Re: Cobol directory

Praj 1258756285|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Forum / Help » Cobol directory

Hi Christian,

Could you provide some more information about what you mean by the place where is managed the link to our cobol? COBOLs are generally run through the PeopleSoft application through the process scheduler or through Remote Call via PeopleCode.

Remote call settings are configured in the application server configuration file (psappsrv.cfg) and by default it wil look for compiled COBOL files in:

• Windows: %PS_HOME%\cblbin[A/E/U] (A = non-unicode, E = EBDIC or U = unicode)
• Unix: %PS_HOME%\cblbin

These settings can be overridden.

Within the application, all you can really do in relation to COBOLs is to confirm that remote call is working through:

• PeopleTools > Utilities > Debug > PeopleTools Test Utilities

For COBOLs run through the process scheduler, you can check the configuration of the COBOL process types related to your process scheduler OS and database through:

• PeopleTools > Process Scheduler > Process Types

Re: Troubleshooting Process Scheduler Recurrences

What happens if you select the first date to be Nov 28? I wonder if it is looking at the date you select and finding the next date that isn't 1 day before the end of the month thus making it skip over November.

Hi,

Thanks in advance for your help. I have a recurrence set up with custom dates of the last day of each month -1. For 2009 I have only two dates left for this year, November 29 and December 30. When I try to schedule reports using this recurrence the instance is scheduled for December 30 and it skips November 29.

PeopleSoft and Active Directory

AOlson (guest) 1257435086|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Forum / Help » PeopleSoft and Active Directory

Hello,
I have a question for those users out there using PeopleSoft with Active Directory. We are in the early stages of getting a common Active Directory setup for all of our locations. We want PeopleSoft to be the instigator for User Creation as 95% of all users are first created in peoplesoft. We would like this to all be real time if possible.

My questions are.
How are users out there currently using Active Directory with Peoplesoft?

Does PeopleSoft have the ability to query or write directly to Active Directory? If so how?

My initial thoughts were to have PeopleSoft instigate the creation of the user and then pass needed information to a web service or something to have the Active Directory account portion created. is this an ok method?

Looking for any assitance or direction one could provide.

Thanks.

Debugging / Tracing XML Publisher

in discussion Forum / General Discussion » Debugging / Tracing XML Publisher

Didn't realise XML publisher had a debugging / tracing option, but this great post by PeopleSoft / Oracle tips goes through how to turn it on.

I tested this on a unix system, and set the log path to a folder I created: $PS_HOME/log/XMLP. Note that the LogDir doesn't like environment variables, e.g. I had to hard code the path to $PS_HOME and it will throw an error if you specify a location it can't write to.

Using Oracle Database Links

in discussion Forum / General Discussion » Using Oracle Database Links

The PeopleSoft DBA Blog has a great article that explains good and bad uses of Oracle database links. Definitely worth a read if you use them at your organisation. As pointed out, potential alternatives include using application messaging or materialized views. Like most things, they can work very well if used in the right way.

Hi MMP
Sometimes it is more useful for you to take the time to explain yourself if indeed you want assistance. Your explanation is lacking in detail to say the least.

Meow!!

You may be referring to Guest access which is set up via your web profile under the Security tab of the web profile.

PeopleTools > Web Profile > Web Profile Configuration » Security

Look for the Publis Users section and you will see a UserId and a password.

This says what user will be automatically logged in when a direct link is served. Obviously the user (normally a GUEST user) will need access to the direct link. You could then publish your defaulter list generation process under the Guest user (via a role and permission of course) and then directly serve the link to this menu/component.

Let us know if this helps…

Hi,
We are developing an application that will help manager’s generate defaulters of timesheet easily at the click of button. We will try to automate and remove the traversal steps that are between the login and the defaulter list generation process currently in Peoplesoft. Can anyone please help us for starting this up??

Re: Overriding a Component's Search Record for a Component Interface

Gavin (guest) 1256303101|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Forum / Help » Overriding a Component's Search Record for a Component Interface

You could change the search record on the component to one that allows access to all employees/customers/persons/students etc. i.e. No Security at all.

Then on each menu where the componet is accessed use the search view override to override this search view with the search view you wish to use online i.e. The one with the security in it.

If you are using the CI within an Application Engine or other batch process then you most likely dont need security on the search view thus increasing performance.

Hope this helps for those using AE.

Re: sqr reports

Hi, what's the full path to the SQRW application you are using?

There are two different SQR binary paths, one with ORA for Oracle and one with MSS for Microsoft SQL Server.
The path to the SQRW tool is something like this: %PS_HOME%\bin\sqr\ORA\BINW or %PS_HOME%\bin\sqr\MSS\BINW.

Not sure if this makes a difference ?

Using SQRW tool I can run sqr reports when database is Oracle and HRMS,but when I want to run the sqr report using Finance and SQL Server I am getting error.

Showing error in Command prompt as

Oracle OCIServerAttach error
Cannot logon to the database.

When running Microsoft SQL Server as databse.why i am getting Oracle error.

IN SQRW i gave
Username = sa
Password = sa
Database = FSCM89

Username and Password are same as of Microsoft SQL Server database.

I think there may be settings to change my database from Oracle to Sql server.Can any one help me in resolving this issue.

My keys were mismatched between my Level 1 and Level 2 on my page.
The level 2's view keys were out of order and did not follow the order of the Level 1's table's keys.
That is what really caused my No Matching Buffer error.

Level 1 table: setid (key), recnbr (key), effdt (key), effseq (key),…
Level 2 view: setid (key), descr (key), recnbr (key), effdt (key), effseq(key),…

However when I fixed it, I put the 'descr (key)' after the last Level 1 key and it then did not give me the No Matching Buffer error.
I was confused when I got the error because I didn't even realize that I had changed the order of the keys in the Level 2 view.
thanks for your site!

Re: Component Interface PeopleCode

Praj 1255573409|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Forum / Help » Component Interface PeopleCode

Hi,

This might be possible using Component Interface PeopleCode.

I believe you would need to:

1. Create the appropriate method in your CI method PeopleCode
2. Call the method as part of the code you use to access the CI

Some delivered examples are the USER_PROFILE component interface which includes additional methods (functions) like ResetPassword and SetPassword. Another example is the PROCESSREQUEST component interface.

Step 2 is really the trick. If you are using a CI for the inbound data conversion then it should simply be a matter of calling the "pre-edit" method before you insert/update/delete and save data using the CI. However, I'm not sure if that's what you are actually doing?

Print Project Alternative for PeopleCode

in discussion Forum / General Discussion » Print Project Alternative for PeopleCode

A work colleague put me onto this great tip for modifying the XML in your exported project definition so that you can view PeopleCode in a better format.

A couple of catches:

• Once you format the project XML it is no longer valid for re-import. So make a copy of it when doing this.
• You need an additional file PeopleCodeViewer.xsl to exist in the same directory as your edited project XML. The source for this file is on the site, but doesn't work with a straight copy and paste so, here's a formatted version of it (note all credit goes to the original site for this code)
• Simply open your edited project XML file in a browser to see the formatted results.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/root">

Component Interface PeopleCode

David Vandiver (guest) 1255543244|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
in discussion Forum / Help » Component Interface PeopleCode

I am looking for a way to "pre-edit" and possibly cross reference data in the component interface. Here's an example:

I have inbound conversion data using a business unit from legacy. I need to change this field to be the new PeopleSoft business unit. I have a PeopleSoft record where I can access this cross reference, and would like to write the code in the Component Interface. My goal is to not touch delivered components/pages/record peoplecode, but to somehow use the component interface's peoplecode. Is this possible?

With the error you are getting:

… content type text/html of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly …

Just wondering if the line where you pass data to the web service object, you should be passing the actual EmplID rather than the object?

So change the line to:

emplResponse = MyWebService.EmpCreate(emplRqst.EMPLID)

It would seem like this is a type mismatch error. Not sure if I'm reading your code right so apologies if that's what you are in fact doing.
