Frequent change has been one of the blessings of PeopleSoft. Standing pat could have happened at anytime. I remember when client/server was all the rage. C/S was what was selling but PeopleSoft recognized the internet as the new paradigm and invested in it. Kudos to PS for changing and surviving.

The PeopleCode syntax highlighting came in PeopleTools 8.44.

To be perfectly honest (at least on Windows) there isn’t much to complicate VM Ware, but it’s a great solution for having multiple PeopleSoft environments at your fingertips.

VMWare Server and Player are free – although to be honest the Workstation version is preferable for this task.

Once you install VMWare, load your OS and then the rest of the PeopleSoft stack is not much different from an install on physical hardware.

That’s pretty cool.

I was looking at doing a VM install for an older version of Vantive and one for PS CRM. Unfortunately, I’m not all that sure about what’s needed from the VM ware side.

Any chance you can post some docs/tips/pointers on how you put that together? From what I’ve seen, VMWare is really making headway in production instances.
