Understanding PSADMIN Configuration Files

You can create, configure, and boot an application server domain from the PSADMIN interface or through its command-line options.

The configuration and data files on which the executables rely all reside in PS_CFG_HOME\appserv\domain_name. Each domain has its own set of these files:

• PSAPPSRV.CFG

  This is the catch-all configuration file that contains the entire collection of configuration values for a given application server domain.

• PSAPPSRV.UBX

  This is the template or model file for the PSAPPSRV.UBB file. This is where the system stores environment settings after being edited through PSADMIN.

• PSAPPSRV.UBB

  This file stores and passes all of the domain values to the Tuxedo load configuration program (tmloadcf.exe).

• PSAPPSRV.PSX

  This is the template or model file specifically for the messaging server configuration sections.

• PSAPPSRV.ENV

  This contains environment information, such as the PS_HOME referenced by a domain.

• PSAPPSRV.VAL

  This contains the format specification for the configuration parameters and, for some parameters, a set of valid values that can assigned. This helps to prevent administrators from entering invalid values.

• PSTUXCFG

  This contains PeopleSoft and Tuxedo information regarding the location of executables, files, and command lines for server processes. This file is required to boot a domain.

• JREPOSITORY

  This file contains a list of the services handled by the application server on behalf of Jolt.

Note:

Oracle does not support creating custom configuration files, such as CFX or UBX templates, nor modifying delivered templates. However, modifying PSAPPSRV.CFG and PSPRCS.CFG can be done through PSADMIN or manually through a text editor.
