PeopleTools 8.53 Ren Server.

Hi,
I've got peopletools installed on a windows 7 laptop. I've got the Ren Server running and can run the block test. The PeopleSoft logo is visible as per: "The PeopleSoft gif in the upper left corner will not load if the page's URL is incompatible with the PeopleSoft Authentication Token; this is a normal feature of REN Server security."
So it appears the ren server URL and PeopleSoft token are OK.
However, I can't run the ping test as I get an access denied message.
Has anyone any suggestions!
Thanks,
Steve.

That particular issue usually occurs if you don't have authentication domain set up on your web server and/or REN server. Try the following:
1) If the authentication domain is not set up on the web server, do the following:
a. Navigate to PeopleTools > Web Profile > Web Profile Configuration > General tab -> Authentication Domain
b. Enter the authentication domain. Eg .oracle.com /* Note leading dot character */
2) If authentication domain is not set up on the REN server, do the following:
a. Navigate to PeopleTools > REN Server Configuration > REN Server Cluster > REN Server Cluster tab > Authentication Token
b . Enter the authentication token. Eg oracle.com /* Note there is **no leading dot character */
Also make sure you are using same protocol to access PeopleSoft application and REN server (in other words, if you log into PeopleSoft application using https, then you need to access REN server using https)

REN Server : Authentication Domain

Hi
Currently we are running PeopleSoft Financials with the Authentication Domain as the null string.
Due to this the following navigation path fails even though the REN Server Browser URL does not have the domain
PeopleTools -> REN Server COnfiguration - REN Server Cluster -> Ping Test
However, when i add the authentication domain i find that if i login into DEV peoplesoft instance and start an operation and open another browser session of UAT peoplesoft instance.
When i come back to the DEV peoplesoft instance browser session it prompts for userid password again.
The below are the steps
1. Set a non-null authentication domain
2. bounce the application/web servers
3. Open the browser session and connect to DEV peoplesoft instance
4. Open another browser session and connect to UAT peoplesoft instance
5. Come back to the DEV peoplesoft instance browser session
6. the DEV peoplesoft instance displays the peoplesoft login page prompting for userid and password
Can you please help me understand this phenomenon better?
Also currently in this peoplesoft instance the buffer test works fine but the ping test is not working.
So can you please let me know if the REN server is working fine or is there a better way to figure out if the REN server working
Thanks a lot for your patience

Hi Nicolas,
I have in a situation where i tried several times to change the REN server configuration, but i couldn't get the pop up window properly
REN server configuration in the PIA configured properly, Buffer test fine, REN url Ping is fine,
I am running a sample report to window and txt format, the pop-up window is continuously blinking, but after some time saying REN server not able to connect.
What could be the reason?

Error retrieving REN server URL from database

Getting the following error in MCFLOG1 and USQSRV1 log files. Checked all published REN solution guide, nothing really worked. REN server seems to be working though. Coming from loadbalancerURL.peoplesoft.com it pings and REN features work. Ren is set up using machine names though. If logging in directly to machinename.peoplesoft.com REN ping fails with Forbidden error, but that could be a caching issue. I am worried about the log files below and the app. server performance deterioration which may or may not be related.
We have machine1 with web/app (REN is configured there) and machine two with web/app on it. Also, there is an F5 load balancer in front of them. Any thoughts?

APPMSGARCH- Peopletools 8.44 SQL Server 2000 SP4

We are starting testing with the delivered application engine on our tools release 8.44.06 for FSCM. We have App Message data going back to Go Live which we manually deleted so that now we have just 4 months of Application Messages in our Test system.
We have run several tests using APPMSGARCH. Running just Cancelled messages which runs fairly fast, and the other with processes 'DONE' messages. DONE messages runs forever and with SQL Profiler open you don't see any statements running on the active SPID. We have inplemented the one fix GSC mentions but not much change.
Has anyone found this similar behaviour? We are going to try another run with tracing initiated, but it seems like something is either processing very slow or something is looping. Either way its running very inefficiently.
Appreciate insight

160,000 messages to be archived is a lot. And it could run forever.
I have sometimes use some "workaround" to process a huge number number of messages.
What you could do is :
1. create a clone table of your message table
2. move the done messages into that table
3. insert into the real message table from the temp table by rows set of n rows (n = a reasonnable number, i.e. 2,000)
4. run the archivemsg process for these messages

REN setup.

Hi All,
I am trying to setup REN server for my demo HCM instance. I have given the domain name (mydomain.com).
But when I try to boot the server it keeps on throwing some windows error. Can you please suggest what might be the possible reason/solution?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There is a known bug, in PeopleTools 8.51 that causes this issue. It is described in the following knowledge document:
Doc ID 1265418.1: REN Server Fails to Start in PeopleTools 8.51 Windows Environment. PSRENSRV_MMDD.LOG Logs Error "(FATAL) nskn: ns_sockpair(): 'win32 error code: 0'"
The solution to the problem is to:
1. Upgrade to PeopleTools 8.51.07 (or higher patch)
-or-
2. Install an App Server Domain (for your REN server) on a platform other than Windows

Error while booting the application server

CMDTUX_CAT:1685: ERROR: Application initialization failure
CMDTUX_CAT:827: ERROR: Fatal error encountered; initiating user error ha

I get the same error ( (ERROR) nssock: Cannot listen on host bin/ in port 7180. it may already be in use for AF_INET6) booting the domain on a SuSE Linux box. I switched the port to 7190 thinking it might be a conflict, but get the same message in the PSRENSRV log each time I boot the domain. Despite the fact that this error recurs in the logs, the service shows as listening on the port ... however RENSERV is not working at all ... test page ping can't find it.
update ... I'm all fixed up now. There were a series of unrelated items leading me down rabbit holes. The first of which was my domain was booting, and I could see the port was listening via netstat ... situations around the above error all involved a domain not booting. I was also receiving a "Error retrieving REN server URL from database" in PSUQSRV and PSMCFLOGs which was an erroneous message you get about REN when MCF is turned on. In the end it turns out this little demo web/app box was in a DMZ, and they missed a firewall rule for that port ... no one had run into anything that used REN until now. I set up a temp domain on a machine out of the DMZ that just does REN for now ... they're in the middle of a firewall migration and probably wouldn't be in maintenance mode for a demo system

Trouble launching extension-associated applications through WebLogic Web Server

We are using WebLogic 7.1 to do a simple document management system. We have a
servlet that generates HTML. The HTML contains a hyperlink to document that is
served through WebLogic Web Server, via a Web Application, and is located in the
application directory.
The problem is, when you click on the hyperlink, an application associated with
the extension (for example, Microsoft Word for .doc extension) is not launched.
Instead, the browser brings up the document in its raw form directly in the browser
window.
This feature works properly when you browse to other sites that contain hyperlinks
to Word Documents (Microsoft Word gets launched properly within the browser).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jay,
During my on going testing on our DR site, across all the issues which kind of fixed and working now – I have come across 1 which I am a little amazed with
While trying to run the ping and buffer on REN SERVER
ERROR 404 Page not found. Everything is set up perfectly to what I understand.
Env. – HR to portal .
Request goes to RPS passes the firewall goes to LB and to REN and so on along with that.
Initially the Setup was incorrect which is corrected now. Then LB was listening to desired port – which was not activated while RPS was brought up – we have fixed that. so for now LB listens to port.
We have bounced app/prcs and cleared cache. But when tried to ping test – 404 (page not found error )
I have checked config.xml / struts-config.xml and web.xml – jus to verify the document root and context is alrite. Looks Good.
Checked logs - No specific error.
HR – Websphere … RPS apache...
Portal – Weblogic
Tools - 8.49.18
App - 9.0 (HR)

SQL script to update details of Peoplesoft database

Hello all,
I'm a new DBA for a UK charity running both PS financials & HR that often needs to build test, training & dev instances from our production environments. Doing this currently requires a number of manual steps to update the various nodes & paths to those required for the new instance, and naturally I didn't become a DBA to do manual work ;-)
I'm looking to script these steps, but the PS schema being as it is, I'm not having a great deal of joy finding where the relevant data might be. If anyone had a script to do something similar, or could point me in the direction of the tables I'd be extremely grateful. The kind of things that we are currently having to do via the interface are:
Peopletools > Integration Broker > Integration Setup > Nodes
Peopletools > Security >Security Objects >Single Sign-on
Peopletools > Utilities > Administration > URLs
Peopletools > Integration Broker > Configuration > Quick Configuration > Integration Broker Domains
Peopletools > Portal > Node Definitions
Peopletools > Ren Server Configuration > Ren Server Cluster
We are running MS SQL Server, but any PL SQL scripts would be great - I just need to know which tables hold the data.
Many thanks,
Andy

Well, it is very Peopletools version dependant.
An easy way could be to open to corresponding page you are talking about, then view the page definition and the associated record. At least this is what I use to do.
Then you update the background table and see if it is taking your new values.
To be short, here an extract of those tables (non-limited list, on PT.48) :
Single sign-on tructed node : pstrustnodes
Process scheduler definition : ps_serverdefn
Run control : psprcsruncntl
Message channels : pschnldefn
Messaging tables contents : psapmsgpub*, psapmsgsub*, psapmsgarc*
Message node definition : psmsgnodedefn
URL : psurldefn
Job definition : ps_prcsjobdefn
OPRID (email address) : psoprdefn
Then you should complete your own list with the method I gave above.

Hi,Nicolas
Before I booted up the app server ,I set the environment variable PS_CFG_HOME to /appfs/people/opt/PS/PS_CFG_HOME,and the above error occured,but when I unset the PS_CFG_HOME,it booted up successfully.But another error occured when booted up :

It seems OK,But when I tested the 3-tier connection :
It prompted: Could not connect to appliaction server HCMAPP.possible causes are:the server name/IP address and port for the application server alias are incorrect....
Contect your system administrator to check the Tuxedo log for more information
But I can sign on the database using Application Designer,and app server already booted up.
Additional ,the Tuxedo and Weblogic were installed within different directorys,does it matter?
Do you need more configuration info?
Thanks for you to reply my questions ~

Show document in peolpesoft

hi,
i am writing in a document .txt in applcation engine.at the end of my program i want to show this data in the web browser.
is there any function or possibility to show this data in a web page.
sincerly.

You can configure REN server to show your reports as soon as the process is completed / you can use some PeopleCode functions also to display the file, example viewURL function.

IBM TWS Tivoli and PT 8.53 Issue

After upgrading our tools from 8.49 to 8.53, our IBM TWS Tivoli batch scheduling tool has stopped working. The information we have at this point from IBM is that PT 8.53 is not supported and the TWS psagent will NOT work with PT 8.53 (see end of this post for error logs from IBM TWS)
We made sure TWS has the latest psjoa.jar from PS 8.53. that jar file is needed by TWS and used by the psagent to connect to PROCESSREQUEST CI and schedule needed jobs. Does anyone outhere know of a solution or workaround to enable IBM TWS to work with PT 8.53? thanks!
2013-06-14 13:11:04.244-05:00   IBM TWS4PS psagent <TWSserver XXXXXX>IP XXXXXX The connection to the server "PT 8.53 appserver xxxx" for user "USERid xxxx" has failed.
2013-06-14 13:11:07.592-05:00   IBM TWS4PS psagent <TWSserver XXXXXX> IP XXXXXX PeopleSoft ,message : PeopleTools release (8.52.03) for web server/ Application Designer '' is not the same as Application Server PeopleTools release (8.53.02). Access denied. .
2013-06-14 13:11:07.603-05:00   IBM TWS4PS psagent <TWSserver XXXXXX> IP XXXXXX The method failed to submit and monitor the PeopleSoft process to completion due to a connection failure.

We have already tried checking the jar version and it is what we are expecting it to be. 8.53.02. We have been working with Oracle support and below is one for their feedback and suggestion. we are working on implementing the work around but no success yet. Will keep you posted!
I am not surprise to hear that a third party software is NOT certified to run with PT 8.53 if they use CI java API. Main reason is PT 8.53 start to required JRE 1.7, PT 8.50-8.52 required JRE 1.6. So if a third party is still running on JRE 1.6, but not yet upgrade to JRE 1.7, then they would NOT be certified with PT 8.53. I guess that's probably why IBM said their TWS product does not support PT 8.53
If a third party can not upgrade their JRE, they won't be able to use the new psjoa.jar provided in PT 8.53, as that has been re-compiled for JRE 1.7. And they also can not use an old psjoa.jar from old tools, otherwise, will get the error as reported here.
There is a possible workaround for this, to let an old tools psjoa.jar be able to connect to the new tools release, for more details, please see below
PLEASE NOTE: the below workaround is provided AS IS, GSC does not support on any later issue raised by using an old version of psjoa.jar connecting to a new release of tools. So your 3rd party should upgrade their java to the certified java 7 release by PT 8.53. Also, note that there are other considerations, and the workaround will not work for some PeopleTools release combinations.
As a temporary workaround, you may try the following (example is shown for a scenario in which 3rd party application uses Java 6, and is trying to connect to a PeopleTools 8.53 system which requires Java 7):
Use the "old" working version of psjoa.jar (e.g. from PT 8.51 and above) from your 3rd party program that uses java 6
Make a copy of pstools.properties file from the PIA installation subdirectory. The location on pre-PT 8.50 would be %PEOPLE_TOOLS_HOME%\webserv\%PIA_DOMAIN%\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL\WEB-INF\psftdocs\ps. On pt 8.50 and later it is under PS_HOME (for example, %PEOPLE_TOOLS_HOME%\webserv\%PIA_DOMAIN%\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\WEB-INF\psftdocs\ps). Put the properties file in the correct directory so the 3rd party application will find it in its CLASSPATH.
NOTE: The location that pstools.properties is placed is important, and the location it needs to be placed in depends on the type of Java application, e.g. console program or web application, etc. You will likely need to test different locations to ensure it is being picked up by the 3rd party application at runtime.
Below the last line in the pstools.properties file add a new line with the exact PeopleTools release the application server is on. Below is a sample for pt 8.53.03.
tools_rel=8.53.03
Hope the above help, and clarify your issue.

Displaying a pdf file generated off a sqr process immediately

I have a need to run a sqr process which generates a pdf file/csv file to the user immediately on completion w/o going to the various folders.
Can you please share any ideas ?
I will have to create a process request, wait for the the process to complete and then serve the pdf file once complete. Off course I will have to provide for the possibility that the process fails or does not start.
I want the report to open in a new window. Is it simple as accessing the cdm table and building a url and using using view content url ?
While the application is waiting, I also need to send a message to the user that the process is running.

PeopleSoft already delivers this functionality, but in order to use it you have to configure a REN server and grant some permissions first. Look at article ID 659008.1 - REN Server Basic Configuration Steps on Oracle Support for instructions on how to set this up.
With this setup, you can select an Output Type of "Window" when submitting a process, and a new window will open immediately. The window will show the process status (Queued, Initiated, Processing, Error, etc.) until the process reaches Success status. At this point, the report will be opened automatically in this window.
Regards,
Bob

Run nVision report synchronously from with FieldChange

In PeopleCode you can run an AE or COBOL program synchronously using remote call functions.
Anyone know how to do this with an nVision report? I'd like to run an nVision report immediately in FieldChange but WAIT until output is ready. I also DON'T want to schedule it to batch as this takes too long.
Thanks
Graham

You could use CreateProcessRequest and then run it to the REN server. Is this what your looking for?
