Installing Gobal Payroll Rules

This post is a follow up to this thread that I opened.  Unfortunately, at this point, I haven’t figured out what I am doing wrong.  If you see something, please comment either here or on the thread at Oracle Forums.

I am trying to install the  Global Payroll Rules for 856737 and 857845 (both Non-Rule + Rule).

I found that I do this at this navigation: Set Up HRMS > Product Related > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Elements > Manage Global Payroll Packages > Apply Rule Package:

Applying Rule Package

I found a little documentation in PeopleBooks.

Then, I put in the path to my scripts directory, saved, and clicked process.

Adding Scripts Directory

It said the scripts were not found:

Script Not Found Message

But, as far as I can tell, the scripts are in the directory!

Scripts directory

Just for kicks and grins, I copied the DAT files into the same directory:

Scripts Directory with Dat files

Still no luck!

My next attempt is the try to see if case matters.  The files are in lower case in the directory, but on the page the Package ID is uppercase.

Using Lowercase Package ID

That still doesn’t work because it must be an uppercase field:

Rule Package ID made Uppercase

Update:

My problem was the “/” at the end of path.  Once I added the “/” it worked!

Missing Slash

Then, when I clicked process, it ran the data mover script:

Customer Connection

Customer Connection is set to migrate to MetaLink3 not this weekend but the next.  Currently, you should be logging into the new MetaLink3 and making sure that you have access.  That way you are ready for the change.

Change is always exciting, and I am hoping that this new site provides users an easier-to-use interface.  I always had trouble searching through the old Customer Connection.  Currently, it is hard to tell because none of the customer connection information exists in the new system.

I haven’t read all of the documentation yet, and so, I probably shouldn’t be commenting yet, but I first thought that Oracle was combining MetaLink and Customer Connection.  But, why do we have two separate systems?  From what I can tell, I will have to access MetaLink for my Oracle patches and MetaLink3 for PeopleSoft patches.

Another thing I found funny was that the Customer Connection Login page does not have a note or warning about the change.  Since the change is only a couple of weeks away, I would have thought I would see something reminding me.

I did find a thread going for comments on the changes.  Please share your comments.

Change Assistant Error

Here is an error that I ran across and how I fixed it.

Error in EMHub error log:

<Jul 17, 2008 2:53:48 PM EDT> <Notice> <Stdout> <000000> <WARN [ACTIVE] ExecuteT
hread: ‘0’ for queue: ‘weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)’ EMF_CATEGORY – Una
ble to register peer com.peoplesoft.emf.peer:id=2 with the EMHub>

Error that PSAgent gives:

ERROR main EMF_CATEGORY – Error while connecting to ‘http://pserv01:8000/PSEMHUB /hub’.
ERROR main EMF_CATEGORY – Error: Internal Exception: – Error registering peer
ERROR main EMF_CATEGORY – Error while connecting to server – retrying attempt 1

The fix was to reset the GUI

Viewing:

select GUID from PSOPTIONS

Updating:

UPDATE PSOPTIONS SET GUID = ‘ ‘

Then, you need to restart the application server and the web server.
