PeopleSoft Oracle TruCluster Digital UNIX AlphaServer 4100 Digital

This document provides a comprehensive overview and detailed technical information regarding the interoperability testing results for the PeopleSoft Oracle TruCluster Production Server DIGITAL UNIX AlphaServer 4100 HiTest Suite. It serves as a guide for configuring a prequalified computer system designed for enterprise financial applications, ensuring high reliability, performance, and upgradability.

The suite encompasses PeopleSoft Financials (including Asset Management, General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and PSTools) and Oracle, running on DIGITAL UNIX AlphaServer 4100 systems within a TruCluster environment. The document details the hardware and software components, their revision levels, and meticulous installation and setup procedures. These procedures cover SCSI controller configuration, disk storage (configured as RAID-5 sets), UNIX kernel parameter tuning, Distributed Raw Disk (DRD) service setup, Oracle initialization parameter optimization, and specific tablespace configurations.

Interoperability testing was successfully performed across the PeopleSoft Financials modules, confirming that business processes functioned as expected. Performance data, including transaction response times for various business functions and sample query statistics, are presented to illustrate system performance. Furthermore, the document candidly discusses problems encountered during testing, such as issues with PeopleSoft software compilation (Microfocus COBOL, Oracle library locations), Oracle software group ownership, PeopleSoft Process Scheduler batch processing failures, and application data integrity. Corresponding resolutions and workarounds are provided for each identified problem. The target audience includes sales representatives, customers, technical support, and installation personnel.
