I have an experimental Oracle Linux VM that I am playing with, and I am going to want to try to run some desktop applications inside the image.  So, I want to enable the X Window Graphical Environment.

Here’s the command to install it all:

yum groupinstall “X Window System” (more...)

I know it hasn’t been supported for a while now, but I have been using some 32-bit hardware for testing non-production, non-critical stuff in PeopleSoft for a while now.  It’s been okay for just playing around.  While the 64-bit was certified, all of the Windows binaries were still actually 32-bit. (more...)

I have been reading up on PeopleSoft’s new Update Delivery model.  It sounds very interesting, but one of the things that I caught was the fact that they will be delivering a Virtual Machine on Virtual Box where you can extract the updates that you need.  You can watch a (more...)

This is a continuation of my Windows 8 PeopleSoft Installation.  Previously, I installed WebLogic.  In this step, I plan to create the application server, batch server, and web server.  After this step, we should be able to log into PeopleSoft.

Setting the Environment Variables

Before running anything, we need to (more...)

This post is a continuation of my installation of PeopleSoft on a Windows 8 Beta installation.  Previously, I installed Tuxedo.  This post is about the JRockit JVM.  In PeopleTools 8.52, you might be able to get away with using the Regular Oracle Sun JVM, but WebLogic seems designed to (more...)

This is a continuation of the Windows 8 install.  Previously, I installed the JRockit JVM.  In this post, I am installing the WebLogic web server.  This is the middleware that makes the PIA work.  The PIA is actually created from the psadmin utility, and I’ll do that in a later (more...)

This is a quick blurb about an installation problem that I ran into.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get screenshots grabbed or exact error messages written down, but maybe this will still help.

The first problem was that near the end of the PeopleTools 8.53 Installer, the program gave me a (more...)

In case you haven’t already noticed, PeopleTools 9.2 is out and available for download!  You can download it from edelivery.

Today, I received this error in the Excel to CI Macros:

Compile Error: Can’t find project or library

It seems to be pointing to a “sToolBarTemplateActions”.

Thanks to the help of Srinivas Reddy, I think I found the problem.

Basically, what seems to have caused the problem for me was (more...)

I ran across Andrej Koelewijn’s article about Vagrant over a year ago, and I have been wanting to explore it ever since.  I do a lot of playing around with different things, and Vagrant looked like it would be a cool, quick way to spin up a new image of an OS.  I would love to get it to the point of being able to spin up an instance of PeopleSoft.  I am no where near there now, though.

This is just my first run through.  I set an easy goal of trying to get Oracle XE running on Ubuntu (more...)
