Not really an administrator's guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peoplesoft Administrator's Guide (Paperback)
This book only provides an overview of the product, and should be not used as an administration guide.It contains a good coverage of topics, although the level of detail is inconsistent. For example, the author spends 4 pages explaining how to create an FTP script; whereas more relevant topics are barely touched on. Another dislike I have is that the material and the examples cover a Sybase implementation. Most PeopleSoft implementations are on Oracle.

Awful writing, dry and kinda pointless,
By Jimmy Owen (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peoplesoft Administrator's Guide (Paperback)
Unfortunately, there are simply not very many good resources for PS admins out there. The only upside is that the ERP structure of the system is not so bad that you can't muddle through on your own. This book was pretty much a waste of time. It meandered through several short chapters that basically amounted to 'hey we got it right' without bothering to explain exactly what said magic formula is. The source examples were uncommented and poorly explained, and really didn't shed any light on ADMINISTRATION (that IS was this was about right?) anyway. Some discussion of an RDBMS other that Sybase would have been nice, considering maybe 80% of PS installations run Oracle. That and the lack of performance tuning discussion of any kind, peopletools included, really kinda left me amazed. Of particular note, several of the .sqr examples were obvious performance problems for most RDBMS platforms, where they repeatedly scanned multiple tables with obfusicated and overly verbose WHERE clauses to reach an end. Ughhh. The one redeeming factor is that it's perfectly suited to fit under the edge of my office door. 2 thumbs down.

No depth,
By Brian Melka (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peoplesoft Administrator's Guide (Paperback)
I bought this book, opened it once, and put it back on the shelf. It provides so little depth and detail that it is almost useless. For a brand new technical person I'm not sure this book would be valuable, but it does provide a high level oversight of the workings of the system and would be useful for a Project Manager new to the PeopleSoft area.
