Build you own PeopleSoft OVA?

[MarkCoulstock]

Hi all,

Our PeopleSoft HCM 9.2 environments are currently hosted by Oracle, but we want to experiment and play with the PeopleTools upgrade from 8.53 to 8.55 on a local instance.

We would like to do the tools upgrade in a virtualized local instance so we don't have to provision local hardware. This instance would need to be built using a copy of one of our hosted environments so that we can upgrade our tools using the same process we'd use in our hosted environments.

We can't use the PeopleSoft delivered virtual box downloads becuase they're already at tools 8.55, and don't contain our customizations.

Can anyone provide us with any help/advice/guidance on how or if its possible to export an existing PeopleSoft environment to an OVA file that we could import into our virtual environment?
