Field or Control Description

PIA Home

Ensure that the appropriate location is displayed. By default, PSADMIN installs the PIA domain into the PS_CFG_HOME environment setting.

Domain name

Enter the name for your domain, such as PeopleSoft_HR.

Web server

Accept weblogic as the web server type.

Web server root directory

Enter the location where you have installed your web server, such as D:\oracle\WebLogic.

Web server login id

Enter the administrative user ID for logging into the web server. This would be the same user ID you use to log in to the WebLogic Remote Console.

Web server password

Enter the password associated with the web server login ID.

Website name

Enter the name of the initial website, such as PSHR.

Note: Using PSADMIN you can only add one site. To add additional sites, you need to use the PsMpPIAInstall program.

Application server

Enter the application server host machine, such as SERVER01.

JSL port

Enter the JSL port on which the appropriate application server domain listens for Jolt requests.

HTTP port

Enter the HTTP port for your web server installation

HTTPS port

Enter the HTTPS port for your web server installation.

Authentication Token Domain

Enter the domain used for your authentication tokens, if implemented, such as .example.com.

See the product documentation for PeopleSoft 9.2 Application Installation for your database platform: "Setting Up the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture in GUI Mode," Using Authentication Domains in the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture Installation

See Portal Technology: Understanding the Authentication Domain.

Web profile

Choose the name of the web profile you intend to use. A web profile is a named group of configuration property settings that the portal applies throughout your PeopleSoft system to control all portal-related behavior. The web profile name will be used to configure this web site. You can specify one of the delivered web profiles, PROD, DEV, TEST, or KIOSK.

See Portal Technology: Configuring Web Profiles.

Web profile user ID

Enter the user ID associated with the web profile you've entered.

Web profile password

Enter the password associated with the web profile user ID.

Integration Gateway Id

Enter the integration gateway ID. The default is administrator.

Integration Gateway Password

Enter the password for the integration gateway ID.

AppServer Connection Password

Set the domain connection password, which is required for connecting to the application server domain. This modifies the DomainConnectionPwd setting in the configuration.properties file.

SSL Keystore password

Enter the SSL Keystore password, which is required for web servers and Integration Broker gateways in SSL-enabled environments. The password you enter is used for the default keystore. If you need to reset the password, use the pskeymanager utility.

See Implementing WebLogic SSL Keys and Certificates.

PeopleSoft reports directory

Specify the root directory for the Report Repository, where Process Scheduler writes report output. Make sure that the report repository directory is shared. The user that starts PIA must have write access to the Report Repository directory.

Replicating a Domain

Replicating a PIA domain enables you to copy a PIA domain configuration from another location into the current PS_CFG_HOME. This enables you to tune and configure a single PIA domain, and replicate that configuration in multiple locations. Or, you may simply need to move a configuration to a newer or different server.

Note:

You can copy domains from one operating system to another, as in from Windows to Linux.
