Scheduled Feeds

Scheduled feeds are published asynchronously and stored as messages in Integration Broker queues.

Scheduled feeds can be further classified into up-front feeds and generic feeds. When using up-front feeds, the messages published to the Integration Broker queues are feed messages. When using generic feeds, the messages published to Integration Broker queues are either PeopleSoft rowset or XML messages. They are not feed (Atom) XML messages.

When a user requests the feed, the GetFeed (PTFP_GETPREPUBFEED) synchronous service operation is invoked by the HTTP listening connector. The GetFeed service operation handler fetches the appropriate feed messages from Integration Broker queues and collates them into a single feed message. The GetFeed service operation handler collates the messages for up-front feeds into a single feed message; for generic feeds, it wraps the feed element tags to the Integration Broker messages and then collates them into a single feed message.

Note:

Unlike real-time feeds, for which you can create your own service operation to deliver the feed, scheduled feeds always use the PTFP_GETPREPUBFEED service operation to deliver feeds.
