No storage-enabled nodes exist for service DistributedSessions in PIA_weblogic.log

When you try to setup Coherence*Web with PeopleSoft, if you see this message “No storage-enabled nodes exist for service DistributedSessions” in PIA_weblogic.log, you have probably misconfigured your Cache Server.

The Cache Server is starting with it’s own configuration defined in coherence-cache-config.xml.

In that file you need to declare the Cache Service named “DistributedSessions” like this:

    <distributed-scheme>

      <scheme-name>session-base</scheme-name>

      <service-name>DistributedSessions</service-name>

      <serializer>

        <instance>

        </instance>

      </serializer>

      <thread-count>0</thread-count>

      <lease-granularity>member</lease-granularity>

      <local-storage system-property="tangosol.coherence.session.localstorage">true</local-storage>

      <partition-count>257</partition-count>

      <backup-count>1</backup-count>

      <backup-storage>

        <type>on-heap</type>

      </backup-storage>

      <backing-map-scheme>

        <local-scheme>

          <scheme-ref>unlimited-local</scheme-ref>

        </local-scheme>

      </backing-map-scheme>

      <autostart>true</autostart>

    </distributed-scheme>

Content/Portal URL not defined for node PSFT_EP (262,81)

When verifying PeopleSoft and Oracle Secure Enterprise Search connectivity, you may face an error at "STEP 2: Deploy":

Content/Portal URL not defined for node PSFT_EP (262,81) PTSF_FEED.SESFeedDataSource.OnExecute  Name:execute  PCPC:16048  Statement:279
Called from:PTFP_FEED.Feed.OnExecute  Name:execute  Statement:677
Called from:PTFP_FEED.FeedFactory.OnExecute  Name:getFeedDoc  Statement:244
Called from:PTSF_RNDTRP_WRK.PTSF_RNDTRIP_CRAWL.FieldChange  Statement:46

Content/Portal URL not defined for node %1 

 This is probably because you forgot the basics ? You must check that the Portal Node is configured (and the Integration Broker)!

Navigate to PeopleTools > Portal > Node Definitions
Select PSFT_EP node (if your are configuring ses with PeopleSoft Finance), then Portal tab.

You must configure "Content URI Text" and "Portal URI Text".

After this, STEP 2 should work fine.

 

 

iReceipt pictures included in the iPhone to PeopleSoft Transaction

This is confirmed in the PeopleSoft 9.2 Release Value Proposition (July 2012) that the pictures taken from iPhone will be included in the transaction to PeopleSoft:

"the iOS-based Oracle iReceipts application enables users to take pictures (or pull from the camera roll) on an iPhone and feed the pictures into PeopleSoft Expenses - My Wallet so that the photo file attachment is included with the transaction"

PeopleSoft Installer fails on VirtualBox Shared Drive

It is very usefull to install PeopleSoft using VirtualBox (4.1.10).
This is possible to install possible on OEL or Solaris 11 x86-64 as this is now supported by Oracle.

It's even more helpfull if you can access to the installation disk on a Shared Drive.

Sadelly, this is not working yet, as you will get the following error message:

"mmap failed for CEN and END part of zip file"
