12 PUM Overview 12

13 PUM Overview PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) New Lifecycle Management tool to apply application maintenance. Main Menu > PeopleTools > Lifecycle Tools PeopleSoft Update Image (PI) Application Maintenance is applied from the PI to a target environment. The images are released 4 to 5 times a year. One Change Package - PUM defines one custom change package to apply all maintenance from the PI to the target environment. This significantly reduces the amount of time and effort since only one as opposed to many change packages need to be applied. 13

14 Types of Patches PeopleSoft Update Image (PI) A VirtualBox virtual machine that is posted to Oracle Support on a regular basis. The PI contains the latest maintenance for the application release. PeopleSoft Release Patchset (PRP) PRPs are sometimes needed between regularly released PIs. These are for critical fixes that cannot wait until the next image is posted. These fixes must be applied to a specific PI. Proof of Concept (POC) - These rare patches are created only for escalated, critical reasons. A POC patch is posted and available only for a single customer in a passwordprotected patch. You apply this patch directly to the customer environment, bypassing the PI. 14

15 PUM Software and Infrastructure 15

16 PUM Software and Infrastructure Virtual Box PeopleSoft Virtual Machine Software: Oracle Virtual Box PeopleSoft Update Image OS: Oracle Linux Oracle Database Weblogic Web Server Tuxedo Middleware Secure Enterprise Search COBOL not included Software Oracle Client PeopleTools Client install for Oracle Database 16

17 Software and Infrastructure PSEM PeopleSoft Environment Management (PSEM) Framework (Optional as of PT8.54, Not used for Maintenance History as of PT8.53). PSEM Agents are set up on PeopleSoft servers to crawl the disks looking for PeopleSoft installations. The PSEM Agents listen on a pre-defined port for requests to shut down, perform a re crawl, or to deploy new SQR s, COBOL s etc... from the Change Assistant to servers. PSEM Hub gathers and reports on all of the environment information that the PSEM Agents send it. PSEM Hub resides on the web server PSEM Viewer is the component that extracts the information from the PSEM Hub and puts it into an XML file so you can read it with a browser. 17

18 Software and Infrastructure Lifecycle Tools > Update Manager Selectively choose maintenance and create a Change Package for the Change Assistant to apply PeopleSoft Change Assistant Standalone, Windows based, Java program that applies PeopleSoft application maintenance, upgrades or patches 18

21 Strategy and Architecture PSEM Minimize use of PeopleSoft Environment Management (PSEM) Framework. PSEM file distribution ( file copy ) has poor performance Issues with PSEM are difficult to troubleshoot. Various cache directories in Change Assistant Hubs and Agents need to be deleted to reset PSEM to crawl correctly Environment PSEM Strategy Deploy main environment HUB on Web Server Deploy HUB agents only on Database, File and Batch Servers. NOTE: Each agent must be giving a unique port assignment within all HUB Agents Use File Comparison Utility to Sync PS_HOME, PS_APP_HOME directories on different servers. 21

23 Strategy and Architecture - PSEM Cache Issues E-PUM: How to Refresh and CleanUp the Environment Management Hub on a PUM IMAGE (PSEMHUB) (Doc ID ) The Global Customer Support group has also identified the following situations in which you should perform the following steps to refresh and cleanup the Environment Management Hub (PSEMHUB) data. This is similar to clearing cache. This list is not complete, however, it covers the most common reasons the cleanup should be done. 1) After applying a Maintenance Pack (MP). MPs deliver a 2) After applying a PeopleTools patch. Older PeopleTools 3) If you are receiving a warning for most file deploys or during the 4) Change Assistant may hang on re-validation if the 5) Change Assistant is reporting that you need to apply 6) Java errors may occur when running jobs in Change Assistant 7) After power outages, sometimes Change Assistant will not restart. 8) If following message appear in PSEMAgent log or console 9) If an upgrade has 23
