PeopleSoft Job Reports

PeopleSoft Jobs can produce additional, PeopleSoft-specific reports if you activate the Store to: Database option in the Job Report section on the PeopleSoft page. For more information, see PeopleSoft Jobs.

By default, these Job reports contain the following information:

  • Command line output of the PeopleSoft process
  • Status
  • Return code
  • Session ID
  • Start and end times
  • Messages

The process log from the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Batch Server can also be displayed. This requires certain prerequisites to be met. For more information, seeInstalling the Agent for PeopleSoft (Windows).

PeopleSoft Process Log File

The directory in which the log files are stored is specified in the psprcs.cfg configuration file of the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Batch Server (Section [Process Scheduler]). The Agent retrieves the name of the directory and log file from this configuration file. It transfers the log file to the Automation Engine, which stores it in the AE database.

Log/Output Directory=%PS_SERVDIR%\log_output

As an environment variable is used in the example shown above, this environment variable must also be set in the Agent. It contains the complete path specifications of the directory.

PS_SERVDIR="C:\Psoft\HR800\appserv\prcs\PSHR800"

System administrator must define the path of the application server configuration file. Otherwise, the Agent cannot access it. The format is: Server name=File:

[PSCONFIG]

PSNT=\\psserv01\appserv\prcs\PSHR800\psprcs.cfg

PSUNX=\\psserv01\appserv\prcs\PSHR800\psprcs.cfg

An individual sub-directory is created in the retrieved directory of each PeopleSoft process. The name of this sub-directory is specified as follows:

<PID>_<Process name>_<Process request>

<PID>

Process identification (example: SQR).

<Process name>

Name of the process
Corresponds to the parameter PROCESSNAME= of PS_RUN_PROCESS.

<Process request>

Instance number of the process request.

Therefore, the directory name for the report that is previously shown as:

C:\Psoft\HR800\appserv\prcs\PSHR800\log_output\SQR_DDDAUDIT_100

The name of the log file is identical to the name of the subdirectory. The extension of the log file is LOG. The file name for the log file with all the path specifications for the PeopleSoft process is as follows:

C:\Psoft\HR800\appserv\prcs\PSHR800\log_output\SQR_DDDAUDIT_100\SQR_DDDAUDIT_100.log
