To access the PUM home page, you would be required to log in to MOS.

Hardware Support

You would need around 150 GB of HDD space to download, extract the zips and
initialise the VM. After this is done, you may remove some files (more on this later)
to recover space. You would also need a 64-bit processor and a 64 bit OS.

Downloading the image

1. Navigate to PUM home page by clicking this link

2. The second tab you see is PeopleSoft Update Image Home Pages. In the drop
down menu that appears when you hover your mouse on the second tab, select the
application you are after. I’m selecting FSCM Update Image Home Page.
3. On the FSCM update image home page, on scrolling down, you would see a table
listing links to images. Click on PeopleSoft FSCM Update Image link. This one was
posted on 6th March 2015. When you check out this page, you might have a newer
one.

4. This would open a new window listing the patch 20355668. This might be
different for you. Click on the patch name to expand it and click on the download
button towards the right of the page.
5. A window pops up and prompts you to accept the license agreement. On the next
screen, the list of files that need to be downloaded are shown.

6. I used a Firefox plugin called DownThemAll to download all the files onto my
laptop. It took me several hours to download. You may want to read this post on
PeopleSoft Tipster for a speedy download.
In the next page, you will see how these zip files can be extracted and then combined
to get the OVA file.

Hi Rakesh, thanks a lot for the useful article. Its very clear and precise.
I have followed all your steps and installed Peoplesoft, Oracle client and People Tools.
All are working very good but my peoplesoft is very slow. It is taking me very long to
open a page. Please help me fix this.
I have tried restarting the system. Have allocated 2GB ram for the machine. My laptop
config is:
8GM RAM, i5 processor, Windows 7 and 1TB HDD.

 Rakesh Subhagan #

Hi Ravi,
Happy to know that the article was useful.
2GB is very low for the VM which could be making it slow.
Try allocating more memory to the VM

REPLY

Dharmendra Gohil #

Hi Rakesh,
Even I also allocated 2 GB RAM for VM. What is your
Recommendation. I do have my laptop with 8 GB RAM.
Regards,
Dharmendra Gohil

REPLY

Rakesh Subhagan #

Hi Dharmendra,
I would prefer having 16 GB RAM on my laptop
with 8 GB allocated to the VM.
If your laptop has only 8GB, try allocating 4GB to
the VM and see how the performance is.

Rakesh Subhagan #

Hi Paritosh,
Your OVA file seems to be corrupt.
Open your ova_gen.bat file in a text editor and check if the ZIP file paths
are correct.
After verifying this, try regenerating the OVA file and then import.
If this doesn’t solve the issue, you may have to download the files again.

Hello Paritosh, were you able to solve this issue not being able

Thanks

Paritosh #

Hi Rajesh,
I am able to create .OVA and imported it in VMbox. The instance is also created and I
can boot appserver / webserver using PSADMIN command.
However the front end PIA link is not working. I can ping the IP address from
VM but when I ping it from local machine it wont respond.
I am also not able to access 192.168.56.101 through network folder.
Please help.

REPLY

Rakesh Subhagan #

Hi Paritosh,
You should be using the IP you’d noted down in step 11. If you hadn’t
noted it down, fire up your VM, in it’s command prompt type ip addr and
use the ip shown against eth0.

REPLY

Paritosh #

Hi,
I have regenerated the OVA file and imported it successfully through VM box.
I am also able to follow the above mentioned steps and can access
Appserver/Webserver through PSADMIN command.
However the front end link is still not coming up. I can ping the IP address from VM
box but not from my local machine.
Please help.

Mark Schumann #

Thank you for the great article. Is there a way to start psconfig to view and / or edit the
app server and process scheduler configuration files?

REPLY

Rakesh Subhagan #

Hi Mark,
This post takes you through installing tools –
http://www.psoftsearch.com/install-peopletools/
You can then invoke the Configuration Manager.
You can use PSADMIN from the VM’s command prompt to manage App
Server and Process Scheduler.
To do this, switch to psadm2 using the command sudo su – psadm2
Then navigate to the appserv folder using the command cd
/opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/appserv
Then you can invoke psadmin

Hi Rakesh,
After I downloaded the ZIP files, upon extracting the Part 1, I am not seeing any
ova_gen bat file. What could have happened? Pls help.
Thanks

REPLY
 Rakesh Subhagan #

Hi KK,
It’s usually within the new folder that’s created when you unzip the file.
This batch file will then have to be placed in the same folder as all other
zip files.
If this is not the case, please make sure that you’d unzipped the correct zip
file with the name ending with 1of12.

I checked all the zipped files none of the files contains

ova_gen.bat file. Can you help me with this?
