Deploying the New Release in Mid-Tier Mode

To install the PeopleTools DPKs for the new PeopleTools 8.63.<new> release; for example, PeopleTools 8.63.11:

There are no default passwords. The DPK setup script includes prompts for user name and passwords. Review the requirements before beginning.

See E-DPK - PeopleTools 8.59 and later - DPK setup does not support some special characters for passwords (My Oracle Support, Article ID KB300834).

Go to the directory where you downloaded the PeopleTools 8.63.<new> DPKs for the new release, referred to here as DPK_INSTALL_NEW.

See Downloading and Deploying the PeopleTools Client for the New Release.
Extract the first downloaded DPK zip file, for example, Filename_1of4.zip, in the same directory.

The extraction creates the DPK_INSTALL_NEW/setup folder and other files.
To set up the PeopleTools mid-tier components for the new PeopleTools 8.63.<new> patch release:
- On Microsoft Windows, open a command prompt with Run as Administrator, go to DPK_INSTALL_NEW/setup and run this command:
```
psft-dpk-setup.bat --env_type midtier
```
- On Linux open a terminal window as root, go to DPK_INSTALL_NEW/setup, and run this command:
```
./psft-dpk-setup.sh --env_type midtier
```
At the following prompt, enter the full path for a new directory (that is, different from that used for the existing 8.63 installation) for the PeopleSoft base folder (referred to in this documentation as BASE_DIR_NEW):

Note:

When entering the path for the base folder, use forward slashes (/). For example, C:/psft_new. Enclose any names with special characters in double quotes. Do not use a name for the base folder that begins with a number. On Linux do not end the base directory name with a forward slash (for example, do not enter /ds1/psft/).

Note:

The script progress and validation messages are not included here. See the task Running the PeopleSoft PeopleTools DPK Setup Script for Mid-tier Deployment for more details.
```
The base directory is used to extract the PeopleSoft DPKs. It is also
used to deploy the PeopleSoft components. This directory should be
accessible, must have write permission and should have enough 
free space.

Enter the full path for the PeopleSoft Base Directory: C:/psft_new

The bootstrap script is ready to deploy and configure the PeopleSoft
environment using the default configuration defined in the Puppet
Hiera YAML files. You can proceed by answering 'y' at the following
prompt. And, if you want to customize the environment by overriding
the default configuration, you can answer 'n'. If you answer 'n', you
should follow the instructions in the PeopleSoft Installation Guide
for creating the customization Hiera YAML file and running the Puppet
'apply' command directly to continue with the setup of the PeopleSoft
environment.

Do you want to continue with the default initialization process? [y|n]: n

You have decided not to continue with the default PeopleSoft environment
setup process. Any customizations to the PeopleSoft environment should 
be done in the Hiera YAML file 'psft_customizations.yaml' and place it 
under [c:\psft\dpk\puppet\production\data] folder. After making the
necessary customizations, run the following script to continue with
the setup of PeopleSoft environment.

Start a cmd window as Administrator and run C:\psft\psft_puppet_apply.cmd

Exiting the PeopleSoft environment setup process.

The script stops.

Complete the instructions in the next section to prepare the psft_customizations.yaml file and complete the initialization.
