To use the Feed Publishing Framework, you must first configure your PeopleSoft system to support feed publication and consumption.
This chapter discusses how to:
Configure the Integration Broker gateway and target nodes.
Configure Integration Broker service target locations.
Configure the default user of the ANONYMOUS node.
Configure the default local node.
Set uniform resource identifier (URI) text for local host nodes.

Understanding Integration Setup
To configure the Integration Broker gateway and target nodes:
Select PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Configuration, Quick Configuration.
The Integration Broker Quick Configuration page appears.
See Using the Integration Broker Quick Configuration Page.
Enter the machine name and complete URL to the PeopleSoftListeningConnector in the Gateway URL field:
Click the Ping Gateway button.
The status should return as active.
In the Integration Broker Domains group box, set the status for this machine to Active.
Also in the Integration Broker Domains group box, set the status for any pub/sub domains to Active to support scheduled feeds.
Note. The pub/sub domain must be enabled first in the application server configuration through psadmin.
Click the Save button to save your changes.
Click the Advanced Gateway Setup link.
The Gateways page appears.
Click the Gateway Setup Properties link and then log in.
The PeopleSoft Node Configuration page appears.
See Setting Oracle Jolt Connection Properties.
Enter values for your environment. Enter a default target node in the Gateway Default App Server group box and the local target node in the PeopleSoft Nodes group box.
For a shared gateway, also enter remote target nodes (the default local node on the remote system) in the PeopleSoft Nodes group box.
The following example shows a shared gateway configuration:
Click the Save button.
Click the Ping Node button for each node.
The status should return as success.
Note. If you receive an Integration Broker authentication error, the default local node requires that the authentication option be set to password or certificate. See the troubleshooting appendix for more information.
See Troubleshooting Tips.
On the Ping Node Results page, click the Return button.
On the PeopleSoft Node Configuration page, click the Advanced Properties Page link.
The Gateway Properties page appears.
See Using the integrationGateway.properties File.
Enter the full path to the keystore file and the encrypted keystore password:
See Configuring Security and General Properties, Encrypting Passwords.
Click the OK button.
On the PeopleSoft Node Configuration page, click the Save button again.
To configure service target locations:
Select PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Configuration, Service Configuration.
Enter a value for the target location or locations pointing to the appropriate Integration Broker gateway connector:
If you plan to use basic authentication only and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) has not been configured on your system, then enter a value in the Target Location field only.
If you plan to use secure authentication and SSL has been configured on your system, then enter a value in the Target Location field and in the Secure Target Location field.
Important! You should use the secure authentication approach.
If you specify both target locations, then the secure target location
is always used for access to feeds.
More information about setting up SSL is available in PeopleBooks.
See Implementing WebLogic SSL Keys and Certificates, Setting Up SSL For WebSphere.
Click the Save button to save the configuration.
To configure the default user of the ANONYMOUS node:
Select PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Integration Setup, Nodes.
Select the ANONYMOUS node.
Select the Node Definitions page.
Verify that the Default User ID field contains a valid user with limited privileges—for example, the GUEST user:
To configure the default local node:
Select PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Integration Setup, Nodes.
Select the default local node.
Select the Node Definitions page.
Verify that the node type is PIA and that the Authentication Option field value is Password or Certificate.
Verify that the node password and default user ID are set:
See Implementing Node Authentication, Defining Node Parameters.
Select the Connectors page and then:
Click the Ping Node button.
It should show success.
Click the Return button.
Select the Portal page:
Enter values for the Content URI Text field and the Portal URI Text field:
See Setting Portal Nodes.
Save the configuration of the default local node.
Important! If you set or changed the authentication option on the Node Definitions page, log out and log back in again. Otherwise, you might get an authentication token error when you attempt to access a feed.
For each local host node, you must set the URI text for the node definition.
Repeat the following procedure for each local host node:
Select PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Integration Setup, Nodes.
Select a local host node.
Select the Portal page:
Enter values for the Content URI Text field and the Portal URI Text field:
See Setting Portal Nodes.
Save the configuration of the local host node.
