Understanding the Mid-Tier Software Installation

Use this option to install PS_HOME and the software required for mid-tier deployment, without deploying the PeopleSoft domains. The deployment includes the following:

PS_HOME installed to the default location under the DPK base directory
Oracle Tuxedo installed to the default location under the base directory
Oracle WebLogic installed to the default location under the base directory

Note:

This is an Oracle 19c Database Client. The client can be used with the Oracle Database releases that are supported for the current PeopleSoft PeopleTools release. See the Certifications for PeopleSoft PeopleTools on My Oracle Support.
The Microsoft Windows DPKs include Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio, which include required Microsoft C++ runtime libraries

The script requires the following information:

Database platform type
