Preparing the Customization File for the PS_CUST_HOME Location

Use the PS_CUST_HOME location for files such as COBOL and SQR that originate with your organization. The delivered YAML files do not include a PS_CUST_HOME location. The DPK setup script creates the PS_CUST_HOME if it does not exist.

Note:

Setting a PS_CUST_HOME environment variable, which was used for non-DPK deployments, does not work.

1. If necessary, create a psft_customizations.yaml using a standard editing tool, such as Notepad on Microsoft Windows or vi on Linux, and save it in the same location as the psft_configuration.yaml file.

   If this is the first entry in the psft_customizations.yaml file, ensure that there are three dashes (---) on the first line of the file. Do not indent the dashes.

2. Add the following parameters in the psft_customizations.yaml file and modify the location value as needed.

   Note:

   This applies only for customized location for new installation of PeopleSoft homes: Before you run the psft_puppet_apply.<ext> command, ensure the customized location given in the psft_customizations.yaml file does not contain any files or directories.

   Retain the indentation as given in the delivered YAML file.

   For example, on Linux:

   ---
   ps_cust_home_location:       "/home/pscusthome"
   ps_cust_home:
     location:   "/home/pscusthome"

   For example, on Microsoft Windows:

   ---
   ps_cust_home_location:        "C:/pscusthome"
   ps_cust_home:
     location:   "C:/pscusthome"

3. Save the file.

4. Continue with the steps in Completing the Customized Deployment.
