Setting Up PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM Infosync Applications

This chapter discusses how to:

Note. This chapter covers tasks that are involved in setting up PeopleSoft Enterprise Infosync Server and Client. Administrators can take full advantage of the system-delivered data that is predefined for some tasks (for example, dataset rules, dataset roles, and PIM preferences), or they can modify and create new rules and preferences that best fit their business needs.

Be sure to read and perform installation and configuration tasks documented in the PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM 9 Supplemental Installation Documentation for Infosync applications where applicable.

Click to jump to parent topicDefining Dataset Rules and Roles

This section discusses how to:

A dataset is a collection of dataset rules that are used to determine what data end users receive on their PIM server as a result of a synchronization. In the integration setup process, you define the relationship between end users and dataset rules using this logic:

When synchronization completes, users receive updates on data based on the associated dataset rules. For example, suppose that you use the system-delivered dataset rules for synchronizing sales user tasks. After synchronization, the updates that sales users get for the task object come from their own tasks (rule: MY TASKS), tasks that are assigned to their leads (rule: TASKS ON MY LEADS), and opportunities (rule: TASKS ON MY OPPORTUNITIES). PeopleSoft delivers predefined datasets and datasets rules for this integration. You can modify them or create custom ones to work with your implementation.

Note. If a user is no longer associated with a contact, consumer, or worker (for example, a sales user reassigns a lead task to another person and therefore does not receive any updates about the lead's contacts from the CONTACTS_FOR_LEAD_TASK_ASSIGNEE dataset rules), the record is removed from the user's address book.

See PeopleSoft Enterprise Components for CRM 9 PeopleBook

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicDefining Dataset Roles

Access the PIM Roles page.

PeopleSoft delivers two predefined dataset roles: PIM Field Service Role and PIM Sales Role. The Administrator specifies the dataset and dataset rules for each supported object.

Dataset Name

Select a dataset for each object that you want to synchronize: contact, consumer, worker, task, task summary, and calendar. All of the associated rules are available in the Rule grid after you select a dataset.

Rule

Select dataset rules that are applicable to this role.

Note. You don't need to select all of the rules that are defined in a dataset for the dataset role. For example, if sales users prefer to see updates on tasks that are assigned to only them, select the My Tasks rule for the PIM Sales role.

See Defining Overall Preferences.

Debug

Select to allow more specific information (for example, technical errors and message logs that are sometimes not end-user friendly) to be captured and displayed on the PIM Errors page. This is useful for administrators to debug and troubleshoot the application.

PIM Application Type

Identifies the PIM server type and other relevant information of the PIM server that is pertinent to this integration. Information in this group box is used by the PIM_ID_SYNC application engine program.

Note. Information that is entered in this group box pertains to PeopleSoft Enterprise Infosync Server and does not apply to the client application. However, PeopleSoft recommends that you select the PIM application type.

PIM Type (Personal Information Manager type)

Select the PIM application (Lotus Domino or Microsoft Exchange client/server) to use in the integration: Client - Exchange, Client - Domino, Server - Exchange and Server - Domino.

Mail Domain Name and Mail Folder

Enter the domain for the Microsoft Exchange server or the folder in which the mail server resides for the Lotus Domino server.

The name of this field is Mail Folder if the PIM type is Domino. The name changes to Mail Domain Name if the PIM type is Exchange.

PIA Server

Specify the name of the machine where the CRM system resides.

User Group

Enter the name of the user group in IMS to which users associated with this preference profile belong.

Address Book

This section is unavailable if the selected PIM type is Exchange.

Server Name

Enter the name of the server where the address book resides.

This value is used for exporting users from the CRM system and importing them to the Infosync Server.

Note. You must place an address book on the server to enable synchronization of contacts by PeopleSoft Enterprise Infosync Server.

Name Prefix and Name Suffix

(Optional) Enter the prefix and suffix to be added as part of the address book name for users.

When you run the application engine program to export PeopleSoft user IDs, it generates address book names for users using this format:

<address book name prefix><ShortName><address book name suffix>.nsf

where ShortName is the user's ID that can be located on the Basics tab of the user's person record in Lotus Notes. The field label is Short name/UserID and the field value is used as part of the address book name.

To adhere to address book naming convention, leave the name prefix blank and enter _NAB as the suffix.

General Settings

Information that is entered into this group box pertains to PeopleSoft CRM.

PIA URI

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSpecifying PIM Preferences for Contacts

Access the Contact page.

Contact

Specifies the synchronization preference that applies to contacts.

Role Name

Select the role for which the PIM preference is created. Dataset roles are defined on the PIM Roles page.

Category

Enter a category that is used by the Infosync applications to identify which contacts on the PIM client are to be synchronized.

The contact category that you specify in this field must be identical to the one that users use to categorize contacts in the address book. Contacts that don't belong to this category are not synchronized. You can change the category name to anything during setup, but ensure that the filter and the category mapping are updated as well. The default value is Contact.

Allowed Actions from PIM

Select to provide users who are associated with this preference the ability to add, update, and delete contacts from their address books and synchronize the change in PeopleSoft CRM.

If any of these operations is disabled, any user who tries to synchronize a contact to PeopleSoft CRM using the unauthorized operation will receive an error message on the PIM Errors page. The corresponding contact in PeopleSoft CRM is not affected and is used to roll back to the user's address book in the next synchronization. However, if a user adds or updates a contact directly from PeopleSoft CRM, the change is synchronized in the PIM system and is available to users who receive updates on this contact (based on dataset rules). This is because the add, update, and delete operation settings do not control data flow originating from PeopleSoft CRM to the PIM system.

Note. You cannot delete contacts from PeopleSoft CRM.

Support Multiple Companies and Company Separator

Select to enable synchronization to support a one-to-many relationship between contacts and companies. From the address book, users can enter multiple companies for a contact in this format:

<company1>;<company2>;<company3>

where ; (semicolon) is the default company separator. Do not enter a space between a company name and separator.

When the contact record is synchronized to PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM, it is associated with companies that were previously specified on the PIM client. From the PIM client's perspective, the company that has the longest relationship with the contact ranks first in the array of companies. If a new company is added to the contact in PeopleSoft CRM, the new company appears at the end of the list after synchronization. If you add a new company to the contact in the address book and put the new company in the front, it is automatically placed at the end in the next synchronization.

If this feature is disabled, the synchronization process handles only the newest company relationship. If the user clears the company field in a contact record, the current relationship becomes inactive; if the user updates the company name to a new one, the relationship with the new company becomes active. The old company remains in the contact record and it is no longer synchronized. By default, this feature is disabled.

To enter multiple companies for a contact in Lotus Notes, click the drop-down list box for the Company field, and enter the companies (in a formatted manner) in the New keyword field.

Note. PeopleSoft recommends that you consider this configuration a one-time setup process and do not change it after implementation.

Contact 360-Degree View Link

Select to enable the contact URL to be synchronized to the PIM side. The URL address is specified using the PIA URL field on the Setup page. If this is disabled, the URL will not be synchronized.

Note. You must associate the contact with a company for this URL to link to the contact.

Allow Add with Invalid Company

Select to allow newly created contacts to be synchronized to PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM, even if they are associated with companies that do not exist in PeopleSoft CRM. When that happens, the Infosync applications send a message to users stating that the invalid company is ignored while the contact is synchronized to the CRM server. That means that the contact is added to PeopleSoft CRM without a company.

If this feature is disabled, users get an error message if they try to synchronize any newly created contact with an invalid company name; the contact is not synchronized.

Do Not Delete Invalid Company

Select this option if you do not want Infosync applications to send a request to IMS to remove the company name from the contact data if the company is not valid in the customer data model (CDM).

My Contact List

Specifies the synchronization preference that applies to the My Contact List.

Add

Select to enable contacts to be added to the PIM system.

Delete

Select to enable contacts to be deleted from the PIM system.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSpecifying PIM Preferences for Consumers

Access the Consumer page.

Consumer

Specifies the synchronization preference that applies to consumers.

Enable Consumer

Select to enable contacts (with a consumer specific category) in the address book to be synchronized as consumers in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM. If you decide not to support synchronization of consumers, clear this check box to deactivate the rest of the page; users who are associated with this PIM preference receive an “object type not enabled” error message on their PIM Errors page when they try to synchronize consumers to PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM.

Role Name

Select the role for which the PIM preference is created. Dataset roles are defined on the PIM Roles page.

Category

Enter a category that is used by PeopleSoft Infosync applications to identify which consumers in the PIM server are to be synchronized. The consumer category that you specify in this field must be identical to the one that end users use to categorize consumers in the address book. Contacts that don't belong to this category are not synchronized as consumers in PeopleSoft CRM. You can change the category name to anything during setup, but update the filter and the category mapping as well. The default value is Consumer.

Allowed Action from PIM

Select to provide users who are associated with this preference the ability to add, update, and delete consumers (as a type of contacts) from their address books and synchronize the change in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM.

If any of these operations is disabled, any user who tries to synchronize a consumer to PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM using the unauthorized operation will receive an error message on the PIM Errors page. The corresponding consumer in PeopleSoft CRM is not affected and rolls back to the user's address book in the next synchronization. However, if a user adds or updates a consumer directly from PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM, the change is synchronized on the PIM side and is available to all users who receive updates on this consumer (based on dataset rules). This is because the add, update, and delete operation settings do not control data flow originating from PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM to the PIM system.

Note. You cannot delete consumers from PeopleSoft CRM.

Consumer 360 Degree View Link

Select to allow the consumer URL to be synchronized to the PIM side. The URL address is specified using the PIA URL field on the Setup page. If this is disabled the URL will not be synchronized.

Note. The consumer must be associated with a company for this URL to link to the consumer.

My Contact List

Specifies the synchronization preference that applies to the My Contact List.

Add

Select to enable consumers to be added to the PIM system.

Delete

Select to enable consumers to be deleted from the PIM system.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSpecifying PIM Preferences for Workers

Access the Worker page.

Worker

Specifies the synchronization preference that applies to workers.

Enable Worker

Select to enable contacts (with a worker specific category) on the PIM client to be synchronized as workers in PeopleSoft CRM. If you decide not to support synchronization of workers, clear this check box to deactivate the rest of the page; users who are associated with this PIM preference get an “object type not enabled” error message when they try to synchronize workers to PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM.

Role Name

Select the role for which the PIM preference is created. Dataset roles are defined on the PIM Roles page.

Category

Enter a category that is used by the Infosync applications to identify which workers on the PIM client are to be synchronized. The worker category that you specify in this field must be identical to the one that you use to categorize workers on the PIM client. Contacts that don't belong to this category are not synchronized as workers. You can change the category name to anything during setup, but also update the filter and the category mapping. The default value is Worker.

Allowed Actions from PIM

Select to provide end users who are associated with this preference the ability to update and delete workers (as a type of contacts) from the PIM client and synchronize the change in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM.

If any of these operations is disabled, any end user who tries to synchronize a worker to PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM using the unauthorized operation will receive an error message on the PIM Errors page. The corresponding worker in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM is not affected and is rolled back to the user's address book in the next synchronization. However, if a user updates a worker directly from PeopleSoft CRM, the change is synchronized on the PIM client and is available to users who receive updates on this worker (based on dataset rules). This is because the update and delete operation settings do not control data flow originating from PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM to the PIM system.

Secure Home Contact Methods

Select to prevent worker home contact information from being synchronized to the PIM side. This includes the phone number, address, and email that has Home as the purpose, as well as pager number that has Pager 1 or Pager 2 as the purpose in PeopleSoft CRM. For example, if you map the business address type (PIM system) to the home address type (PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM) on the Address page of the PIM preference, the business address on the PIM system is never synchronized. Home contact information in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM is secured: it doesn't take updates from the PIM system (no permission error occurs) and is not synchronized to it either. This feature is enabled by default.

If this check box is clear, the worker's home contact information still isn't synchronized to the PIM side. However, any update on it from the PIM client is synchronized to PeopleSoft CRM. You cannot see the change because of the security that is enforced for worker information in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM.

Note. In order for end users to add home contact information for a worker from the PIM system and have the information synchronized to PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM, the Secure Home Contact Methods feature must be disabled and end users must have a secured worker role. Secured worker roles are set up in the Secured Worker Role object. Select Set Up CRM, Security, Secured Worker Role.

Worker 360 Degree View Link

Select to enable the worker URL to be synchronized to the PIM side. The URL address is specified using the PIA URL field on the Setup page. If this is disabled, the URL will not be synchronized.

Note. You must associate the worker with a company for this URL to link to the worker.

My Contact List

Specifies the synchronization preference that applies to My Contact List.

Delete

Select to enable workers to be deleted from the PIM system.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicSpecifying Contact Method Mapping

Access the Address page.

Addresses and Phones

Home Address Type, Business Address Type, and Other Address Type

Enter contact method purposes (defined in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM) that home, business, and other addresses in the PIM system are mapped to in PeopleSoft CRM after synchronization. A contact method purpose indicates when the specified contact method may be used. For example, suppose that you typically send business-related correspondence to a contact using the contact's business address. To deliver an urgent document to the contact after office hours, you can use the home address. The default contact method purposes for home, business and other address types are Home, Business, or Other.

If you change the address types, the next synchronization becomes an initial synchronization.

Note. The Other address type is applicable to Microsoft Exchange Server only.

Primary Address Type

Select the primary address type: Home, Business, and Other. If a contact has multiple addresses, the one that belongs to this address type becomes the primary address for the contact in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM.

Home Phone Type, Business Phone Type, and Other Phone Type

Enter contact method purposes (defined in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM) that home, business, and other phones in the PIM system are mapped to in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM after synchronization. The default contact method purposes for home, business, and other phone types are Home, Business, and Other.

Note. The Other phone type is applicable to Microsoft Exchange Server only.

Phone Ext (phone extension)

Enter a prefix for phone extensions. The Infosync applications support phone extensions in all phone types.

Calendar

Specifies the synchronization preference that applies to calendar items.

Role Name

Select the role for which the PIM preference is created. Dataset roles are defined on the PIM Roles page.

Category

Enter a category that is used by PeopleSoft Infosync applications to identify which items in the calendar are to be synchronized. The calendar category that you specify in this field must be identical to the one that you use to categorize calendar items in the PIM system. Calendar items that don't belong to this category are not synchronized. You can change the category name during setup, but make sure that you also update the filter and the category mapping. The default value is PeopleSoft.

Allowable Actions from PIM

Select to provide users who are associated with this preference the ability to add, update, and delete items from the calendar and synchronize the change in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM.

If any of these operations is disabled, any user who tries to synchronize a calendar item to PeopleSoft CRM using the unauthorized operation will receive an error message on the PIM Errors page. The corresponding calendar item in PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM is not impacted and rolls back to the user's calendar in the next synchronization.

If a user adds, updates, or deletes a calendar item directly from PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM, the change is synchronized to the PIM system and is available to users who receive updates on this calendar item (based on dataset rules), regardless of the selection. This is because the add, update, and delete operation settings do not control data flow originating from PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM to the PIM system.

Note. You must specify this value for PIM end users because the Infosync applications use it as a default value in scenarios where a user adds a contact in the address book but forgets to enter a country for the contact. When synchronization occurs, the process populates the contact's missing country value with the localization country value of the user (who creates the contact); otherwise, the user receives synchronization errors.

PIM Preference ID

Select a PIM preference with which the user is associated. When synchronization occurs, the process verifies the user's PIM preference and dataset rules that are associated with that preference to determine what data gets updated in the PIM server for the user.

By default, data synchronization does not occur for exported users during the user export process. To allow data synchronization to occur for these users while a user export process is in progress, set the line $sync=0 to $sync=1 in the export file that is created by export process before importing users in IMS.

Note. If you use UserManager to export users it is not necessary to use this process, because exports occur automatically. You can still use this process to perform manual exports.

Refer to the installation document for more information on the user export process.

This section discusses what you need to do in order to create users through LDAP.

You should complete the following steps:

  1. Schedule user group sync that imports users from LDAP into Intellisync, and set up the group in Intellisync.

  2. Schedule User Manager, which registers users as PIM users in PIA and creates and configures Intellisync users for them. In order to run this job, you must first configure it by editing its .ini file.

    Refer to your Intellisync documentation for more information.

Example: Exchange Server

The .ini file format for Exchange is as follows:

CONSOLIDATE=true URL=http://10.197.4.181/usrmgr/userManager.asp OUTPUT=userManagerLog.xml XML=<PARAM NAME="PROCESS_EA">TRUE</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="PROCESS_XML">TRUE</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="PROCESS_EXCHANGE">TRUE</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="XML_TRANSLATORID">100</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="XML_LOOKUPFUNC">lookupPIAXML ('http://adas0102/PSIGW/HttpListeningConnector?From=PSFT_PIM&amp; To=PSFT_CR&amp;MessageName=PIM_CONTACT_SYNC&amp; MessageType=sync&amp;Password=infosync')</PARAM>

The variable parameters are:

Parameter

Description

URL=http://XX.XXX.X.XXX/usrmagr/userManager.asp

This is the IP (internet protocol) address of the machine where the Infosync Server is running

Parameter inside the lookupPIAXML()

The complete URI used to integrate with Integration Broker. This is used for the LDAP interface.

Example: Domino Server

The .ini file format for Domino is as follows:

CONSOLIDATE=true URL=http://XX.XXX.X.XXX/usrmgr/userManager.asp OUTPUT=userManagerLog.xml XML=<PARAM NAME="PROCESS_EA">TRUE</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="PROCESS_XML">TRUE</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="PROCESS_DOMINO">TRUE</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="XML_TRANSLATORID">100</PARAM> <PARAM NAME="XML_LOOKUPFUNC">lookupPIAXML ('http://adas0102/PSIGW/HttpListeningConnector?From=PSFT_PIM&amp; To=PSFT_CR&amp;MessageName=PIM_CONTACT_SYNC&amp; MessageType=sync&amp;Password=infosync')</PARAM>

The variable parameters are:
