Activation
|
PROBLEM: |
After executing the applications PS Activation or
Get PS Cfg from HP Operations 8.0 for Windows, strange messages appear in the
HPO message browser, containing long strings of hex numbers. The attributes
of the messages are: Object = FileData, Group =
PSSPI, Application = psspi_spicl.pl |
|
SOLUTION: |
1.
Check if the
PSSPI-Messages policy is deployed on mgd node. 2.
Allow remote action
on the management server using Remote Action Security policy in the Server
policies group. |
Monitoring
|
PROBLEM: |
If a PeopleSoft Application server domain crashed or
has been aborted ungraceful the SPI TMIB monitor may hang when accessing the Tuxedo
TMIB. An indication is an HPO message appearing similar to: Can’t start monitor script
for object ’PSSPI-TMIB-Col-05m’. Script still running. (OpC30-610) |
|
SOLUTION: |
Always shutdown domains properly. Try to re-boot or re-configure the domain.
If this does not help you may need to re-boot the whole system. |
At the time of
release, there were no known documentation errata to report.
The HP Operations Smart Plug-in for PeopleSoft works
with the SPI for Databases (Oracle, MSSQL), SPI for IBM DB2 and HP Reporter.
