Processing PeopleSoft Business Interlinks Transactions
Sometimes PeopleSoft CRM needs to call an external system vendor's application to request information. This information must be provided in a realtime, synchronous mode. The PeopleSoft application waits for the answer from the other application in realtime, before the PeopleSoft application can continue processing.
These transactions use PeopleSoft Business Interlinks definitions to specify the data passed to this external system as well as to define the output to be received from the external system. The data that is passed from the interlink object is interpreted by an interlink plug-in, which then contacts the external system, passes the data in the correct form, retrieves the data, and then passes it, in the correct form, back to the interlink object.
Note: Business Interlink are just one of the ways you can process realtime transactions. There are many different ways you can capture this kind of information. Please refer to the ISR on My Oracle Support for more information.
