Editing the Service Configuration File

The Windows Services section of PSADMIN modifies the PSWINSRV.CFG file in the PS_CFG_HOME\appserv directory. You can edit the file directly by selecting 4 (Edit a Service Configuration File) from the PeopleSoft Services Administration menu. This opens the PSWINSRV.CFG file in a text editor, where you can enter and save your changes.

The following sections describe each parameter.

Service Start Delay

When a domain resides on the same machine as the database server, consider using the Service Start Delay setting. By using this feature, you can avoid the situation where the database server is booting and is not ready to process requests at the time that the service attempts to boot the domain. In this scenario, without a delay set, the connection fails.

You can configure a Service Start Delay parameter that specifies a delay, in seconds, that elapses before a service attempts to start any domains. This allows the RDBMS enough time to boot and become available to accept requests.

The default is 60 seconds.

Application Server Domains

Specify the names of the domains that you want to start automatically when you boot the application server machine.

If you specify multiple domains, separate each domain with a comma and a space.

Process Scheduler Databases

Enter the databases with which a Process Scheduler server is associated. For each database that you specify, the associated Process Scheduler server starts when you boot the Microsoft Windows server.

If you specify multiple databases, separate each database with a comma and a space.
