Book Description

From the Inside Flap
Preface
This book is intended for large corporations that have complex PeopleSoft environments and are looking for a comprehensive enterprise management solution. A PeopleSoft system cannot be managed in isolation; it is part of a business system. Its health is dependent on the health of other components in the system. For instance, managing the Application Server, the Database Server, the Process Scheduler Server, and the network is the only way to guarantee end-user satisfaction. Simplistic monitoring and system-level load analysis cannot guarantee availability. You need advanced tools, such as the Tivoli Enterprise suite of products, to help you spot the problem by analyzing the data you collect about PeopleSoft. Moreover, the Tivoli Enterprise Solutions provide a consistent management interface to different operating systems and services. Tivoli Enterprise allows you to manage users, systems, databases, networks, and applications from one interface and provides a streamlined way of automating and delegating routine time-consuming tasks. Because Tivoli Enterprise is a global enterprise management solution, you will not need to integrate disparate point products; so, you will provide better service and support while reducing or maintaining operational costs at their current levels or ratios.
If you are an IS manager, a system administrator, a pre-sales technical specialist, or anyone who wonders how the Tivoli Solutions can help manage PeopleSoft systems or even BEA TUXEDO systems, read this book to quickly get an understanding of their concepts, functions, and features.
This book is divided into three parts:
Part 1, "PeopleSoft, BEA TUXEDO, and Tivoli overviews" on page 1, contains three introductory chapters on PeopleSoft, BEA TUXEDO, and Tivoli Enterprise Software. The PeopleSoft and BEA TUXEDO overviews will give a high-level understanding of each solution; so, you can easily follow the functions and features available in the Tivoli Managers for PeopleSoft and BEA TUXEDO even if you are not an expert in both domains. The Tivoli Solutions overview helps readers select the Tivoli component necessary for a specific peopleSoft environment.
Part 2, "Tivoli Manager for BEA TUXEDO" on page 59, describes what the Tivoli Manager for BEA TUXEDO is and how it can be used to manage not only a PeopleSoft environment but also a Tuxedo environment by itself. This part covers three main subjects:
Installation and configuration of the Tivoli Manager for BEA TUXEDO in a Tivoli environment
How the Tivoli Manager for BEA TUXEDO helps perform streamlining operations on Tuxedo resources
How the Tivoli Manager for BEA TUXEDO helps keep Tuxedo systems available
Part 3, "Managing PeopleSoft" on page 289, describes the major Tivoli products that may be used to manage a PeopleSoft environment and explains in detail:
The installation and configuration of the Tivoli Manager for PeopleSoft.
The installation and configuration of the Tivoli Manager for Oracle. Although Oracle is not the only database supported by Tivoli, it is the one we chose to explain in detail in this book.
How the Tivoli Managers for PeopleSoft, BEA TUXEDO, and Oracle help perform streamlining operations on PeopleSoft systems.
How the Tivoli Managers for PeopleSoft, BEA TUXEDO, and Oracle help keep PeopleSoft systems available.
How Tivoli Workload Scheduler integrates with PeopleSoft to manage the batch jobs in an enterprise perspective.
How Tivoli Application Performance Management helps keep PeopleSoft Systems running at performance levels.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Out of date, but still useful; Excellent Bea Tuxedo Material,
By Mike Tarrani "www.tarrani.com" (Deltona, FL USA) - See all my reviews (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Managing PeopleSoft with Tivoli (Paperback)
Although PeopleSoft 8 differs in significant ways from version 7 that is addressed in this book, the material is still invaluable. In particular, the authors impart a deep knowledge of PeopleSoft, Tivoli and Tuxedo. In fact, I gained more tips about Tuxedo (an integral part of both PeopleSoft 7x and 8x) from this book than from a pile of resource material from Bea and PeopleSoft. I also gained a deeper understanding of Tivoli and how it can be used to effectively monitor PeopleSoft or any other distributed application. Note that the Tivoli material in this book is also out of date, but a surprisingly large amount is still useful.You're walked through the actual configuration and installation of Tivoli, which is well done with screenshots and brief, but descriptive explanations. In addition, there is a CD ROM that ships with this book, which contains UNIX shell scripts, most of which are for monitoring Tuxedo. I gave this book 4 stars because it is out of date with respect to PeopleSoft and Tivoli - however, I didn't give it less (which I normally do for such books) because there is still much that you can learn from it and apply to PeopleSoft 8 with a little research and careful planning.
