Environment Management Framework

Environment Management Framework (EMF) is a product that gathers and publishes PeopleSoft installation, configuration, and update information. It enables you to identify and view data about PeopleSoft environments. You can use EMF to obtain a snapshot of configuration and setup information about the file servers, the web servers, the application servers, the individual hosts, and the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler servers that comprise your PeopleSoft system. EMF also provides a vehicle to carry out commands remotely on different machines on the network, directed by Change Assistant, which uses EMF to apply updates to PeopleSoft installations and configurations. EMF consists of the following core elements:

• An Environment Management agent.

An Environment Management agent is a Java executable. One instance of the agent can run at a time per physical machine. The Environment Management agent initiates communication to the hub and is assigned a unique peer ID. This ID persists and is reused for later connections by the agent.

• The Environment Management hub.

The Environment Management hub is a web application that’s installed with the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture and portal. It’s started along with the rest of the web applications when the user boots the web server. The hub is the broker for all communication between peers.

• The Environment Management viewer.

The Environment Management viewer is a command-line tool that helps customers view data that is retrieved from the Environment Management hub. This data is saved in an XML file that contains data that is specific to individual customers—such as information about environments, software updates, hosts, file servers, application servers, PeopleSoft Process Schedulers, and web servers. Users can view this static data in HTML.
