Messaging Server Processes

Although the server processes devoted to the messaging system are all part of the larger application server domain, they comprise a distinct set of processes that aren’t involved with the ordinary transactions associated with PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture connections.

Six processes of two types—dispatchers and handlers—are paired to produce the messaging servers that transmit asynchronous messages throughout the messaging system. A set of three messaging servers—a publication broker, a publication contractor, and a subscription contractor—is required by PeopleSoft Integration Broker. The following table lists the generic names for the processes:

Messaging Server	Dispatcher Name	Handler Name
Publication Broker (BRK)	PSBRKDSP	PSBRKHND
Publication Contractor (PUB)	PSPUBDSP	PSPUBHND
Subscription Contractor (SUB)	PSSUBDSP	PSSUBHND

To distinguish the messaging servers, the PeopleSoft Server Administration utility (PSADMIN) includes a separate menu for administering them—the Messaging Server Administration menu. You select this menu from the PeopleSoft Domain Administration menu.

This example illustrates the PeopleSoft Domain Administration menu. Choose command 7 (Messaging Server Administration menu) to administer messaging servers.

From this menu, you can create new messaging servers, edit the queue list for existing messaging servers, and delete messaging servers that are no longer needed.

Note:

Although you add new messaging servers using a separate menu, you configure the messaging server processes with PSADMIN as you would any other server process.
