Using the PeopleTools Middleware DPK When Upgrading to a New Revision on Linux

Use this process to apply up-to-date JDK, from the PeopleTools Middleware DPK, to the upgraded OpenSearch environment.

  1. Download the new revision OSK DPK and save it in a newly created directory, referred to here as OSK_INSTALL.

    Extract the opensearch-manifest from the OSK DPK.

    See "Deploying the OpenSearch, OpenSearch Dashboards, and Logstash Deployment Package," Obtaining the OpenSearch, OpenSearch Dashboards, and Logstash DPK.

  2. Download the latest PeopleTools Middleware DPK for Linux, and save it in the same OSK_INSTALL.

    For use with the OpenSearch upgrade, you need only the first PeopleTools Middleware DPK, PT-MW-DPK-LNX-8.63-<DATE>_1of2.zip.

    Extract the ptmw-manifest and compare it with the opensearch-manifest to determine whether to continue with this procedure. Use the information in the PeopleTools Middleware DPK installation guide.

    See PeopleTools Middleware Deployment Package Installation (PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.63), PeopleSoft PeopleTools on the Oracle Help Center, Install and Upgrade, https://docs.oracle.com/en/applications/peoplesoft/peopletools/index.html

  3. In a terminal window, change directory to OSK_INSTALL. 

    cd OSK_INSTALL

  4. Extract the entire contents of OSK_FILENAME.zip in the same directory, OSK_INSTALL.

    Note:

    It is a good idea to extract into the same directory where you downloaded the zip files, and to extract into an empty directory for each new installation.

    The extraction creates the following directories and files in OSK_INSTALL:

    • setup directory — includes the setup script and a silent installation sample

    • archives directory — includes archives for deployment

    • readme.txt file

    • opensearch–manifest — lists the versions of OpenSearch and JDK

  5. Verify that OSK_INSTALL contains the extracted files and PT-MW-DPK-LNX-8.63-<DATE>_1of2.zip file. 

    setup/
archives/
readme.txt
opensearch-manifest
PT-MW-DPK-LNX-8.63-<DATE>_1of2.zip

    Note:

    After you have extracted the OSK_FILENAME.zip you can delete it, move it, or leave it in OSK_INSTALL. Ensure that the intact PT-MW-DPK-LNX-8.63-<DATE>_1of2.zip is present as shown here.

  6. Change directory to OSK_INSTALL/setup.

  7. Run the DPK setup script with these options:

    ./psft-dpk-setup.sh --upgrade --install_base_dir BASE_DIR

    • For the install_base_dir option, specify the full path to the existing OpenSearch installation. The installation directory is referred to in this documentation as BASE_DIR; for example: 

      ./psft-dpk-setup.sh --upgrade --install_base_dir /home/opensearch

    • Use double-dashes when specifying the script options; for example, --upgrade.

  8. Answer the prompts as described in the previous section, and wait until the process is complete.
