Helpful Hints about Integration Broker in PeopleTools 8.48 and Higher
In PeopleTools 8.48, the Integration Broker architecture was changed. This section provides the answers to some frequently asked questions about the changes.
Message Properties
Problem: Starting with PeopleTools 8.48, I cannot view or change properties on my messages in application designer. How do I change or activate messages and any associated PeopleCode?
Solution: The status of integrations was moved from the message to the service operation, so you now have to activate the service operation instead of the message. PeopleCode events were also moved to the service operation and renamed to handlers.
Chunking
Problem: In prior versions I had to attach OnRoute PeopleCode to my message when enabling chunking. Do I use the same PeopleCode as a service operation handler?
Solution: The chunking PeopleCode from prior releases will no longer function starting with PeopleTools 8.48. Service operations intended to support chunking are now delivered with an inactive OnRoute handler. This allows a user to activate the chunking PeopleCode rather than having to create PeopleCode in the application designer.
Channels
Problem: Starting with PeopleTools 8.48, I cannot find Message Channels. What happened to them?
Solution: In PeopleTools 8.48, Message Channels were renamed to Queues.
Transactions
Problem: Starting with PeopleTools 8.48, I cannot find my transactions. Does this mean I no longer have to create or activate them?
Solution: In PeopleTools 8.48, Transactions were renamed to Service Operation Routings. Routings must still be activated to enable an integration.
Relationship Transactions
Problem: Starting with PeopleTools 8.48, I cannot find my Relationships or relationship transactions. How do I enable transforms?
Solution: In PeopleTools 8.48, transforms were moved to the routing definition, and non-default service operation versions. They are now enabled when the routing is activated. Relationships and relationship transactions have been deprecated.
