Adding external software dependencies for PeopleSoft

Before you can develop message flows that use WebSphere® Adapters nodes, you must add prerequisite files to the runtime environment.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the relevant prerequisite files for your PeopleSoft system.
  • psjoa.jar
  • A JAR file that contains the component interface API classes
Save both support files to a directory such as C:\PeopleSoft_LIB. (On Windows, the directory cannot be a mapped network drive on a remote Windows computer; the directory must be local or on a Storage Area Network (SAN) disk.) You can find the psjoa.jar file in the following location on the PeopleSoft Application Server: peopleTools_installation_directory\web\PSJOA\psjoa.jar. Use PeopleTools to generate the component interface JAR file for your business objects.

The sample resources that you need to set up the PeopleSoft system so that it can communicate with the integration node are in install_dir\tools\ResourceAdapters\PeopleSoft_version.

About this task

Locating the PeopleSoft support files in the run time on Windows

To add the PeopleSoft prerequisite files to the run time, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the integration node has started.
  2. Either open the Command Console, or open a Windows command prompt and enter mqsiprofile to initialize the environment.
  3. Enter the following command to display the locations of the prerequisite JAR files and native libraries: 
    mqsireportproperties IBNODE -c AllTypes -o AllReportableEntityNames  -r
    The following example shows what typically is displayed when you run this command:
    ReportableEntityName='' 
	EISProviders 
		JDEdwards=''
			jarsURL='default_Path'
			nativeLibs='default_Path' 
		PeopleSoft='' 
			jarsURL='default_Path' 
			nativeLibs='default_Path' 
		SAP='' 
			jarsURL='default_Path' 
			nativeLibs='default_Path' 
		Siebel='' 
			jarsURL='default_Path' 
			nativeLibs='default_Path' 
			siebelPropertiesURL=''
  4. Set the location of the PeopleSoft prerequisite files by using the following command: 
    mqsichangeproperties IBNODE -c EISProviders -o PeopleSoft -n jarsURL -v C:\PeopleSoft_LIB
  5. To check that the values have been set correctly, run the following command: 
    mqsireportproperties IBNODE -c EISProviders -o PeopleSoft -r
    The following example shows what is displayed by the mqsireportproperties command.
    ReportableEntityName=' '
EISProviders
	PeopleSoft=' '
		jarsURL='C:\PeopleSoft_LIB'
		
BIP8071I: Successful command completion.
  6. Restart the integration node.

What to do next

create a custom event project in PeopleTools.
