If we use SQL and Callsection at same time
then Database deadlock will occur.
Why does this Dead lock Occur?
When a SQL is run, there is a
lock on the table
by the database until that section is completed. If during that time there runs
some other process which will use the same table locked by our section using
call section, this process will fail.
What is Activity Type?
What is Cost Center? What is GAP Analysis? Explain
with real time scenario.
Activity type is the nature
of "action comitted or happened" and nature depends on the

Will Tuxedo continue to
be used in a PeopleSoft/WebSphere or PeopleSoft/WebLogic environment?
Yes. WebSphere or WebLogic are used as the HTTP server and servlet engine.
They are not used as middleware with the PeopleSoft Application Server. Tuxedo
is always used with PIA, regardless of the HTTP server or Java servlet engine.
Can a PeopleTools 8.4
and a PeopleTools 8.1x database run on the same machine?
Yes, databases can co-exist on the same physical machine. In most cases,
the databases themselves can exist within the same RDBMS, however, it is
important to verify that the database version required by PeopleTools 8.4 is
the same as for the current PeopleTools 8.1x implementation.
Can a PeopleTools 8.4
and a PeopleTools 8.1xapplication server run on the same machine?
Yes, both PeopleTools 8.4 and PeopleTools 8.1x application servers can run
on a single machine. It is important to ensure that there are no port clashes
between the installations.
How does the PeopleSoft
Enterprise Portal work with 8.1x and 8.4 applications?
There are several scenarios that may exist when customers use the
PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal with a mixture of 8.1x and 8.4 applications.
Specific information on the use of the PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal in a
blended environment will be available in a forthcoming white paper, which will
be available on Customer Connection. In general, the recommendation is to use
the PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal 8.4with 8.1x and 8.4 applications, rather than
an older version.
For the servlet layer
on the web server, what version of the Java Servlet API are the PIA Java
Servlets coded to with PeopleTools 8.4?
The PIA Java servlets in PeopleTools 8.4 are coded to JavaSoft's Java
Servlet API 2.0 and are fully compatible with Servlet API 2.2. It should be
noted that the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture is supported only on the BEA
WebLogic and WebSphere servlet engines.
IBM How should Web
Application Servers be used with PeopleTools 8.1x and PeopleTools 8.4?
The PeopleSoft Internet Architecture uses a web application server and an
HTTP server. PeopleTools 8.12 and above include both BEA WebLogic and Apache
with Jserv. With PeopleTools 8.4, both BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere are
bundled. Apache with Jserv is no longer a supported web application server
combination. Customers can choose which web application server to run during
installation time. In a mixed PeopleTools 8.1x and 8.4 environment, each
PeopleTools installation should have their own chain of web application server
and application server, PeopleSoft Proprietary and Confidential Page 5and these
can be on the same machine. For example, a PeopleTools 8.1xinstallation using
Apache and Jserv could reside on the same machine as a PeopleTools 8.4
installation using IBM WebSphere. Care should be taken to ensure that unique
port numbers are assigned to each server chain.
Why did PeopleSoft
bundle IBM WebSphere Advanced Single Server Edition rather than Advanced
Edition?
The Advanced Single Server Edition (AEs) of WebSphere provides the same core
J2EE and Web Services programming model as the Advanced Edition (AE) with
simplified administration. In the AE version WebSphere uses DB2 or other
standard database to keep the configuration and runtime information to support
very large farm of WebSphere servers. However, it is one more database to
install, administer and maintain. The AEs version does not use the database and
uses file based configuration in a way that is similar to BEA WebLogic.
PeopleSoft and IBM WebSphere architects determined that AEs version would
satisfy the deployment requirements of PeopleSoft customers and would make it
easy for owning and administering PeopleSoft Applications based on WebSphere.
Will the PeopleSoft
Internet Architecture, now that it embeds BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere, work
with my other corporate web servers and tools?
One of the core values of the PeopleTools development group is investment
protection. The time, money and resources that you may have already invested in
licensing another web server, training developers and administrators, building
and deploying other web applications will not be compromised by this decision.
How is this accomplished
Is BEA WebLogic the
same thing as the web server that was previously on the Tuxedo CD?
No. The web server that was delivered on the Tuxedo CD has absolutely
nothing to do with WebLogic. WebLogic is a web application server that is
designed for large-scale production websites. The HTTP server on the Tuxedo CD
was only there to provide a mechanism for launching the graphical Tuxedo
administration console if the Tuxedo administrator didn't already have a web
server in place. It was never intended for large-scale, production website use
— only for a system administrator or two.
Are disconnected mobile
applications supported in PeopleTools 8.1x?
No. The PeopleSoft Mobile Agent architecture, which is used to support
disconnected mobile applications, is only available in PeopleTools 8.4. The
PeopleSoft Mobile Agent is dependent upon certain core technologies that were
specifically developed for PeopleTools 8.4.
Is WebSphere certified
on PeopleTools 8.1x?
No. IBM WebSphere is certified on PeopleTools 8.4 only. Customer wishing to
use IBM WebSphere with PeopleTools 8.1x may take advantage of an IBM WebSphere
for early adopters program, created and managed by IBM. Further information
about this program can be found in the whitepaper The IBM WebSphere 8.1x Early
Adopter Program. Are there additional license requirements for IBM WebSphere
Are there advantages or
disadvantages to using BEA WebLogic over IBM WebSphere or vice versa?
No. Both products are certified with PIA as of version 8.4 and work equally
well. By offering both BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere, we give our customers
more choices and flexibility to run PeopleSoft in their preferred environment.
Is web server load
balancing supported with PeopleTools 8.4?
Customers can set up clusters of BEA WebLogic or IBM WebSphere servers to
do web server load balancing. In such scenarios, if an instance is down, requests
are automatically routed to another instance. For more information on high
availability and clustering with WebLogic, WebSphere and other web servers.
Both BEA WebLogic and
IBM WebSphere have the ability to plug into many different web servers. Does
PeopleSoft support the web servers that they plug into?
BEA and IBM provide plug-ins for many of the
leading web servers. This allows the customer to use their own HTTP web server
and WebLogic’s or WebSphere’s Java servlet engine. PeopleSoft uses this plug-in
capability to support IIS. We have no reason to believe that there will be any
issues with other web servers that WebLogic or WebSphere are able to work with
through their plug-in architecture, but PeopleSoft GSC will not support these
other web servers with PeopleTools 8.4
Does Application
Messaging work between 8.1xand 8.4 applications?
Application Messaging is used by PeopleSoft
applications to communicate with one another. This is true not just for 8.1x
and 8.4 applications, but also between an 8.1x and an 8.4 application. For
example, the HRMS 8.3 applications, which are based on PeopleTools 8.15, can
communicate with Financials 8.4applications, which are based on PeopleTools
8.4, using Application Messaging. If specific issues materialize relating to
the Application Messages published by certain applications, these new messages
will be made available to customers.
Why is PeopleSoft no
longer supporting Apache Jserv?
Apache JServ was a servlet engine that was
supported in PeopleTools 8.1x. This support has been removed from PeopleTools
8.4 for several reasons: v JServ is no longer an active product and is in
maintenance mode and there are no longer any new official releases. v Our
customers have exhibited a desire to use commercial products for
mission-critical enterprise web application servers rather than open source
solutions. Therefore, moving to support Tomcat is not seen as a reasonable
solution. v Apache can still be used as an HTTP server with BEA WebLogic .
What HTTP servers and
Java servlet engine combinations are supported with PeopleTools 8.4?
All popular http servers (reverse proxies) are
supported. Please refer to the platforms database on Customer Connection for
specific information on current certified platforms. You may find this at http://www.peoplesoft.com/corp/en/iou/platforms/index.asp
