Target Locations

When configuring the PeopleSoft system for services, you set target locations for web services and for REST services, using the Target Locations page.

For web services, target locations are URLs that PeopleSoft Integration Broker uses to build and validate XML message schemas, export WSDL documents, and as the SOAP endpoint. For REST services, target locations are URLs that PeopleSoft Integration Broker uses to export WADL documents and as the REST endpoint.

PeopleSoft Integration Broker enables you to define an unsecured target location and a secured target location URL for each type of service, and provides separate fields for doing so.

In general, the URL you specify as a target location should be an unsecured URL.

Note:

XML schema validation will fail if you enter a secured URL in the Target Location field.

If you need to use a secure URL for a SOAP or REST endpoint, you may do. Any secure URL you enter overrides any unsecured URL entered.

In addition, you can override the (unsecured) target location URL for exporting WSDL and WADL documents on a case–by–case basis. The Provide Web Service wizard features a Use Secure Target Location box in Step 2 – Select Service Operations of the Wizard. If you select the box, the system exports the WSDL or WADL document to the URL specified in the secure target location defined on the Target Locations page. The override is in effect only for that particular export of WSDL or WADL. If you need to generate WSDL or WADL again for the service, the system defaults back to using the (unsecured) target location URL, unless you again check the Use Secure Target Location box in the wizard to override the URL to use the secure target location.

To use services with PeopleSoft Integration Broker, you must specify web service and REST service target locations. Specifying a secure target location for either of these is optional..
