Completing the Customized Deployment

Use these steps to complete the customized deployment of the PeopleSoft environment:

Run the DPK setup script as previously described.

See "Deploying the PeopleSoft PeopleTools Deployment Packages."
Answer n (no) to the following prompt:
```
Do you want to continue with the default initialization process? [y|n]: n
```
The script stops, and displays instructions for completing the initialization. Leave the command window or terminal window open to refer to the instructions provided.
Prepare the psft_customizations.yaml file as previously described and save it in BASE_DIR/dpk/puppet/production/data.
As directed by the message displayed when the DPK setup script exited, enter the full path and script name, and wait until the deployment is complete.

Note:

You must run the script as instructed by the script message. Do not copy the psft_puppet_apply script into a different BASE_DIR to run.

Since the script redirects the output to a log file, you cannot follow the progress on the command window or terminal window. The process is complete when the prompt returns.

On Microsoft Windows:
```
BASE_DIR\psft_puppet_apply.cmd
```
On Linux:
```
BASE_DIR/psft_puppet_apply.sh
```
The psft_puppet_apply.<ext> script performs these actions:
- Sets the required PATH, library path, and PYTHON path.
- Runs the puppet apply command to set up the PeopleSoft environment using the values in psft_customizations.yaml and the generated YAML files.
  
  As mentioned, the values in psft_customizations.yaml override those in the generated YAML files.
- Saves the log file as BASE_DIR/psft_dpk_setup_apply.log.
If you want to include the Puppet debug messages in the log file, run the script with the –-debug option.

This option is useful for troubleshooting. Keep in mind that running with the –-debug option increases the log file size.

Note:

You must run the script as instructed by the script message. Do not copy the psft_puppet_apply script into a different BASE_DIR to run.

Note that you can run the puppet apply command directly, but Oracle recommends that you use the script provided, which sets the required environment variables to specify the locations for the Puppet software and the YAML files. Oracle also recommends that you do not run puppet apply –debug.
