I have written a PowerShell function that is a Java Keytool wrapper that allows easier ways of life for PS Admins to work with keystores and SSL Certificates.

The platform is Windows OS and uses PowerShell logic to send any keytool command to the function to work with the keystores easier and from one local site.  As long as there is a server with tools and java installed, this function will make life way easier for PS Admins.

You've probably heard about navigation collections: a collection of Peoplesoft links that can be grouped and rolled out to a group of your end-users. If you're not using them yet, please join us for a Quick Tip session. Within 15 minutes, you'll find out how easy it is to set up a navigation collection!

Creating PeopleSoft Image environments is easier than ever with Cloud Manager (CM) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure(OCI). While this is a fantastic use case, this technology allows you to do so much more! Learn how to approach moving your entire Non-Production and Production environments to OCI. Leveraging cloud tools(Cloud Manager, terraform, OCIcli, etc) and the concept of infrastructure as code, you can dramatically change your approach to using, creating, and maintaining PeopleSoft environments. This talk will touch on some of the basics of Cloud Manager, but will also dive into some of the tools Cloud Manager uses behind the scenes. Learning how these tools work and how to leverage them for yourself gives you even more flexibility when moving PeopleSoft to the cloud!

We’re sure you or someone you know has had the experience of jumping into the water with their phone still in a pocket. As soon as you realize that your brand new expensive phone is drowning in the water, desperation sets in. You ask yourself, “When was the last time I backed up my device?” or “Did I purchase the insurance plan?” Imagine the pit in your stomach as you wonder about how you will explain to your significant other that you need to buy a new phone. This anecdote is trite but serves to help you feel some feelings that are similar to those you might feel if you lost your critical business systems and didn’t have a solid disaster recovery plan in place.

Until recently, disaster recovery has been seen as an expensive and treacherous journey. Figuring out where, when, and exactly how your organization would recover its critical systems with what tolerance for data loss was more art than science. Disaster recovery was also extremely expensive. Solutions now exist that make disaster recovery a commodity that just about any organization can afford as a turn-key solution. Please join our presentation for an overview of how simple disaster recovery can be on Oracle Cloud with a tool like RackWare.
