Understanding Using External Search Match
As is the case for Internal Search/Match, there are two options to perform searches in an external system:
Online search: Manually navigate to the Search/Match Integrated component and enter search options.
Note: When your institution configures External Search/Match functionality and integrates with an external system, Oracle recommends that you revoke your users' security access to the Search/Match component and replace it with the Search/Match Integrated component so that users will use the same tool for searching existing IDs.
Automatic search: From a Campus Solutions component where an ID can be created, the External Search/Match triggers behind the scenes after user clicks Save.
Note: If you are implementing separate instances of your PeopleSoft Campus Solutions and PeopleSoft HCM systems, you should read the additional documentation describing how to configure and use External Search/Match directly between the two systems. The CS-HCM Integration Information Knowledge Document details the additional documents that describe the setup, functional, and technical implementation considerations.
