PeopleTools Compare/Copy Projects

I would like to share some findings/issues with Compare Projects between instances.

1. Issue: XML Objects will not be migrated properly when you copy.
Resolution: If you have XML Objects in your project, make sure that you add XML Objects to your project again, after you compare and before migrate. or in other words after you add XML objects you should not compare.
2. Issue: Roles will not be Compared.
Resolution: Don't Panic, Compare Manually. Open PIA of Source and Destination and compare manually.
3. Issue: Processes Definitions and Job Definition will be shown in Compare report even after migration was successful.
Resolution: Compare manually from PIA.

Issue: PeopleSoft Webserver(WebSphere) not getting Stopped

Issue: Not Able to stop PeopleSoft Webserver(WebSphere).
Symptoms: When trying to stop service with command 'stopServer.sh server1', it has shown the following message
0000000a SSLConfigMana I CWPKI0027I: Disabling default hostname verification for HTTPS URL connections.
0000000a AdminTool A ADMU3201I: Server stop request issued. Waiting for stop status.

and after that i neither get the following confirmation message nor error message:

0000000a AdminTool A ADMU4000I: Server server1 stop completed.

Resolution: Resolution is to kill the WebService process. Difficult part is to find process ID to be killed. there is a way to findout the process ID of the WebService. in the following path

PSHOME:/psoft/[instance name]/webserv/[Instance Name]/logs/server1/

'*.pid' file will contain Process ID of the WebService. Before you kill make sure that you kill child processes if any.
