Installing the Agent for People Soft (Windows) - Basics

This document guides you through the new installation of a PeopleSoft agent.

Process scheduling in PeopleSoft is executed via PeopleTools  components. The PeopleSoft agent can be implemented for all versions of PeopleTools supported by AE. See:Requirements for Operating AE.

The following guide describes how to install an agent in an AE system in which authentication is not used. Additional installation steps are required before the agent can be started and used if you intend to use one of the available authentication methods. More detailed information is provided in the document Advanced Security.

Automic strongly recommends installing the agent in a separate directory (such as C:\AUTOMIC\AGENTS\PEOPLESOFT).

Requirements

• Valid Operator ID's for executing tasks in PeopleSoft

The additional requirements listed below must be fulfilled so that PeopleTools Process Scheduler Batch server process logs can be added to the AE databaseA database is an organized collection of data including relevant data structures.:

• Entry in the agent's INI file for transferring the log files to AE 
• Read permission for PeopleSoft process log files
• Read permission for the configurationA set of constituent components that make up a system. This includes information on how the components are connected including the settings applied. file of the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Batch Server
• Correct entry in the configuration file at the parameter "Log/Output Directory="  
• Agent knows the environment variable which might be used for "Log/Output Directory="

These are the requirements for using AE's Interface:

• The AE interface must have been loaded to the PeopleTools database, validated and authorized for full access with the Application Designer
• The AE interface must have been activated in the agent's INI file

Supplied Files

The directory IMAGE:AGENTS\PEOPLESOFT\WINDOWS. contains the necessary files.

The other files from this subdirectory are part of the installation program. The files of the AE Interface and how they are implemented is described in a separate document.

Technical Implementation

Component Interfaces (Java classes) can be used for connecting the agent to PeopleSoft/PeopleTools.

1) People Tools with AE Interface (Java Classes)

Accesses for job processing are made via the Java Classes of the supplied UC4_* component interfaces.

2) People Tools with Standard Interface (Java Classes)

Accesses for job processing are made via the Java Classes of the PROCESSREQUEST component interface.
