Identifying Taxware Plug-in Locations

By default, the PeopleSoft system searches for the interlink plug-in in the interface drivers directory, as described in the following table:

Location

Mode

<PS_HOME>\bin\client\winx86\interfacedrivers

For two-tier testing on Windows.

<PS_HOME>\bin\server\winx86\interfacedrivers

For Windows application server and PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server.

<PS_HOME>/bin/interfacedrivers

For UNIX application server and PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server.

These directories also contain the XML script files that describe the interlink plug-in structure which were used to create the delivered business interlink objects in the PeopleSoft system. The XML script files have the same name as the Windows DLL plug-in, except that the .XML extension is used instead of the .DLL extension.

When you purchase the Taxware software, Taxware provides the interlink plug-in that you must place in these directories. The copy under the Windows directory <PS_HOME>\bin\client\winx86\InterfaceDrivers is not used in production. The PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server and the application server use the plug-in copy in <PS_HOME>\bin\server\winx86\InterfaceDrivers on Windows, or <PS_HOME>/bin/interfacedrivers on UNIX.
