method is created along with the other Standard methods for the CI
5. Which of the following can be mapped as

A OR b
6. Which of the following is NOT TRUE in

A component interface can be mapped to multiple PeopleSoft components
7. The following are various steps that

1. Establish a user session
2. Get the Component Interface
3. Populate the Create Keys
4. Create an Instance of the CI
5. Populate the required fields
6. Save the CI
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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
22. 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.
23. 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 .
24. 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
