Prerequisites

The Feed Publishing Framework relies on other PeopleTools components, such as Integration Broker, for you to be able to publish and consume feeds.

You must configure your PeopleSoft system as follows:

Step	Reference
Configure and activate the Integration Broker gateway and target nodes.	See Configuring the Integration Broker Gateway and Target Nodes.
Configure the Integration Broker service target locations.	See Configuring Integration Broker Service Target Locations. Note: If you plan to use secure authentication, then you must also configure Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on your system. See System and Server Administration: Implementing WebLogic SSL Keys and Certificates.
The default user of the ANONYMOUS node must be a valid user.	See Configuring the Default User of the ANONYMOUS Node.
Set authentication for the default local node to password or certificate. In addition, define the content URI text and portal URI text of the default local node.	See Configuring the Default Local Node.
Define the content URI text and portal URI text of each local host node.	See Setting URI Text for Local Host Nodes.
For Oracle WebLogic Server, you must configure the server to disable its own authentication.	Note: By default, the delivered config.xml file is set to disable Oracle WebLogic Server's own authentication. No additional configuration is required unless you have changed this authentication setting. Disabling Oracle WebLogic Server's authentication allows authentication to be passed through and handled by the PeopleSoft servlet. See Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server to Disable Authentication.
Assign users the roles and permission necessary to use feeds.	Feed administrators require the PTPT1300 - Portal Administrator permission list, which is included in the Portal Administrator role. Users who need to search for and view feeds require the PTPT1000 - PeopleSoft User permission list, which is included in the PeopleSoft User role. See Security Administration: Setting Page Permissions. See Security Administration: Assigning Permissions to Roles. See Security Administration: Setting Roles.
Using psadmin, activate the Pub/Sub servers on the application server.	This step is required only when scheduled feed messages are published to Integration Broker queues. See System and Server Administration: Accessing the Application Server Options.
Configure Process Scheduler.	This step is required only when scheduled feed messages are published to Integration Broker queues through an Application Engine program. See System and Server Administration: Using the Process Scheduler Menu.
