Understanding the Integration Broker Configuration Activity Guide

This topic provides overview information about the Integration Broker Configuration activity guide.

The PeopleSoft Integration Broker Configuration activity guide is a pagelet in the Integration Network WorkCenter. The activity guide provides centralized access to the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture (PIA) pages used to configure PeopleSoft Integration Broker and the Integration Network.

The purpose of the PeopleSoft Integration Broker Configuration activity guide is to lead users through a basic set up of PeopleSoft Integration Broker and an integration network. This activity guide is intended for users who need Integration Broker configured and running to use other PeopleTools technologies, such as the Feeds framework, the PeopleSoft Search framework, the PeopleSoft Test framework, Unified Navigation, and others. It is also intended for users who are learning Integration Broker or those who need to a basic Integration Broker configuration for a sandbox environment.

Note: Additional configuration may be required based on the PeopleTools technology you are using. Please refer to the product documentation for specific technologies for information about additional configuration requirements.

Integration developers, integration administrators and super users will likely have additional configuration requirements and should use the Integration Network or the traditional PIA pages for configuring PeopleSoft Integration Broker.

The goal of this topic is to provide information that enables you to get Integration Broker up and running. The documentation in this section does not provide extensive detail on why a configuration activity is required and does not discuss advanced configuration options. For additional information about a configuration step and additional configuration options, please refer to the online Help available on each PIA page and the PeopleTools documentation library.
