Out of date, but still useful; Excellent Bea Tuxedo Material

Although PeopleSoft 8 differs in significant ways from version 7 that is addressed in this book, the material is still invaluable. In particular, the authors impart a deep knowledge of PeopleSoft, Tivoli and Tuxedo. In fact, I gained more tips about Tuxedo (an integral part of both PeopleSoft 7x and 8x) from this book than from a pile of resource material from Bea and PeopleSoft. I also gained a deeper understanding of Tivoli and how it can be used to effectively monitor PeopleSoft or any other distributed application. Note that the Tivoli material in this book is also out of date, but a surprisingly large amount is still useful.You're walked through the actual configuration and installation of Tivoli, which is well done with screenshots and brief, but descriptive explanations. In addition, there is a CD ROM that ships with this book, which contains UNIX shell scripts, most of which are for monitoring Tuxedo. I gave this book 4 stars because it is out of date with respect to PeopleSoft and Tivoli - however, I didn't give it less (which I normally do for such books) because there is still much that you can learn from it and apply to PeopleSoft 8 with a little research and careful planning.
