Setting Up the Integration to the Oracle Business Network

Complete the following tasks within PeopleSoft to enable the integration between PeopleSoft eProcurement and eSettlements to OBN.

  1. Review the EDX PO Dispatch Types page. The sample data contains the EDX PO Dispatch Type of OAG72 for dispatching purchase orders to the Oracle Business Network. Review this information and make any changes necessary for your environment.

  2. Use the Linked Suppliers page to connect PeopleSoft suppliers to OBN suppliers. For each supplier, you can define the EDX PO dispatch type OAG72 (for OBN suppliers) and define OBN information to enable the connection.

  3. In the PeopleSoft Integration Broker, review and activate the service operations used to integrate PeopleSoft to OBN.

  4. Create a node to connect to the Oracle Business Network. The PeopleSoft system is delivered with the PSFT_ORACLE_SUPPLIER_NETWORK node for the Oracle Business Network.

    See PeopleTools: Integration Broker, "Adding and Configuring Nodes".

  5. Activate a routing to be used with the node. The PeopleSoft system is delivered with routings for the service operation needed to integrate with OBN. These routings contain the transformation programs needed to convert messages from OAG to PSXML and vice versa. These routings can be altered to fit your environment.

    See PeopleTools: Integration Broker, "Managing Routing Definitions".

  6. Review or change queue definitions. The PeopleSoft system is delivered with queues for the service operation needed to integrate with OBN.

    See PeopleTools: Integration Broker, "Managing Service Operation Queues".

  7. Setup node connectors. The PeopleSoft system is delivered with the fscm_epo_OSNListeningConnector connector.

PeopleSoft users can leverage OBN's Transaction Monitor to view message statuses and errors, use self-service tools to connect to OBN, and test the ability to transmit inbound and outbound documents. Users can receive notifications of incoming messages that are applicable to them. For example, PeopleSoft eSettlements administrators can receive alerts for inbound invoices only.
