Running the DPK Setup Prerequisite Step for Linux

Understanding the DPK Setup Prerequisite Step

Before a non-root user can install the PeopleSoft environment, the root user must run one of the prerequisite commands in the following table:

Note:

The commands include line feeds for readability.

DPK Setup Script Command Action

DPK Setup Script Command	Action
`./psft-dpk-setup.sh --prereq`	Validate the Oracle central inventory location and set up a default central inventory location with the correct permissions if none exists.
`./psft-dpk-setup.sh --prereq --syscfg` Note: This command is supported only on Linux.	Set system configuration variables such as kernel parameters, user and group ulimits, as defined in psft_unix_system.yaml. Use this option in combination with the --prereq option.

./psft-dpk-setup.sh --prereq

Validate the Oracle central inventory location and set up a default central inventory location with the correct permissions if none exists.

./psft-dpk-setup.sh --prereq 
--syscfg

Note: This command is supported only on Linux.

Set system configuration variables such as kernel parameters, user and group ulimits, as defined in psft_unix_system.yaml. Use this option in combination with the --prereq option.

Running the DPK Setup Prerequisite Step to Validate the Oracle Central Inventory Location

To run the prerequisite step without performing system configuration:

Open a terminal window as a user with root access, and extract the first zip file (FILENAME_1ofn.zip).

The extraction creates the DPK_INSTALL/setup folder and other files.

Note:

It is a good idea to extract into the same directory where you downloaded the zip files, DPK_INSTALL.
Change directory to DPK_INSTALL/setup.
Run the script as follows:
```
./psft-dpk-setup.sh --prereq
```
The DPK setup log is written to the file <ROOT_HOME>/psft_dpk_work/psft_dpk_setup_<PID>.log, where <ROOT_HOME> is the home directory for the root user running the script, and <PID> is a process ID.
After the script completes successfully, log out and log in as a non-root user to deploy the PeopleSoft environment.

If the script exits with an exception, follow the instructions to correct the error, then rerun the script.
