Configure Online help for PeopleTools 8.53 and Application FSCM 92
a)      Configure Online People Books for PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.53
b)      Configure Online People Books for PeopleSoft Application FSCM 9.2

a)      Configure Online People Books for PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.53

1)      Download PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.53 Online Help - Revision 1 (V37628-01.zip) file from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.
2)      Unzip this file to
               D:\PS\webserv\FI92PRD\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war
                You can find pt853pbr1 folder under the PORTAL.war
                Now open PIA , Go to Main Menu à People Tools à Web Profile à Web Profile Configuration
               Help URL:  In this text field you have to specify the URL like below for the Help link in PIA
3)      Shutdown the Application Server and Web Server and delete the cache of both the domains and restart the two domains. Log on to PIA , you can find the Help link at the top-right corner of PIA.
Testing: open PIA and go to any page than click Help link, it will open a new browser with the    page information.

b)      Configure Online People Books for PeopleSoft Application FSCM 9.2

1)      Download PeopleSoft Application PeopleSoft Financials and Supply Chain Management 9.2 Online Help (through Update Image 4) from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

2)      Create one new folder. Copy downloaded zip file to the new folder and unzip it. After unzipping it will create one folder name with fscm92pbr2. Open this folder, here you can find 2 zip files (apphelp.zip and helpupdate76782.zip) and one text file (README.txt). Open the text file, here we can see all the steps how to configure the application online books.

3)      Copy the content in the README.txt and paste it to Word Document.



4)      Extract the contents of apphelp.zip to the folder where you extracted the PeopleTools online help files.

D:\PS\webserv\FI92PRD\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\ pt853pbr1

5)      Check the revision number of the common.js file in your installed PeopleSoft Online Help website to determine whether you need to install the update to the PeopleSoft Online Help website (helpupdate76782.zip).

6)      Open the installed common.js file through web browser.

Check the $revision number (66117r1$),  If no revision information appears, or if the revision number is less than the number that appears at the beginning of this README.txt (76782$) file, then you need to install the update to the PeopleSoft Online Help website.

Now it has the $revision number 66117$ and it is less than the 76782$.

That means you have to update the PeopleSoft Online Help website with helpupdate76782.zip file.
Unzip and merge this helpupdate76782.zip file to

D:\PS\webserv\FI92PRD\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\ pt853pbr1

7)      Open common.js in a text editor which is located in

D:\PS\webserv\FI92PRD\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL.war\pt853pbr1\js folder

8)      Uncomment lines for product line that are not installed by using    //

//prodlines[prodlines.length] = "crm";   //Customer Relationship Management
                //prodlines[prodlines.length] = "elm";   //Enterprise Learning Management
//prodlines[prodlines.length] = "epm";   //Enterprise Performance Management
 prodlines[prodlines.length] = "fscm";  //Financials Supply Chain Management
 //prodlines[prodlines.length] = "hcm";   //Human Capital Management
 //prodlines[prodlines.length] = "cs";    //Campus Solutions
 prodlines[prodlines.length] = "pt";    //PeopleTools
 //prodlines[prodlines.length] = "ps";    //Portal Solutions

And save it.


9)      Shutdown the Application Server and Web Server and delete the cache of both the domains and restart the two domains.

Testing: open PIA and go to any Application related page than click Help link, it will open a new browser with the    page information.
