Environments Overview

Cloud Manager provisions PeopleSoft environments on-demand with just a few clicks. The entire provisioning process is automated. At the end of provisioning, a ready-to-use environment is available within a short time. The environments can be created by a three step process:

Create Topology
Create Template
Create Environment

Note: Prior to creating an environment, ensure that the required DPKs are already downloaded in the Repository.

An administrator defines a template for creating an environment. The topology is encapsulated inside the template. Users can select a template, override topologies, change any attributes, if needed and provision PeopleSoft environments on demand.

Users are allowed to perform actions on a running environment, such as stop, view details, create new template from it, and so on. For details, see the Actions on the Environment section under the Environments Page.

Note: Also, you must ensure to tune the servers, database, and PeopleSoft system for optimum performance once the deployment is completed.

Actions on the Environment

You can perform a variety of actions on the environment by using the Related Actions button corresponding to each environment. The actions can be:

Details: Select this option to view environment details and to perform additional actions on the environment such as performing a health check, applying a PeopleTools patch, viewing logs, and managing PUM connections.
Start: Select this option to start all the instances and then all the domains within them.
Stop: Select this option to stop all domains and shutdown all the instances. In case of database, only compute database instances are shutdown. You cannot stop the DB system if it is used as a database tier and has multiple PDBs.
Delete: Select this option to remove the environment.
Note: If DB system is used as a database tier and has multiple PDBs, only the PDB is deleted and the DB system is not terminated.
Manage Node: Select this option to scale an environment up or down, add nodes, remove nodes, restart, stop, start, and work with search clusters.
Clone Environment: Select this option to clone an existing environment.
Refresh: Select this option to refresh the database or the database, Application Home (PS_APP_HOME) and Custom Home (PS_CUST_HOME).
This option is only available for DBaaS environments. This option is disabled for environments that use DB system as database tier and have multiple PDBs.
Backup and Restore: Select this option to backup or restore an environment.
This option is disabled for environments that use DB system as database tier and have multiple PDBs.
Deploy: Select this option to continue deploying an environment that has paused after infrastructure creation.
Delegate Access: This functionality is no longer supported. See Role Based Security Page for the currently supported action.
Disaster Recovery: Select this option to set up an environment as a standby in case of failure.
