1.A Peoplesoft environment includes the following servers:

1) Database Server

You can choose the most common database server you like:  Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2, informix.......

To set up a database server is the most important part of PS environment.  It is 70% weight in a PS environment.

2) Application Server

PS use BEA Tuxedo as its Application Engine

3) Scheduler
Scheduler is used to run report.  Also use BEA Tuxedo as Engine.

4) Web Server
You can pick BEA Weblogic or IBM Websphere as Web Server.

5) File Server

6) Workstations for power user

You can pick different OS -- Windows, Unix, Linux.  But each serve need to be installed the following list of Software.

6) Workstations for power user:

Crystal report (if needed)

7) Other Software:
Database Server:
A PeopleSoft Software package includes all above software except Database Server.  You should purchase Database Server license youself.

Cobol Compiler:
PS also use some Cobol.  You need purchase a Cobol compiler such as Net Express for Windows and Micro Focus for Unix.

FTP Server:
You may/maynot need it. It depends on how you like to transfer your report between process scheduler and Web Server
3. install workstation (map to your file server drive and install from there)

4.  Create a DEMO database:

After all software has been install on the Server, we start to create a demo database.

The process of database creating is base on the database engine you use. I cannot give out the detail about this part.  This part takes most of your time. Some scripts need 10 more hours to run.

5.  Configure Application Server

6. Configure Process Scheduler

7. Setting up PIA (PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture) on Web Server

8. Setting up Crystal report (if needed)

9. Compile your Cobol

10.  Installing Peoplebook -
(I do have one note about it which i worte last year:
http://snowhite2000.itpub.net/post/5/3612
)
My note:

1.  If it is your first to create PS environment, plus, you need create demo database, you should ask minimum 2 weeks  or more to finish all tasks.

2. Strong background of OS and network will be most helpful.
Step 4 -- I need to know which database server you plan to use.

Step 5 -- I need to know which OS you plan to use.
