CAST Administrators

Summary: This page explains how to install the extension on your workstation

Prerequisites

  • This section assumes that a complete installation of CAST AIP as described in the CAST AIP install documentation has already been actioned.
  • You must also ensure that your CAST AIP installation is compatible with the extension - AIP compatibility is listed in PeopleSoft 5.1 - Release Notes.

Step 1: Download and Install the extension

Please see:

Step 2: CAST AIP schema installation

CAST recommends creating two sets of  "combined" of CAST AIP schemas to use specifically with your PeopleSoft analysis - one for the Project and one for the Vanilla. I.e. create two analysis platforms with three CAST AIP schemas each, via the "combined installation" option:

  • Management Service
  • Analysis Service
  • Dashboard Service

Here are some indicative schema sizes for a large PeopleSoft analysis (3.4 GB of source code):

Use the "combined installation" to create the three CAST AIP schemas:

  • Run CAST Server Manager (ServMan.exe) and choose the "Schema Installation/Schema Installation… option on the toolbar.
  • In the wizard, choose Initial platform base(s) installation > Additional Analysis platform

  • You will be prompted to choose the PeopleSoft extension to install:

  • Set the schema prefix (PSOFT5 for our example), then continue the wizard process:

  • CAST Server Manager will install three CAST AIP schemas named as follows:
    • PSOFT5_LOCAL (CAST Project Analysis Service)
    • PSOFT5_CENTRAL (CAST Dashboard Service)
    • PSOFT5_MNGT (for the CAST Management Service)
  • The extension will be installed at the same time.

  • You will be prompted to choose the PeopleSoft extension to install.
