1. Explain 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.

2. Tell me 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

3. Suppose If you are PS developer then In what scenarios Component Interface will have advantages over component?

A component exposes your pages to peoplesoft only.Moreover it helps us to define common properties for a set of related pages.

A component interface is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that you can use to access and modify PeopleSoft database information programmatically. PeopleSoft Component Interfaces expose a PeopleSoft component (a set of pages grouped for a business purpose) for synchronous access from another application (PeopleCode, Java, C/C++, or Component Object Model [COM]).

4. Explain Are there advantages or disadvantages to using BEA Web Logic over IBM Web Sphere 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.

5. Tell me 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.

6. Tell me With reference to the Component Interface Tester which of the following is NOT TRUE?

GetExisting option is equivalent to opening a record in Update/Display Mode only

7. Can you explain 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 .

8. Explain attributes of a Component Interface (CI) are?

Keys, Properties & Collections, Methods and Name

9. Do you know Does Application Messaging work between 8.1xand 8.4 applications?

Application Messaging is used by PeopleSoft applications to communicate withone 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.

10. Explain The following are various steps that describes the peoplecode logic while implementing a Component Interface?

1.Establish a user session
2.Get the Component Interface
3.pulate the Create Keys
4.eate an Instance of the CI
5.pulate the required fields
6. Save the CI

11. Explain Which of the following are TRUE when a Component Interface (CI) is created on component that has Add action enabled?

Get keys, Create keys and Find keys gets created automaticallyThe Create method is created alongwith the other Standard methods for the CI

13. Explain Which of the following is NOT TRUE in Component Interface (CI) Architecture?

A component interface can be mapped to multiple PeopleSoft components

14. Tell me How to do object security?
How to connect report through process scheduler?

To connect a report first we have to know about run control page. So that we can add the required fields over there and then passing those oprid and runctlid through the stdapi.sqc we can run an an SQR by including this SQC. This can be runned through the process sheduler. If directly we can go to the process sheduler request and made a request for the SQR. This happens only when the report repositry and distubution has been set properly. After making request we can run the process sheduler

15. Explain 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

17. Tell me Can a People Tools 8.4 and a People Tools 8.1xapplication server run on the same machine?

Yes, both PeopleTools 8.4 and PeopleTools 8.1x application servers can run ona single machine. It is important to ensure that there are no port clashes between the installations.

18. Tell me Which of the following is NOT TRUE in Component Interface (CI) Architecture?

A component interface can be mapped to multiple PeopleSoft components

19. Explain When a business requirement in Fit/Gap Analysis does not meet by PeopleSoft then?

Some options:1. Customize PS application (Yes)2. Buy third party software (Yes)3. Call PS Development Center for Enhancement (Yes)

20. Tell me Which of the following are TRUE when a Component Interface (CI) is created on component that has Add action enabled?

Get keys, Create keys and Find keys gets created automaticallyThe Create method is created alongwith the other Standard methods for the CI

21. Do you know With reference to the Component Interface Tester which of the following is NOT TRUE?

GetExisting option is equivalent to opening a record in Update/Display Mode only

23. Tell me 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
