Changes and Additions

These sections correspond to the tasks in the PeopleTools 8.55 installation guides for your database
platform.

Installing the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture on

IBM WebSphere in Console Mode
This amends the section Installing the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture on IBM WebSphere in Console
Mode in the chapter Setting Up the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture in Console Mode.
If you are installing on Oracle Solaris 11 on SPARC, you may see a java OutofMemoryException error. To
avoid the error, carry out these steps before beginning the installation of the PeopleSoft Pure Internet
Architecture:
1. Open this file with a text editor, such as vi:

PS_HOME/setup/PsMpPIAInstall/scripts/waspiainstall.xml
2. Locate the section for wsadmin:
<wsadmin command=" " profile="${jython.file}" conntype="SOAP"
failonerror="true"> </wsadmin>
3. Add the following argument at the end of the section:
<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m"/>
Sample before change:
<target name="run-wsadmin-appdeploy" depends="set-auth-token">
<!-- call the jython script to deploy app and configure server -->
<wsadmin command=" " profile="${jython.file}" conntype="SOAP"
failonerror="true">
<arg value="${pia.profile.name}" />
<arg value="${peoplesoft.ear.name}" />
<arg value="${ps.home}" />
<arg value="${machine.name}" />
<arg value="${pia.http.port}" />
<arg value="${pia.https.port}" />
<arg value="${psemhub.http.port}" />
<arg value="${psemhub.https.port}" />
<arg value="${install.type}" />
<arg value="${auth.cookie.domain.new}" />
</wsadmin>
</target>
Sample after change, with added text in bold:
<target name="run-wsadmin-appdeploy" depends="set-auth-token">
<!-- call the jython script to deploy app and configure server -->

Creating PeopleSoft Database Roles (Multitenant

Architecture)
This amends the section Creating PeopleSoft Database Roles (Multitenant Architecture) in the chapter
Creating a Database Manually on Windows in the PeopleTools 8.55 installation guide for Oracle. The
psroles.sql and psroles2.sql scripts should be run with sysdba permission, as follows:
To create the roles for your PeopleSoft database:
1. Log on to SQL*Plus, connecting as sysdba.
sqlplus / as sysdba
2. Run the PSROLES.SQL script:
sqlplus>@<PS_HOME>\scripts\nt\pdb\psroles.sql
3. Run the PSROLES2.SQL script:
sqlplus>@<PS_HOME>\scripts\nt\pdb\psroles2.sql

Updating Database to Latest PeopleTools Release

This amends the section Updating Peopletools System Tables in the chapter Completing the Database
Setup in the PeopleTools 8.55 installation guide for Oracle. The psroles.sql script should be run with sysdba
permission. The amended steps are as follows:
Multitenant (step 5):
If the application database you are installing is 8.54 or lower, you are using Oracle 12c or higher, and you are
using multitenant architecture, re-run the scripts to create the PeopleSoft database roles.
This will grant additional privileges to enable use of the Oracle in-memory feature in Oracle 12c and restrict
certain privileges to the Access ID.
1. Open PS_HOME\scripts\nt\pdb\psroles2.sql for editing and replace the variable
<PDB_SERVICE_NAME> with the PDB database name.
2. Log on to SQL*Plus, connecting as sysdba.

sqlplus / as sysdba
3. Run the PSROLES.SQL script:
sqlplus>@PS_HOME\scripts\nt\pdb\psroles.sql
4. Run the PSROLES2.SQL script:
sqlplus>@PS_HOME\scripts\nt\pdb\psroles2.sql
5. Run the following SQL command, substituting your access ID:
grant PSADMIN to ACCESSID
Non-multitenant (step 6):
If the application database you are installing is 8.54 or lower, you are using Oracle 12c or higher, and the
database is non-multitenant, re-run the script to create the PeopleSoft database roles.
This will grant additional privileges to enable use of the Oracle in-memory feature in Oracle 12c and restrict
certain privileges to the Access ID.
1. Log on to SQL*Plus, connecting as sysdba.
sqlplus / as sysdba
2. Run the PSROLES.SQL script:
sqlplus>@PS_HOME\scripts\nt\psroles.sql
3. Run the following SQL command, substituting your access ID:
