Usage Restrictions
Windows 2000 will be servicing many clients, in essence acting as the operating
system for all users connected to it. With this in mind, keep the Windows 2000
server free of PeopleSoft processes that can be handled by other servers. Here are
some recommendations for process distribution:
K
Never run the database server on the Windows 2000 server. Run it on a
separate machine.
K
Never run the PeopleSoft application server on the Windows 2000 server. Run
it on a separate machine.
K
Never run Process Scheduler on the Windows 2000 server. Run it on your
database server or on a separate server.
K
If possible, use a separate file server to act as the repository for non-shared
user files, including PeopleSoft cache files. This puts the burden of read/write
file I/O on a separate server, reducing the overhead for the Windows 2000
server and allowing more of its resources to be devoted to processing user
applications.
K
Use a high-speed network connection between the Windows 2000 server and
any auxiliary servers, including, but not limited to, database servers,
application servers, Process Scheduler servers, and file servers.
User Home Directories
Because multiple clients run on a single server, it is important that each user have
his or her own dedicated file area (commonly referred to as a home directory) for
non-shared files such as temp and cache files.
PeopleSoft Cache Files
In a client/server environment, each PeopleSoft user has a set of cache files stored
on his or her client machine. In the Windows 2000 environment, each user must
also have a unique set of cache files. You can achieve this by assigning each
Windows 2000 user a home directory, preferably on a separate server, and using
Configuration Manager to point the cache files directory to a subdirectory of that
home directory.
