Changing a Local System Account to a Network Account

When Oracle Tuxedo software is installed, the BEA ProcMGR Windows service is set up by default to be started by a local system account—a user account that does not have access to the Windows network. The service must be started by a network account if PeopleSoft Process Scheduler (or processes initiated through Process Scheduler):

• Uses a network printer.

• Accesses files from a network drive.

• Uses Microsoft Windows utilities, such as XCopy, that may access universal naming convention (UNC) paths.

To change an account to a network account:

1. Select Start, Settings, Control Panel.

2. Double-click Services.

   The Services dialog box appears.

3. Select BEA ProcMGR service.

4. Select Stop to stop the current BEA ProcMGR process.

5. Select Yes to change of status message.

6. Select Startup to modify settings.

   The BEA ProcMGR Service dialog box appears.

7. Select the Log On As This Account option.

8. Enter the domain and machine name in the This Account field.

   Note:

   When configuring the TUXEDO server, the user ID that is designated to be the Application Server Administrator must have read and write permissions to the PeopleSoft file directory and read permission to the %TUXDIR% directory, such as c:\tuxedo.

9. Enter the machine password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.

10. Click OK.

11. Click Start.

    A message in the Services dialog box indicates the Started status.

12. Click Close to return to the Control Panel.
