Setup the PeopleSoft Application and Web Tier
Set up the foundation for your middle tier architecture.
Set Up an OS Group and User
Create the OS group and user on all Oracle Linux middle tier compute instances.
Configure OCI File Storage Service for Shared Homes
Mount your OCI File Storage file systems on each middle tier server, using the IP address for your file system.
Create the PeopleSoft Software Directory Structure
/u01/app/psft/pt. PeopleSoft requires that you map several
environment variables to this directory structure. In addition, there's one environment
variable for custom scripts needed to automate startup, shutdown, and switchover
activities.Create PeopleSoft Directories for Multi-Node Deployments
Create the file
system directories to hold the PeopleSoft configuration and infrastructure log files. When
designing this implementation, we created local, non-shared file system directories on each
middle tier VM to hold the PeopleSoft configuration and infrastructure log files. In each
case, set PS_CFG_HOME to the local directory
/peoplesoft/local/ps_config.
Everything else is shared and is copied over from the on-premises system. To do this,
create the head of the installation directory path for the PeopleSoft software
install on shared disk, then create the child psft_reports
directory. The other child directories are created when we copy over the contents.
You'll refresh the contents of all child directories when you do a final switchover
to this environment from the on-premises systems.
Setup the Host Environment on OCI Compute Instances
Before configuring the
application server, process scheduler, and PeopleSoft Internet Architecture (PIA)
web server domains, you must create an environment file for the user
psadm2.
ORACLE_HOSTNAME correctly for each server.
Note:
We have added a directory to hold new administrative scripts required by this project, and have created an export directive for the new directory as well as adding it to our path. We assume these scripts are in place and in the path when we describe actions later in this document.
The following is the environment file
(psft.env) from one of our compute
instances:

cdInstall MicroFocus COBOL
MicroFocus COBOL (Visual COBOL for later released versions) is a separately licensed software package that contains the COBOL compiler and run-time environment plus the run-time license manager. All compute instances that host the process scheduler (PRCS) must have the MicroFocus COBOL compiler, run-time environment, and license manager installed.
