oracle peoplesoft installation – running the data mover from unix

i looked high and low for this and finally found it – works for PeopleTools 8.4x+:

note: you must have Tuxedo installed as it is required in order to run the Data Mover in a Unix shell.

execute the psconfig.sh to set the environment variables but first make sure the following variables in psconfig.sh have been modified to point the proper locations in your PS_HOME.

export PS_DM_DATA=default is $PS_HOME/data.
export PS_DM_SCRIPT=default is $PS_HOME/scripts.
export PS_DM_LOG=default is $PS_HOME/log.

. ./psconfig.sh

PS_DM_DATA = directory where the PS Data Mover executable searches for input data (.DAT) files.
PS_DM_SCRIPT=location of the ps Data Mover scripts files.
PS_DM_LOG=location of the PeopleSoft Data Mover log files.

run the PeopleSoft Data Mover executable:
