Testing File Locations, Servers, and Default Directory Locations

You can test the connection between Stat and any file location, server, directory or change management environment by selecting the row and clicking Test Connection. This directs Stat to test its connectivity to the selected file location, file server, directory or environment. If successful, Stat displays a “Connection Successful” message box. If Stat is unable to connect, it displays a message box stating the cause of the failure, for example, “User ID or Password is not defined.” The connection between Stat and the file server is always established by the Stat Central Agent. For this reason, ensure that the Stat Central Agent is up and running before testing any connections.

PeopleSoft Environment Connection Maintenance

The PeopleSoft Environment Connections Maintenance table defines the PeopleSoft environments to which Stat can connect. These are the environments available for selection on CSRs and the various PeopleSoft wizards. Within the definition for each environment is the information Stat needs to connect to it.

PeopleSoft environment connection security is controlled by the following user class rights:

The PeopleSoft Environment Connection Maintenance table is displayed in a standard maintenance window. To open this window, select Maintenance | General | PeopleSoft Connect.

Stat provides change management support for PeopleSoft running on a several different platforms, including Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2 (z/OS and AIX). Although most of the values that you specify in the PeopleSoft Environment Connection Maintenance table are the same regardless of which platform you are running on, some values are DBMS-specific. For this reason, the following sections describe each value in the maintenance table for each platform supported by Stat, along with any special considerations you should bear in mind when defining connections between Stat and your PeopleSoft environments.
