Interacting with a PeopleSoft application

To interact with a PeopleSoft application, obtain external software dependencies, run the Adapter Connection wizard, develop a message flow, then deploy the relevant resources.

About this task

To connect to a PeopleSoft application, the PeopleSoft adapter requires certain files and libraries. You must store these files so that they are accessible to the Adapter Connection wizard. The wizard creates various resources, such as an adapter component and message flow. After you have completed the wizard, you can develop a message flow to define the interaction with the PeopleSoft application, then deploy the relevant resources.

Procedure

  1. To configure the PeopleSoft application to work with the adapter, create a custom event project, as described in Creating a custom event project in PeopleTools.
  2. Before you run the Adapter Connection wizard, gather the following information from your PeopleSoft administrator:
    • PeopleSoft user name
    • PeopleSoft password
    • PeopleSoft host name or IP address
    • Port number (for example, 9000)
    • Language code (for example, ENG)
    For more information, see PeopleSoft connection properties for the Adapter Connection wizard.
  3. To connect to PeopleSoft by using the Adapter Connection wizard, and create a message flow, follow the instructions in Connecting to an EIS by using the Adapter Connection wizard.
  4. Develop your message flow to define the interaction with the PeopleSoft application.
  5. Deploy the appropriate resources, as described in Including WebSphere Adapters resources in a BAR file.
