This articles will discuss How to Install PeopleSoft Pre built HCM 9.2 Virtual Machine Image o your Windows Laptop or Desktop.
Before starting the discussion lets go to background of PeopleSoft Pre built virtual machine Image.PUM Technology is the behind of PeopleSoft Virtual Machine. As Per PeopleSoft Technology Blog ,

Oracle and the PeopleSoft team have changed the way all maintenance and functionality is being delivered starting in PeopleSoft 9.2 using the new PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM).

I will not discuss details of PUM technology but you can read the details from here PeopleTools Technology blog – PeopleSoft Update Manager

Please go to The PUM Home Page. Single site that contains all PUM related content, training, and image schedules.
For that you need have valid My Oracle Support Login Access.If you have access then please go to PUM Update Image Home Page, on navigation menu you can see the application specific image for e.g HCM Update Image , FSCM Update Image etc.

For our tutorial we have downloaded HCM 9.2.010 Update Image which consists of brand new PeopleTools 8.54 ( which have Fluid UI , Materialized View for Oracle Database ). If you have downloaded other than HCM then please note that installation is exactly same as below , only application is different. So using HCM ( Human Capital Management ) tutorial you can install FSCM ( Finance & Supply Chain Management ) , ELM ( Enterprise Learning Management ) & CRM ( Custom Relationship Management ).

So download your copy with patience because approx 30 GB size of each PUM Image & follow the procedure to install.

We have Installed HCM 9.2.010 on Windows 8.1 64bit systems , Intel Core i5 3rd Processor with 4 GB RAM on my laptop.
