Working with PeopleSoft Utilities and Programs for Root Deployments on Linux

When you run the DPK setup script with the default initialization, the script installs, configures and starts a single Application Server, a single Process Scheduler, and a single PIA domain. After the root user completes the deployment of the PeopleSoft environment using the DPK setup script DPK_INSTALL/setup/psft-dpk-setup.sh, in order to carry out operations on the PeopleSoft environment such as stopping and starting the DPK-created domains, or creating additional domains with PSADMIN, the root user must start a new shell session, and sign in with the DPK-created user psadm2.

When you first sign in as psadm2, the system sources the PS_HOME/psconfig.sh script. Sourcing the psconfig.sh script sets environment variables such as TUXDIR, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which are needed to run PeopleSoft utilities and programs. Sourcing the psconfig.sh script sets the environment variables for the current session in the current shell, so that the programs and utilities you run in that shell inherit the environment variables.

Similarly, to carry out operations using programs owned by the DPK-created users psadm1 or psadm3, sign in to a shell as those users.
