If I were going to separate it out, I would create a new PPS DB with it's own SYSADM schema. What's one more db in PPS (PeopleSoft)? The PPS product requires more databases than any other product, even SAP. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hemant K Chitale Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:12 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Multiple (SYSADM) Schemas in a Peoplesoft Database I believe that Peoplesoft does allow multiple schemas (the default is SYSADM, so the multiples could be SYSADM_1, SYSADM_2 etc) in a single Oracle Database. This could support seperate business units in one Oracle instance. Has anyone implemented this in Production ? Particularly for Financials modules -- (GL, Payables, Assets) (Currently, we do have multiple BUs in the single SYSADM schema but I am asked to explore two options : a. Seperate Database Instances b. Seperate schemas in one Database Instance ) Hemant K Chitale http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
