Online Combination Editing for Applications Outside the Financials Database Using a Web Service
Using a PeopleSoft synchronous web service, COMBO_CF_EDIT_REQUEST, systems and products that run outside of the financials core database can validate ChartField combinations. The service exposes ChartField combination editing as a black box service to the other systems. This is provided to third party and PeopleSoft products running outside of the financials database, such as PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management (PeopleSoft ELM).
The following is the processing logic using PeopleSoft Enterprise Learning Management (ELM) as an example:
-
ELM initiates ChartField Combination Editing from its transactions by sending a synchronous request COMBO_CF_EDIT_REQUEST service to the financials database for General Ledger and waits for the reply.
-
General Ledger listens to the service and calls the Combo Edit application class to validate the transactions that it receives.
-
General Ledger returns the results in a synchronous reply to the ELM process that is waiting for the reply.
-
ELM then proceeds with its transaction according to the Combination Editing result.
Note:
While you can use the Web service with third-party products, PeopleSoft does not officially support third-party products.
