Automated PeopleSoft System Creation

Field or Control

Definition
PS App DB

Select the PeopleSoft database that should be associated to the new system. The list includes all the PS Application Databases that have been registered in Enterprise Manager.
System Name

Enter a new system name. Enterprise Manager automatically assigns a system name as <DBName>+[01-99].PSSystem. If there is already a system with that name, the new name increases incrementally by 1. You can change the system name to one that is more descriptive.
Timezone

Select the appropriate time zone. The default is the time zone of the Oracle Management Service.

Service Configuration

Field or Control

Definition
Create Service

(Optional) Select to configure the service that the PeopleSoft Application Management plug—in automatically creates for every valid PeopleSoft system. This service simulates the login-logout action to the PeopleSoft application.

If you leave the check box cleared, the remaining fields are unavailable for selection.
Service Name

Enter a service name. The default is <System Name>+. Service.

Beacon

Click the icon to open a browser listing predefined beacons. Select the beacon you want associated with the service.
Timezone

Select the appropriate time zone for the service. The default is the time zone of the Oracle Management Service.
PS Web Sites and User IDs

Lists the PS Web Sites detected in the PeopleSoft system. You must define the URL for the PeopleSoft page of each PS Web Site and specify login credentials.

  1. Enter the PeopleSoft application homepage URL (the first page to appear after the PeopleSoft login page). The format is:

    <protocol>://<hostname>/psp/<web site>/<portal>/<node>/h/<tab ID>

    For example:

    http://myserver.peoplesoft.com/psp/ps/EMPLOYEE/PT_LOCAL/h/?tab=DEFAULT

  2. Enter a user ID and password for use as the login to these URLs.

  3. To remove a web site from the service, click Delete at the end of the row.

    Note: A service can be created only if there is at least one URL and one PS Web Site listed in the Cloud.

Click OK to proceed with the automated system creation.

Note: All system properties are defaulted when the system is created automatically.

There are no defaults for charts and metric data and they must be set up manually, if desired.
