The iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft provides
a means to exchange real-time business data between PeopleSoft systems
and other application, database, or external business partner systems.
The adapter enables external applications for inbound and outbound
processing with PeopleSoft.
The adapter uses XML messages to enable non-PeopleSoft applications
to communicate and exchange transactions with PeopleSoft using services
and events.
- Services: Applications
use this capability to initiate a PeopleSoft business event. Services
also are referred to as component methods.
- Events: Applications
use this capability to access PeopleSoft data only when a PeopleSoft
business event occurs. Events also are referred to as messages.
When you access a PeopleSoft component from another application,
you use:
- Component
Interfaces. If a Component Interface does not exist, create,
secure, and test one. For more information, see Using Component
Interfaces or your PeopleSoft documentation.
If the Component
Interface exists, but you modified it, secure and test it. For more information,
see Using Component
Interfaces or your PeopleSoft documentation.
Alternatively,
you can secure and test the Component Interface and create the Component
Interface API after you generate schemas or web services.
- Component
Interface APIs. Create an API for the Component Interface. For
more information, see Generating
Component Interface APIs.
- Schemas and
web services. Create schemas or web services for the component
methods. For more information, see Creating XML Schemas
or Web Services for PeopleSoft.
To receive a message from PeopleSoft, you use:
- The Integration
environment. Configure and test your PeopleSoft Integration
Broker (release 8.4) or Application Messaging environment (release
8.1). For information on properly configuring the environment, see Using PeopleSoft
8 Integration Broker or your PeopleSoft documentation.
- Message routing. Configure
TCP/IP Target Connector (release 8.4), HTTP Target Connector (release
8.4), or TCP/IP Handler (release 8.1). For more information, see Configuring the
PeopleSoft Message Router.
