Configuring the Adapter

The initial configuration for the iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft consists of the following key steps.

1. Consult with your PeopleSoft system administrator to determine the PeopleTools version being used (not the PeopleSoft system/application version).

   The iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft follows and is directed by the PeopleTools version (not the PeopleSoft system/application version). After you have determined the PeopleTools version, see Specifying the Version of PeopleSoft to configure the adapter to use PeopleTools version 8.1 or version 8.4.

4. If you are using PeopleTools version 8.1 and require use of the adapter to consume events from PeopleSoft (messages from PeopleSoft), then you must install the iWay prepackaged listener on the PeopleSoft system. For more information, see Installing the TCP/IP Message Router for the iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft.

7. If the adapter requires subscribing to messages (events) from PeopleSoft, then the application must be configured for this purpose. For more information, see Configuring the PeopleSoft Message Router.

   You must refer to the section that corresponds to your PeopleTools version (8.1 or 8.4). If your PeopleTools version is 8.48 or higher (8.4 series), see Using PeopleSoft 8 Integration Broker.

Role: Integrator

1. Start iWay Explorer, as described in Starting iWay Explorer.
2. Create and configure an adapter target for your PeopleSoft system, as described in Establishing a Target for PeopleSoft.
3. Create an schema (.xsd) document for the selected PeopleSoft Component Interface, as described in Creating an XML Schema.
4. Create a web service for the selected PeopleSoft Component Interface, as described in Generating a Web Service for PeopleSoft.

   Notes:

   • The above steps can be repeated for all required PeopleSoft Component Interfaces.
   • Any additional integration tasks should be performed through iWay Integration Tools (iIT) and iWay Service Manager (iSM) using the web services and XML schema documents (.xsd) that were generated for selected PeopleSoft Component Interfaces. For more information, refer to the iSM and iIT user documentation.
