Configuring the Microsoft Windows Client Configuration

You will use the SetupPTClient.bat file to configure the client. When you run the setup script, you will be prompted for information about your environment.

For detailed information on the setting up the client, see PeopleSoft PeopleTools Deployment Packages Installation.

The script uses the information you supplied and carries out the following validations and deployments:

• Oracle 19c database client for the Update Image source database (PI). The setup process determines whether a 64-bit Oracle 19c database client is present on the Microsoft Windows client machine for connectivity to the source database. If not, the setup process installs it.

• PeopleSoft PeopleTool 8.59 and 8.60 require 64-bit Oracle 19c. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.58, 8.57, 8.56, 8.55, and 8.54 require a 64-bit Oracle 12c Database Client installation. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.53 requires the 32-bit Oracle 12c database client.

• PeopleSoft PeopleTools Client for the source (PI). The source client tools are installed in C:\Peoplesoft\PSHOME\Client<release_number>, where <release_number> refers to the PeopleSoft PeopleTools release and patch, such as 8.58.03.

• PeopleSoft PeopleTools Client for the target. The target client tools are installed in C:\Peoplesoft\PSHOME\Client<release_number>, .where <release_number> refers to the PeopleSoft PeopleTools release and patch, such as 8.57.14.

• Change Assistant installation Change Assistant is installed in C:\Program Files\Peoplesoft\Change Assistant. If there is an earlier Change Assistant installation on the machine, the setup script removes it.
