Synchronous messaging |
In synchronous messaging, a message is sent to a target system. The sending system must receive a response from the target system before it continues to process additional messages. |
Asynchronous messaging |
In asynchronous messaging, a message is sent to a target system. However, the sending system does not need to receive a response from the target system before it can continue processing messages. This type of messaging is also referred to as fire-and-forget messaging. |
The remainder of this topic discusses the PeopleSoft Integration Broker architecture for these messaging types.
Note: For compatibility with previous PeopleTools releases, the PeopleSoft Integration Broker services-oriented architecture introduced in PeopleTools 8.48 overlays the messaging architecture from earlier PeopleTools 8.4x releases.
