Understanding PeopleSoft Business Interlinks to Vertex Q Series
PeopleSoft delivers
two business interlink objects to interact with Vertex for both online
and batch transactions: VERTEX_CALCTAX and VERTEX_GEOCODES. The business
interlink objects communicate with Vertex Q Series through an interlink
plug-in provided by Vertex. The interlink plug-in file name is psbivrtx.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 psbivrtx.dll
to libpsbivrtx.sl
before each call to the interlink plug-in.
