===== PeopleSoft Setup: =====

==== Users: ====
<code>
groupadd dba
groupadd psoft
useradd -m -g dba   -G tty,wheel -d /opt/oracle -s /bin/bash oracle
useradd -m -g psoft -G tty,wheel -d /opt/psoft  -s /bin/bash psoft
</code>

==== Limits: ====
In ~/.bashrc add the following:
<code>
ulimit -u 16384 -n 63536 -c unlimited
</code>

==== Mounting PS CD's: ====
You may have to mount the CDROM below as "root"
<code>
mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom/setup.linux
</code>

==== Fixing psconfig.sh: ====
Add the following to psconfig.sh.  __Note You don't need LD_PRELOAD for PT8.49 but you DO need it for PT8.47__
<code>
#export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/psoft/fixlib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
echo "Set Environment HRDMO89 - /opt/psoft/pt849/hcm890/psconfig.sh"
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0.1
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=HRDMO89
export COBDIR=/opt/microfocus/cobol
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:$COBDIR/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export DISPLAY=:0.0
export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2:$COBDIR/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
</code>
also: 
<code>echo "release 3" > /etc/redhat-release</code>
Please don't forget to edit PS_HOSTTYPE
<code>PS_HOSTTYPE=redhat-gentoo-ia32; export PS_HOSTTYPE</code>

==== Linking PSRUN: ====
Run $PS_HOME/setup/psrun.mak.  If you get:
<code>ld: cannot find -lgcc"</code>
edit $COBDIR/etc/cobopt\\
replace: set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3\\
with:    set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6\\
the correct value is gleaned from: /etc/ld.so.conf\\
\\
to remove the "ld: warning: libclntsh.so.9.0, needed by /opt/psoft/install/bin/libpsora_ansi.so, not found" error:\\
as oracle:\\
cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib\\
<code>ln -s libclntsh.so.10.1  libclntsh.so.9.0</code>

==== Fixing AppServer Process scheduler __dynamic_cast_2 symbol errors: ====
download a 2.9.5 libstdc++ rpm from rpmfinder:\\
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/libstdc++-2.96-110.i386.rpm\\
run rpm2targz against the rpm file.\\
copy the lib directory to /opt/psoft/azlib:\\
<code>
sprydev /opt/psoft # ls -la azlib
total 432
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root    4096 Jun 19 10:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 psoft psoft   4096 Jun 19 16:42 ..
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root  root  426442 Jun 19 10:31 libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  root      31 Jun 19 10:31 libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 -> libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
</code>
add export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/psoft/azlib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so to psconfig.sh
you should be good to go.

==== Installing Tuxedo 9.1: ====
See the Tux 9.1 section in [[install_tuxedo_on_linux]]

==== Fixing "Failure to create message queue": ====
<code>
163150.sprydev!JSH.18327.16384.-2: 06-19-2006: Tuxedo Version 8.1, 32-bit
163150.sprydev!JSH.18327.16384.-2: LIBTUX_CAT:681: ERROR: Failure to create message queue
163150.sprydev!JSH.18327.16384.-2: JOLT_CAT:1088: "ERROR: tpinit() failed, tperrno = 7"
163150.sprydev!JSL.18326.16384.0: JOLT_CAT:1079: "ERROR: Error starting mininum number of handlers"
163150.sprydev!JSL.18326.16384.0: LIBTUX_CAT:250: ERROR: tpsvrinit() failed
</code>
Edit /etc/sysctl.conf.  We have to mess with the "sem" parameter\\
<code>
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.msgmni = 1024    //<-------------IMPORTANT!!!!//
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
</code>

==== PeopleTools 8.49 Note ====
It is not necessary to go through the shenanigans above.  In fact, the LD_PRELOAD environment variable should be unset if you are installing PeopleTools 8.49.  If you still have it set, You will end up with tuxedo problems such as:
<code>
085820.machine-name!PSAPPSRV.6043.1.0: LIBTUX_CAT:476: WARN: Server 99/2: client process 1859: lost message
085820.machine-name!PSAPPSRV.6043.1.0: LIBTUX_CAT:477: WARN: SERVICE=ICPanel    MSG_ID=0    REASON=server died
</code>

==== Fixing "Cannot find or open field table.  Maybe FIELDTBLS32 is not set properly" ====
  * Backup your <PS_HOME>/appserv/DomainName/psappsrv.ubx file.
  * Edit your <PS_HOME>/appserv/DomainName/psappsrv.ubx file and search for FIELDTBLS32.   You will find in two places. Change the current value:
<code>FIELDTBLS32=tpadm</code>
to
<code>FIELDTBLS32=jrep.f32,tpadm</code>
  * Search for FLDTBLDIR32, again there are two entries. Change:
<code>FLDTBLDIR32=$TUXDIR/udataobj</code>
to
<code>FLDTBLDIR32={$TUXDIR}/udataobj</code>
Make sure the value above has the / (slash) going in the proper direction for UNIX as the default may be set going the incorrect way.
  * Reconfigure your domain so the psappsrv.ubb file gets updated with this new value.
