ps-prcs-plugin

A Rundeck script plugin for remotely administering a PeopleSoft process scheduler.

NOTE: this currently only works for for UNIX/LINUX

Installation

Copy the ps-prcs-plugin.zip file to your $RDECK_BASE/libext directory and restart the Rundeck service.

mv ps-prcs-plugin.zip $RDECK_BASE/libext

You should now have an additional "PS Process Scheduler" option when configuring jobs.

Configuration

The following node variables must be set in order for the plugin to work.

• PS_HOME
• PS_CFG_HOME
• PS_APP_HOME
• PS_PIA_HOME
• PS_CUST_HOME
• TUXDIR

Depending on your configuration, you may also need to set the following as well.

• JAVA_HOME
• COBDIR
• PS_FILEDIR
• PS_SERVDIR
• ORACLE_HOME
• ORACLE_BASE
• TNS_ADMIN
• AGENT_HOME

For example, here's how a yaml resource file might be setup.

hrlinuxappserver01:
  tags: 'app,web,prcs'
  osName: Linux
  osFamily: unix
  username: psoft
  osArch: amd64
  description: HRDEMO Appserver Environment
  nodename: hrlinuxappserver01
  hostname: hrlinuxappserver01
  osName: Linux
  ps_home: '/opt/psoft/pt854'
  ps_cfg_home: '/opt/psoft/pt854cfg'
  ps_app_home: '/opt/psoft/hcm92'
  ps_pia_home: '/opt/psoft/pt854cfg'
  ps_cust_home: '/opt/psoft/hcm92custom'
  tuxdir: '/opt/oracle/middleware/tuxedo12c'
  java_home: '/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0'
  oracle_home: '/opt/oracle/product/12.1.0/client'
  oracle_base: '/opt/oracle'
  cobdir: '/opt/microfocus/netexpress'
  appserver_domain: hrdemo
  prcs_domain: hrdemo 
  pia_domain: hrdemo

Also, it should be noted that this is a Rundeck script plugin and works by passing the node variables as environment variables over SSH. In order for the plugin to have access to the configured node variables, you'll need to make sure that the ssh server process on the target system is configured for this.

Usage

To use the plugin, simply select the "PS Process Scheduler" node step type when adding a step to a workflow. Then enter in the process scheduler domain that you would like to administer, and select the action you would like to perform from the drop-down list. The actions are pretty straightforward, but here's a quick run down of what each does:

• status: Returns the status of the domain
• start: Starts the specified domain
• stop: Shuts down the specified domain
• kill: Shuts down the specified domain using a forced shutdown method
• configure: Reloads the domain configuration
• flush: Cleans the IPC resources
• restart: Stops the domain and then starts it
• bounce: Performs the following - stop, flush, configure, start
• compile: Executes the $PS_HOME/setup/pscbl.mak script to compile COBOL
• link: Executes the $PS_HOME/setup/psrun.mak script to link COBOL
