Elasticsearch
Is your organization considering Elasticsearch? Then this is a must-watch video with some great overview information.
The key take-aways and content include:
- SES and Verity will be deprecated in PeopleTools 8.56
- SES will be supported in PeopleTools 8.55 until April 2018
- Do not deploy Elasticsearch from their website, there is a very specific PeopleSoft version that needs to be deployed
- Utilizes PeopleSoft security so any search returns will only return information that the user is subject to view based on the PeopleSoft security setup
- The video discusses 3 cases or situations those deploying Elasticsearch may encounter
- Fresh install: (No SES currently deployed but may have Verity)
- Migration: Move from SES currently in use with planned down time for the conversion over to Elasticsearch
- Migration: Move from SES with a live cutover (no down time for SES during the transition)
- The bulk of the video discusses 7 steps to transition to Elasticsearch in good detail:
- Estimate resource requirements
- Deploy on server using DPK
- Take new features and fixes to PeopleSoft and Elasticsearch
- Perform acceptance testing
- Build PeopleSoft search indexes on Elasticsearch
- Configure PeopleSoft integration with Elasticsearch
- Migrate to Elasticsearch instance
