Setting Up the Item Master EIP

The Item Master EIPs include four XML-based service operations defined in PeopleSoft Integration Broker: ITEM_SYNC, ITEM_SYNC_EFF, ITEM_FULLSYNC, and ITEM_FULLSYNC_EFF. Activate the ITEM_SYNC service operation to send incremental updates automatically as item information is updated online or by using the Change Item Status process (INS4000), Item Loader process (IN_ITMLOAD), or Publish Outbound Message process. Activate the ITEM_FULLSYNC service operation to perform full data replication by scheduling a batch process using the Full Data Publish utility. This process generates an outbound transaction containing item information.

If you are sending item data to a third-party system that cannot process effective-dated rows, activate the _EFF version of either the ITEM_SYNC or ITEM_FULLSYNC service operations. When you send item updates by using the _EFF service operations, future-dated segments of the data are removed from the outbound transaction and sent when the effective date equals the current date.

Enabling the Item Master EIPs

The service operations in PeopleSoft Integration Broker are delivered with a default status of Inactive. You must activate each service operation before attempting to send or receive data from a third-party source or another PeopleSoft system, such as CRM. To set up this service operation:

  1. Setup within the PeopleSoft application.

    These service operations have no application-specific setup.

  2. Setup within PeopleSoft Integration Broker and Enterprise Components.

    Use the information in the following table and refer to the setup instruction in Setting Up Service Operations.
