I did a quick survey of the latest PeopleSoft manuals to find a set of links to pass on to a couple of coworkers of mine that are interested in doing PeopleSoft DBA work so I thought I’d include the links in a post. This might give a new PeopleSoft DBA some highlights without having to read the entire manual set.
This page has a nice picture of how the environments connect:

hi bob, any quick documentation on performance monitoring tools/commands/analysis for peoplesoft, jolt and tuxedo !!?? thanks in advance.
Sorry that I did not reply earlier. I was on vacation over the holidays. PeopleSoft comes with a performance monitoring tool although we have it disabled because of the overhead. Mostly I use psadmin to look at the status of the app server so the documentation on psadmin would cover that.
