Defining a Delivery Channel

This chapter describes how to use Oracle Application Server ProcessConnect to define a delivery channel to connect to a PeopleSoft Component Interface system.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

• Adding and Configuring a Delivery Channel

• Troubleshooting PeopleSoft Settings

Adding and Configuring a Delivery Channel

Part of the application definition includes adding a delivery channel for the adapter. Setting up the delivery channel in Oracle Application Server ProcessConnect requires information which is specific to the adapter.

   Table 2-1 PeopleSoft Specific Parameters

   Field	Description
   Name*	Enter a name for the delivery channel.
   Application Server Path*	Enter a string representing the machine and port on which the PeopleSoft Application Server is running and listening. The syntax is //machine_name:port. Ask your PeopleSoft Administrator for the port value.
   Maximum Number of Sessions	Enter the maximum number of sessions. The default value is 40 sessions. If you use a smaller value you may experience a degradation in runtime performance. The opposite is also true; a bigger value may exceed the ability of the server and can result in runtime errors.
   Date Format	Date format when the value is not used as a key. Each Y represents a year digit (up to 4). Each M represents a month digit (up to 2). Each D represents a day digit (up to 2). Non-alphanumeric characters must appear literally. The default format is YYYY-MM-DD.
   User Name*	Enter a PeopleSoft user name to log on to the PeopleSoft system.
   Password*	Enter the password of the specified user. You must have developer rights to the areas of the PeopleSoft system you want to access.
