This message gets annoying working with PUM images. The browser complains about the SSL certificate even though it’s just a temporary one and you’re not working on production or sensitive data.
So, I worked through telling my browser to trust the certificate. Here are my notes…
This is a continuation of the Windows 8 install. Previously, I installed the JRockit JVM. In this post, I am installing the WebLogic web server. This is the middleware that makes the PIA work. The PIA is actually created from the psadmin utility, and I’ll do that in a later step/post.
I got the following error message after installing the PeopleTools 8.52.10 patch:
PeopleTools release (8.52.10) for web server/ Application Designer ‘lxdevweb02.pugetsound.edu’ is not the same as Application Server PeopleTools release (8.52.02). Access denied.
CHECK APPSERVER LOGS. THE SITE BOOTED WITH INTERNAL DEFAULT SETTINGS, BECAUSE OF: bea.jolt.ApplicationException: TPESVCFAIL – application level service failure
To fix the problem, I just reconfigured the Application Server.
I found that I needed to change something to make it think that it needs to load the configuration. So, I changed the WSL option. After loading the configuration, I changed it back and loaded it a second time.
After booting the Application Server again, everything worked fine. The instructions didn’t say anything about reconfiguring the Application Server, but I found that I had to do it. I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but I did change my PS_HOME environment variable as part of the patch installation. The tools version (patch number included) is in the path for my PS_HOME.
Now, on a side note, if you get just this message:
CHECK APPSERVER LOGS. THE SITE BOOTED WITH INTERNAL DEFAULT SETTINGS, BECAUSE OF: bea.jolt.ApplicationException: TPESVCFAIL – application level service failure
The problem is probably that the web server cannot talk to the application server. Here are a few things to check:
I hope those thoughts help more than just me.
The other day, I was trying to finish up an install for someone, and ran into a problem. I couldn’t get psadmin to create a new PIA domain. Finally, thanks to OTN, I found that I had to have JRockit JDK set as the Java environment for WebLogic. Note that this was to create the domain not just start the domain.
If there was one thing I could change about this whole thing, it would the logs. I spent so long on this issue just because I had no clues. We have got to have more logs to look at for clues! If am missing something, please comment below and point it out. If not, Oracle, please add some logging — at least maybe print out what JVM it is using.
This is the first log file that I found: <PS_CFG_HOME>/webserv/piainstall_<domain name>.log
Install Action : CREATE_NEW_DOMAIN Creating Domain... Deploying Web Applications... Deploying WebLogic Extension files... Deploying PeopleSoft Site files... Deploying PeopleSoft Site Doc files... Completed. PS_CFG_HOME: /psoft/pscfgs/fnprd PIA_INSTALL_FAIL
This is the second log: /tmp/piaInatallLog_<timestamp>
Install Action : CREATE_NEW_DOMAIN Creating Domain... Deploying Web Applications... Deploying WebLogic Extension files... Deploying PeopleSoft Site files... Deploying PeopleSoft Site Doc files... Completed.
Also, in <PS_CFG_HOME>, I found the wlspiainstall.properties which included all of the settings that it was using to create the domain.
The best way to avoid this error is to make sure that you set the JAVA_HOME to your JRockit installation before installing WebLogic. So, assuming that you have JRockit installed at /opt/jdk, you can run something like this:
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH which java java -version
Your output should look something like this:
$export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk $export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH $which java /opt/jdk/bin/java $java -version java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Oracle JRockit(R) (build R28.1.0-123-138454-1.6.0_20-20101014-1350-linux-x86_64, compiled mode)
If it looks like this, you have something wrong. This is open source OpenJDK JVM:
$which java /usr/bin/java $java -version java version "1.7.0_03" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.1.1pre) (7~u3-2.1.1~pre1-1ubuntu3) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode)
Or, this is the Sun JDK, which caused me problems:
$java -version java version "1.5.0_30" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_30-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_30-b03, mixed mode)
Now, once you have that correct, you should run the Weblogic install from that command-line session.
Now, my problem was that Weblogic had already been installed. Apparently, it was using the Sun JDK instead of the JRockit JDK. Normally, I would look in the <PS_CFG_HOME>/webserv/<domain>/bin/setcmd…. file to change the setting. But, I don’t even have the domain installed at this point.
I found that I could set the JAVA_HOME and JAVA_VENDOR variables in the <weblogic home>/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/commEnv.sh file. Note that the JAVA_VENDOR was required. If it is not set, some of the logic later on in the script overwrites the JAVA_HOME.
So, I added these two lines near the top between the comments:
# #***************************************************************************** JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk JAVA_VENDOR=Oracle #***************************************************************************** # sub functions #*****************************************************************************
After that, my PIA built with no problem.
Next, you need to boot the web server. To do so, open a command window, and go to the <PS Home>/webserv/<domain name>/bin directory. Then, type “startManagedWebLogic.cmd PIA”.
When I tried, it gave me an error when booting. I think the error is because I am using Sun’s version of the JDK, and it trying to pass a JRocket specific command line option:
I fixed it by opening the setEnv.cmd file. Then, I removed the first three options from the JAVA_OPTIONS_WIN variable. So, I copied the set JAVA_OPTIONS_WIN line and commented out the original. I deleted “-jrockit -XnoOpt -XXnoJITInline”.
I found another -jrockit location in the file, too, and I did the same thing, but I still had an issue with authentication. So, I decided to go back to the -jrockit options, and I set the Java Home to my JRockit installation:

The solution ended out being to start the Admin server first. So, from the PIA home bin directory, run “startWebLogicAdmin.cmd”:
Then, “startManagedWeblogic.cmd PIA” works:
And, it works now!
So, that wraps up our booting the servers step:
Please continue with Step 7.
This is a continuation of my PeopleTools 8.51 posts. In this part, we are looking at installing WebLogic and the PIA.
Sorry it has taken a while to get this post proofread — I was sick this weekend and had family visiting as well. I will try to keep the others coming soon.
I have been working on trying to upgrade an instance of PeopleSoft that I have to PeopleTools 8.51. In doing so, I had some issues with installing WebLogic. This post describes the errors and fixes.
This tip helps with getting Change Assistant to run. You have to get all the pieces talking together in order to use Change Assistant.
Start with the Hub
Log into URL http://<server>:<port>/PSEMHub/hub
This page will tell you what processes are connected to the hub.
Determining the port —
check the configuration file: <weblogic home>\config.xml
Domain tag > Server tag > ListenPort attribute
or check the weblogic administration console
Click on Servers under Domain Configurations — Network Configuration
The port number should be listed in the Listen Port column.
If the hub is not running
change directory to <PIA home>/
one time startup:
startManagedWebLogic PSEMHUB
(all capitals for the PSEMHUB)
or install as a service
installNTService PSEMHUB
(make sure to also start the service)
Update: In Tools 8.49, the path is changed to <PIA home>/peoplesoft/bin
Resources
“Running the Hub on Multiple Servers”
Agent
Configure:
change the file — <ps home>/PSEMAgent/envmetadata/config/configuration.properties
Change property hubURL to the valid URL for the Hub discussed above
Change the windowsdriverstocrawl or the unixdriverstocrawl to the locations where PeopleSoft is installed
Start the agent
change directory to: <ps home>/PSEMAgent
run StartAgent
or
change directory to: <ps home>/bin/server/WinX86
run psemAgentService /install <ps home>/PSEMAgent
Resources
“Running an Agent”
“Automatically Starting an Agent in Windows”
URL:
http://<hostname>:<port>/console
Note: the port may or may not be the same port number as the port you use for PeopleSoft.
Directories
web logic is generally installed in <ps home>\webserv\
generally there is only 1 folder in <ps home>\webserv and that is the domain name
Determining the host name and port
look in: <weblogic home>\setEnv.cmd
SET ADMINSERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP
SET ADMINSERVER_PORT=<port number>
SET ADMINSERVER_HOSTNAME=<server name>
SET ADMINSERVER_SERVERNAME=WebLoginAdmin
or you can look in: <weblogic home>\config.xml
Domain tag > Server tag > ListenPort attribute
Default Login
user: system
password: password
Starting the Console
if it doesn’t connect, you may have to start it manually
startWebLogicAdmin
same directory as setEnv.cmd
Installing as a service
installNTService
with no parameters
