Have Multiple PeopleSoft Environments Opens In Internet Explorer

Problem:

We had some users who needed to have a QA and PROD PeopleSoft environment open at the same time. When they would launch the second window it would log them off of the original peoplesoft environment.

Solution:

If you launch a “new session” in IE 8 it saves the cookies in the different location. This enables you to sign on to as many new peoplesoft sessions as you would like without losing your existing one.

COBOL Program PSPBARUN aborted (2,-1)

Problem:

Received the following error when running an on demand COBAL execution

Resolution:

After checking the COBAL license server everything appeared fine. I Rebooted and cleared cache of the application servers which fixed the problem.

PeopleSoft: Could not create shared cache (0,0)

Problem:

Common directories to look at: * /u01/app/ptools849/psoftXXX/appserv/XXXX%APPDOMAIN%/LOGS
You can also run “df -m|more” when inside of /u01/app/ptools849/psoftXXX to see which directories are using the most space

PeopleSoft Invalid Access ID and password for signon — see your security administrator.

Problem:

When trying to connect to Data mover or Application designer the following error (“PeopleSoft Invalid Access ID and password for signon — see your security administrator.” ) comes up even though you are inputting the correct user/pass combination.

Resolution:

Verify that the connect ID and Connect password is correct in the Configuration Manager. This ID allows PeopleSoft to connect to the database to verify that the user/pass is correct.

PeopleSoft Error Crystal Reports Print Engine error text: Error in File e:\XX\XX.rpt: Access to report file denied. Another program

Problem:

PeopleSoft Crystal Report was not processing and error out. Looking at the message log I noticed the following messages:
Crystal Reports Print Engine error text: Error in File e:\ptools849\psofthcm\crw\eng\pbc_0004.rpt:
Access to report file denied. Another program

looking at the crystal trace file to view more detailed information I noticed:

Resolution:

The report file did exist and access was granted to the report file. However, the output path of the crystal report was on the network share. I had to grant access to the process scheduler service account to write the output file.

I followed the guides on my HCM, FMS, and Portal Systems and everything is working as normal. Be careful when configuring the ewallet file because that is where I had problems the first go around.
