PeopleSoft Architecture and Performance Benchmarking with 'PeopleSoft Ping'

TL;DRAbstract

his presentation will outline a collaborative activity between various Australian universities to initiate a basic PeopleSoft Architecture Profile and Performance Benchmarking process using the "PeopleSoft Ping" function. PeopleSoft Ping is a standard utility function within PeopleTools 8.19/8.42 and later versions. PeopleSoft Ping repeatedly executes a "standard dummy" component, at specified intervals, and records the execution time at each tier of the application architecture (Browser, Web server, Application Server, Database) along with the overall time. Related options allow a user to view the recorded results in tabular or graphical form. The basis of this idea emerged through informal discussions at user meetings. PeopleSoft Ping results were exchanged and quite wide variations of measures were noted in some cases. Discussions subsequently centred on issues of application and technical architecture to account for such variations. Importantly, from this quite basic analysis some
