Understanding PeopleSoft Business Interlinks to Taxware Sales and Use Tax

PeopleSoft delivers two business interlink objects to interact with Taxware for both online and batch transactions: TAXWARE_CALCTAX and TAXWARE_GEOCODES. The business interlink objects communicate with Taxware Sales and Use Tax Series through an interlink plug-in provided by Taxware. The interlink plug-in file name is pstwlink.dll and it must be installed in the interface drivers directory.

Note: PeopleSoft Business Interlink is a deprecated product. These options currently exist for upgrade compatibility and transition.

UNIX Environments

In UNIX environments, the business interlink algorithmically converts the file name format from that of a Windows DLL to that of a UNIX shared library or shared object. The business interlink adds the prefix lib to the name, and replaces the extension, DLL, with the appropriate extension for the current UNIX platform.

For example, the business interlink changes the file name pstwlink.dll to libpstwlink.sl before each call to the interlink plug-in.
