Manage System URLs

Note: The system administrator is responsible for populating the correct URL fields. The system does not verify the URL and by default, the URL fields are blank.

PeopleSoft delivers the following system URL types for you to create and associate URLs to your PeopleSoft system.

  • Process Scheduler Management (targetType is PS Website)

    You can enter the URL for any of the submenus used in PeopleTools Process Scheduler. For example, Process Monitor and Application Engine. Once you have defined this system URL, you can access it by selecting Administration for the PS Process Scheduler Domain target, then click Manage Process Scheduler in PIA.

  • Web Profile Search (targetType is PS Website)

    This URL is associated with a PS Web Site target. Enter the URL from a PeopleSoft application to open its web profile page. The naming convention for this URL is <WebSite_Name>+_Web Profile Search.

  • PIA Signon (targetType is PS Website)

    You may have multiple values for PIA—however, the PS Web Site is the primary key. The PS Web Site drop-down list in the Create URL page shows only the PS Web Sites that have been defined in the PeopleSoft system. If there are no PS Web Sites present in the PeopleSoft system you cannot create a PIA Signon URL entry. The naming convention for this URL is <WebSite_Name>+_PIA Signon.

  • Integration Broker Monitor Message (targetType is PS Website)

    This URL is associated with a PS Web Site target. Enter the URL from a PeopleSoft application to open its Integration Broker profile page. The naming convention for this URL is <WebSite_Name>+_Integration Broker Monitor Message.

  • Web Server Administration (targetType is PIA)

    This refers to WebSphere, Weblogic administration site. Enter the URL here to access the web server administration site from Enterprise Manager. You may have multiple values here, while the PS PIA target is the primary key. The naming convention for this URL is <PIA_Name>+_Web Server Administration.

These URLS can also be accessed via the Related Links option on the General Pane in their respective target owners’ page. If no URL has been specified for the URL Type, you will be navigated to the Manage URLs Page where you can do it.
