Environment

Workload Automation Agent: 12.1 or above 

Cause

The WA Agent version 12.1 or above can connect to several PeopleSoft Instances.  A default profile is created when the plugin is applied under:

<ESPSystemAgent_directory>/config/peoplesoft

 

Resolution

The target server in the job is not referencing correct properties file.  The target server must match name of properties like.  E.g. If target server is test, then properties file will be named as test.properties.

If using only one instance, then copy the default properties file parameters to agentparm.txt.  E.g. This is an example, actual properties will be different

ps.db.typeName=ORACLE
ps.db.name=TEST
ps.db.typeNr=2
ps.db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@db.example.com:1521:TEST
jdbc.drivers=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver:com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver:com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver:sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver:
ps.db.accessId=psoft
ps.db.accessPassword=<encrypted_pass>
ps.version=8.62
ps.reportRepositoryPath=/psreports
PS_HOME=/ps_home

For multiple instances, the target server name must be defined in the PS job and <target>.properties must exist under config/peoplesoft.
