The Siebel Connector for PeopleSoft includes the following features:

Integration Infrastructure
Prebuilt Integration Objects and Workflow Processes
Mobile User Support

These features and associated functions are discussed below.

Integration Infrastructure

Siebel Connector for PeopleSoft provides tools for defining and maintaining integration points. In addition to design-time tools, the Siebel Connector for PeopleSoft provides run-time components that you can use to manage data exchanges between the two applications.

Prebuilt Integration Objects and Workflows

The Siebel Connector for PeopleSoft provides prebuilt integration objects and workflows.

Integration Objects. These objects represent the common data exchanged between Siebel applications and PeopleSoft applications. External integration objects (PeopleSoft Integration Objects) model the data represented by PeopleSoft. They specify the data structure of the PeopleSoft interfaces. For example, a PeopleSoft customer integration object represents the table structure in PeopleSoft that is used to import customer information into PeopleSoft applications. Internal integration objects (Siebel Integration Objects) define the data structure used by the Siebel application. For instance, a Siebel Account integration object defines the data structures of the Account business components used in a particular integration flow.
Siebel Integration Workflows. These workflows determine the sequence of processing steps involved in data exchanges between the Siebel application and PeopleSoft. You can modify and extend workflows with the Siebel Workflow Designer. This allows you to add business logic that closely models your business processes.

Mobile User Support

The Siebel Connector for PeopleSoft allows Siebel eBusiness Applications users to access and update PeopleSoft while they are disconnected from the network. It uses Siebel Remote to synchronize information stored on the Siebel Server with local databases maintained by the Siebel Mobile Web Client, and maintain a queue of transaction data destined for PeopleSoft.

Incoming transactions from PeopleSoft to Siebel eBusiness Applications are routed to mobile users according to visibility rules defined in the Siebel Repository for Siebel Remote. Outgoing transactions, such as account updates from mobile users, are queued in their local databases. When these mobile users synchronize with the Siebel Server, their transactions are placed in the server queue and subsequently routed to PeopleSoft through the interfaces described in this guide.
