PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture Fundamentals

Your PeopleSoft application runs on PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture, which requires a variety of software and hardware elements:

• A relational database management system (RDBMS) server.

• An application server.

• A batch server.

• A web server.

• A web browser.

You need to understand the role of each element before you can decide which configuration will work best for your implementation of PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture.

The following diagram illustrates, at a high level, the physical relationship between the following PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture elements: the browser interacts with the web server; the web server interacts with the application server; and the application server interacts with the database server. In addition, the batch server also interacts with the database server.

Configuring PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture is not just about enabling internet application deployment through a browser. PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture enables you to take advantage of all PeopleSoft intranet and internet solutions, as well as PeopleSoft integration technologies such as PeopleSoft Integration Broker.
