PeopleSoft Installation Using DPK's - Part 3

Till now, we have finished all the installations and started all the services.

To access the PIA we have to open firewall port 8000

Go to cloud console.  

In the target tags mention peoplesoft. This tag we will use on the instance also.

Click on create

We can see that new firewall rule has been created.

Again open the instance

Add peoplesoft to network tags.

Save the changes.


To access the PIA we will deactivate the default domain name.

Navigate to /home/psadm2/psft/8.55/webserv/peoplesoft/applications/peoplesoft/PORTAL.war/WEB-INF

Open file weblogic.xml

sudo vi weblogic.xml

Blank out the <cookie-domain> value

To modify the above file

sudo vi weblogic.xml

Press i

Apply the changes

Press Esc key

Type :wq and hit return key

Reboot the web server and access PIA

http://<ip address>:8000/psp/ps/?cmd=login

To access the database create a new firewall rule to open port 1522.

The steps will be same as we have done above to open http port 8000.

To establish connectivity from database and application designer, get the tnsentry from the vm instance.

Navigate to /home/psft/db

View the tnsentry.ora file

Copy the tnsentry contents and paste it to your local machine

Usually it should be under F:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\client_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

Modify the host to reflect the IP address of you instance.

Login to application designer. So, you should have already installed PeopleTools client to you local PC.

Remotely Accessing the VM Instance

If you want to remotely connect to your VM instance from Putty or winscp etc. then perform the following steps.

Create a public - private key pair using puttykegen

Click on the Generate button and move the cursor on the space above.

Once done, click on “Save Public key” and “Save private key” to save the keys.

Copy the public key contents as highlighted below.

Open google cloud console, click on the instance and scroll down to add the above SSH key.

Save the changes.

Now, open putty.

Save the changes.

Now, go to SSH under Connection

Enter the private key file which we have saved above.

Save the changes.

Click Open to connect.
