Data Distribution Framework Overview

PeopleTools Data Distribution Framework provides a mechanism to extract and flatten PeopleSoft data. This data can be used for the purpose of machine learning. The data is hosted on Elasticsearch. The machine learning server pulls the data from Elasticsearch for training the machine learning model.

PeopleTools Data Distribution Framework is built using the technology from PeopleSoft Search Framework, such as mappings used to create Elasticsearch index definitions, search instance for defining Elasticsearch server, and DirectTransfer technology used to index data from PeopleSoft to Elasticsearch. The data is made available in Elasticsearch in JSON format.

The Elasticsearch indices built for search can be re-used for machine learning or other activities. The data available from this framework can be used by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Data Science service to create models that are used for prediction. The OCI Data Science platform is an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service. You can use an on-premise PeopleSoft instance or a PeopleSoft instance on OCI.

For more information on OCI Data Science service, see the Data Science documentation on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation website.
