Peoplesoft debug

PeopleSoft Application can be accessed in 3 tier mode using Application Designer. 3 tier connectivity means connecting to PeopleSoft Database via Application Server.

# 3 tier mode is very fast as compared to traditional 2 tier connectivity with DB because in this case no direct connections are established with DB. Also over WAN networks 3 tier connectivity is recommended.

# It is also used for Debugging purposes.

# Application Designer Connects to Application Server using WSL port that is mentioned in the application server configuration.

# Tuxedo should be installed on the client machine to connect with the Application Server.

Oracle client is not required for 3 tier connectivity.
