    Variable Description

    *psserver=//machinename:port

    The psserver parameter must point to your application server machine name or IPAddress, including the Jolt port. PeopleSoft recommends using the server machinename. The PeopleTools version on the application server must match the version of

    the PeopleTools files on the web server. The syntax of the value is:Jolt port

    UNIX servers require a domain name. For example,

    NT:psserver=SERVER010499:9000

    UNIX:psserver=server010400.peoplesoft.com:9000

    To enable Jolt failover and load balancing, include multiple application serverdomains delimited by commas. For example,

    NT:psserver=SERVER1:9000,SERVER2:9010
