Re: Oracle and Peoplesoft

Hi Sumathy,

It is not too much different from oracle peoplesoft and regular dba. Except you have to know more about peoplesoft components, peoplesoft application server, process schedular, web server,weblogic.. there are some peoplesoft courses I am highly recommend you to take, "Configuration and Administration" " Data Management Tools" and another one " peoplesoft server administration on Unix/Oracle". They has a website just like metlink. you need a customer id to access it. I feel like as long as peoplesoft infrastucture setup correctly in the beginning. It save a lot of time to troubleshoot later. As a oracle/peoplesoft dba, you have to constantly deal with upgrade poeplesoft tools, application, oracle. so clone the production database is major thing to do. we are constantly refresh testing databases from production. so automate those scripts are very helpful.
