Integrating with PeopleTools 8.1x Systems

This section provides an overview of this scenario and discusses how to configure the system for this scenario.

This diagram shows the PeopleSoft Integration Broker components and configuration for communications between PeopleSoft Integration Broker systems and PeopleSoft systems running on PeopleTools 8.1x:

This example illustrates the PeopleSoft Integration Broker components and configuration for communications between PeopleSoft Integration Broker systems on PeopleTools 8.48 and later systems and PeopleSoft systems running PeopleTools 8.1x.

Integrations with PeopleSoft 8.1x systems

In this scenario, you must configure the PeopleSoft Integration Broker system, the integration gateway, and the PeopleTools 8.1x system. The remainder of this section highlights these tasks by using the systems and components shown in the diagram as examples.

This section discusses how to configure:

  • The PeopleSoft Human Resources system.

  • The PeopleSoft Human Resources integration gateway.

  • The PeopleTools 8.1x Human Resources system.

Configuring the PeopleSoft Human Resources System

On the PeopleSoft Human Resources system:

  • Define a local integration gateway.

    Use the Gateways component to set up a local gateway for the PeopleSoft Human Resources system.

  • Set up a local node.

    Use the Node Definition component to set up the local node, which represents the PeopleSoft Human Resources system.

  • Set up a remote node.

    The remote node that you set up represents the PeopleSoft 8.1x Human Resources system. When you set up the remote node, specify the PeopleSoft 8.1 target connector (PSFT81TARGET) on the Connectors tab.

    Note: If you have upgraded from a PeopleSoft 8.1x system, all nodes that existed for the system have been preserved as remote nodes in the PeopleSoft Integration Broker system. However, you must then associate each of these nodes to the PeopleSoft 8.1 target connector.

  • Create a service operation with an inbound routing definition.

    Use the Service Operations component to create a service operation that contains an inbound routing definition where the receiving node is the PeopleSoft 8.55 system and the sending node is the PeopleSoft 8.1x system.

  • Set up an outbound routing definition.

    In the service operation definition that you created in the previous step, create and outbound routing definition where the sending node is the PeopleSoft 8.55 system and the receiving node is the 8.1x system.

Configuring the PeopleSoft Human Resources Integration Gateway

You must set integration gateway properties for the local gateway. The only required properties are the Oracle Jolt connect string properties that enable communication with the PeopleSoft Human Resources systems. Set these properties in the integrationGateway.properties file.

Configuring the PeopleSoft 8.1x Human Resources System

On the PeopleSoft 8.1x Human Resources system, locate the PeopleSoft 8.1x Human Resources message node and change the URL (location) to the PeopleSoft listening connector. The format is http://webserver/PSIGW.war/PS81ListeningConnector.
