PeopleSoft 9.2 – PeopleTools 8.58 VirtualBox Installation（三）PeopleTools Installation-天煜博客

So, if you’ve come this far, you should be able to access the PeopleSoft home page without any issues

In this post, let us look at installing PeopleTools. First, you’d have to access the files required for the PeopleTools installation.

These are available on a Samba Network Share. You can access them by providing your virtual machine’s IP address. In this case, the IP address is 192.168.1.116.

If you’re on an earlier version of Windows 10, you should be able to access the Samba share without any issues by accessing it via the run prompt:

But with newer versions of Windows 10, you’re more likely to get the following prompt to enter your computer’s user name and password:

Regardless of what you enter against the username and password fields, it is likely that you get the message “the user name or password is incorrect“. There are various options out there from “Turn On Network Discovery” to “Turning Off Password Authentication for Network Shares” and “Editing the Registry”. Unfortunately, none of them seem to work. If you know of a way to get it working, please leave a comment and I’ll include it in this post.

So, what can you do now to access the shares? There’s an alternative. You can access the files via WinSCP by connecting to the Linux server.

Download and install WinSCP from here. Once installed, access the application and follow the steps provided below:

Click on the New Session button

In the window that opens, click on New Site, enter the Linux Host name, username as root and password for the root user : click on Login once done

You’d get the following message – click on Yes

The right pane of your WinSCP window will now look like this

Press Ctrl + O and paste this path /opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools_client
The directory and its contents would look like this

You can copy these folders to your PC which is on the left pane of WinSCP, by dragging and dropping them into a folder of your choice(on your PC)
Open a new cmd session in Administrator mode and navigate to the tools_client folder

C:\Users\MANIKANDAN>cd tools_client

Your prompt should now look like this:

C:\Users\MANIKANDAN\tools_client>

Type SetupPTClient.bat and press enter
Once the batch script starts executing, you’ll start getting the following messages along with the Oracle Client installation – type N for the first prompt, if you’re setting it up on your PC. The rest is all automatic:

If the installation goes through without any issues, your prompt would look like this

So far so good! Now lets get the Application Designer and other 2-tier tools installed.

If installation completed without any issues, your PT client will be available against C:\PT8.58.03_Client_ORA
Open the PS Configuration Manager [pscfg] from C:\PT8.58.03_Client_ORA\bin\client\winx86
It looks like this:
Double-click on the pscfg file
Provide the database name as configured, User ID as “PS” or as configured, connect ID as people and the password that you had provided during the initial setup for people
Click on the Client Setup tab and select all options as displayed below, click on Apply and then OK

From your tools_client folder, now copy the tnsnames.ora file and paste it under the network folder in your Oracle Home directory
- In this case, from C:\Users\MANIKANDAN\tools_client to C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\client_1\network\admin or C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\client_2\network\admin
Access Application Designer from the Start Menu

In the window that appears, database and username should be pre-populated – enter the password

If this is the first time that you’re accessing Application Designer, it would take a while – it is worth the wait!
The App Designer window looks like this:

That brings us to the end of this post. Let’s look at querying the database(using SQL developer) and setting up Putty in the next post.
