Understanding PeopleSoft Systems

PeopleSoft targets sharing the same application database can be grouped into a PeopleSoft system. A PeopleSoft system can comprise an application database, multiple PS PIA targets, PS Web Sites, PS Process Scheduler Domains, PS Process Monitor, and PS Application Server Domains. For example, a typical PeopleSoft system might be a production HCM application, which could include various PeopleSoft entities—like an application server, web server, Process Scheduler, Process Monitor, and an application database. The PeopleSoft application database is the common target that binds the other PeopleSoft targets together in the PeopleSoft system.

Note: If you use automated system creation, all PeopleSoft targets that are associated with a particular PeopleSoft application database are added to this system. Only PeopleSoft targets that have been registered in Enterprise Manager can be in a system.

PS PIA and PS Web Site targets do not appear in an automatically generated system, unless they have been logged into previously.
