PeopleSoft Events and Notifications Framework Overview

The PeopleSoft Events and Notifications framework provides three features that can be configured and used to monitor business processes and create messages when unusual situations or errors occur within a PeopleSoft process or table. These messages can be routed to different users (PeopleSoft or non-PeopleSoft) to prompt the user to resolve the issue. Links can take the user directly to the page for correction or resolution. The three features are:

Events

Events is a feature and framework that enables you to define, implement, and run business logic for business events.

Using the Events framework, you can define the business events that the system raises when you change certain data in application components or run certain PeopleTools Application Engine processes. You can also define the event handlers that the Events framework executes to react to these specific event instances. Raising an event is the act of creating an event instance. If an event is raised, the Events framework automatically executes the business logic for the registered event handlers of the event.

Events allow you to:

  • Isolate, automatically process, and monitor the business logic asynchronously.

  • Define your own business events and build your own event handlers for these events with minimal impact to the delivered code.

  • Troubleshoot based on detail provided in the Event Monitor.

Notifications and Alerts

The notifications feature enables you to monitor the transaction flow and alert your organization to any errors, changes, and stalled transactions.

With notifications and alerts, you can:

  • Monitor PeopleSoft processes and receive notifications when exceptions are found.

  • Scan PeopleSoft tables using PeopleSoft Query and receive notifications when exceptions are found.

  • Use the Notification Dashboard to monitor messages and link to the PeopleSoft page where you can review or correct the issue.

  • Receive notifications to your email account.

  • Receive notifications to your PeopleSoft worklist.

  • Pass messages to a third-party system using the XML format.

  • Create a custom action for a notification using an PeopleSoft application class.
