Variable Compensation Integration

Stock Administration uses two integration points to grant and award variable compensation grants. The system uses the following service operations to transfer award and grant data between Stock Administration and the Variable Compensation business process.

Integration Point Name	Message Name	Message Definition
Award Data	AWARD_GRANT_ISSUE	VC publishes award data to Stock Administration and Stock Administration subscribes to the award data.
Grant Data	GRANT_AWARD_UPDATE	Stock Administration publishes grant data to VC and VC subscribes to the grant data.

In PeopleTools Application Designer you must activate the AWARD_GRANT_ISSUE and GRANT_AWARD_UPDATE messages. Make sure that you set the status of each selected message to Active, and set the status of the corresponding queue to Run.

Third-Party Stock Administration Subscription to Integration Point Messages

Through the use of web server extension mechanisms such as Java servlets, a third-party application can accept and process an XML post from a PeopleSoft message. Third-party applications can publish data to the PeopleSoft database by means of an XML data post directly to PeopleSoft's Integration Broker Gateway.
