OS390, it initiates the program using the executable $PS_HOME/bin/psae.
Note: PSAE is the same executable that is used in PeopleSoft releases before 8.4.
Server Logging System
Each of the Process Scheduler Tuxedo servers generates a separate log file.
