Address Book Registration Page

EODI_CON_REG

Register your address book.

Address books enable you to leverage PeopleSoft data to update Outlook users' local address lists or to control the email addresses that are available within the PeopleSoft Outlook Meeting Scheduler.

Several types of address books are available that you can define. The main difference between them is where the information originates. The type of address book determines which options are available in the registration page.

  • Internal address books—These are derived from the Internal Address book page as defined within Desktop Integration.

    The address can be entered manually through the Internal Address Book page, or the underlying record can be updated by some other process.

  • Record/View address books—These pull all of their information for a record or view as defined in PeopleTools and must conform to a specific structure.

    The record or view must contain the EODI_CON_SBR subrecord.

  • Application Class address books—These pull all of their information from application classes and allow dynamic address books to be generated in PeopleCode.

Use the Address Book Registration page (EODI_CON_REG) to register your address book.

This is unique for each process. The Application Class information and data here is where you point to the code that will be called for your specific PeopleSoft Application Layer functions. This is needed only if you are modifying or adding new integrations. PeopleSoft Applications deliver these defined for their delivered integrations.

The package name, path and class ID are specific to the registration. For delivered registrations, the fields are populated with application specific data.

When creating new registrations, these classes are defined beforehand in PeopleSoft Application Designer. This applies to all registrations.

You do not need to create a user ID for each; you can simply use the email address. The user ID does not need to match the email or PeopleSoft user ID. You can also create generic user IDs.

The field to the right is automatically supplied based on the source that you specify.
(the field to the right of the Source field)

Depending on the Source that you select in the Authorized User section (User ID, Role Name, SQL User List), a corresponding list of options becomes available for selection.
