SES: - Validation failed : Call back URL does not match with Target Location URL (262,1313)

When running validation on the Search Instance “Call Back Properties”, the validation fails with the error:

The cause of the error is that the Search Instance “Call back URL” and the Integration Broker “Target Location URL” are not the same – both the URLs need to have the exact same value or they will not pass validation, resulting in the “Call back URL does not match with Target Location URL” error.

Compare the Search Framework “Call Back” URL value to the Integration Broker “Target Location” URL as follows:

Check Integration Broker “Target Location” URL:

1. Navigate to PeopleTools -> Integration Broker -> Configuration -> Service Configuration
2. Click “Setup Target Locations”
3. Check the “Target Location”
4. Get the URL mentioned in the Target Location field.

Update the Call Back Properties Section

1. Navigate to PeopleTools, Search Framework, Administration, Search Instance
2. Go to the Call Back Properties section and update the URL value in the “URL” field.
3. Hit Save.

After you update the URLs to be the same value, then rerun the Search Instance “Call Back Validation” to verify it is successful.

Step2. Place\Create the below script “decrypt.py” file in E:\psft\PSHDEV\webserv\peoplesoft\security directory and paste the following code into it:

import os
import weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni
import weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService

def decrypt(domainHomeName, encryptedPwd):
    domainHomeAbsolutePath = os.path.abspath(domainHomeName)
    encryptionService = weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService(domainHomeAbsolutePath)
    ces = weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService(encryptionService)
    clear = ces.decrypt(encryptedPwd)
    print "Decrypted Password:" + clear


try:
    if len(sys.argv) == 3:
        decrypt(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])

Can You Use MS Office 365 with PeopleSoft?

One of our PeopleSoft Client - The business would like to switch from normal MS Office to Office 365 for some reason!!

Details from oracle support:
**********************************

June 6, 2014. Microsoft has released a new licensing option for their Office suite, Office 365.  There are a number of licensing options for businesses, with different billing options and numbers of users.  Some of the options include the desktop versions of various Office products, some do not.  

For quite some time PeopleSoft has enabled the use of several of the Office desktop products such as Excel with PeopleSoft nVision, and Word with several PeopleSoft applications.  PeopleSoft’s certification of these Office products depends on a local installation of the desktop application.  If PeopleSoft customers would like to subscribe to Office 365 instead of purchasing an Office desktop license, they may do so as long as they select a subscription which includes access to the desktop version of the applications.  A good comparison of business options for Office 365 can be found on Microsoft’s website.

Oracle plans to continue to certify new Office desktop products like Office 2013 with PeopleSoft applications on a timely basis.  As Microsoft releases updated versions, Oracle will promptly evaluate and certify these new versions.  For information on the latest Office 2013 certifications with PeopleTools 8.53, please refer to the following Tech Update:

First Certifications of Office 2013 Now Complete for PeopleSoft Note:1628388.1
