Using the PeopleSoft 8.1 Target Connector

This connector enables the gateway to communicate with PeopleSoft 8.1x applications that use PeopleSoft Application Messaging technology. It converts outbound messages to the Application Messaging native format. Messages from the PeopleSoft Integration Broker system reach the PeopleSoft 8.1x system through the Application Messaging gateway on the PeopleSoft 8.1x system.

The PeopleSoft 8.1 target connector uses the HTTP target connector to manage the HTTP communication with the PeopleSoft 8.1x Application Messaging gateway. The PeopleSoft 8.1 target connector focuses on messaging semantics, instead of communication details; it constructs an Application Messaging XML document and sends it using the HTTP target connector. The PeopleSoft 8.1 target connector detects the status of returned responses by the value in the ReturnCode field in the XML response.

The connector ID for the PeopleSoft 8.1 target connector is PSFT81TARGET.

Gateway-Level Connector Properties

The PeopleSoft 8.1 target connector has one gateway-level property, in the section of the integrationGateway.properties file labeled DELIVERED CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION Section. This property specifies where the connector can send messages if a target URL isn't specified in the connector's node-level properties. Specify the URL as follows:

ig.connector.amtargetconnector.url=peoplesoft_8.1x_application_messaging_gateway

You can override this value by specifying a different URL in the node-level connector properties, in the node definition for the PeopleSoft 8.1x target node, or in the transaction definition for the message.

Node-Level Connector Properties

The following table describes the node-level connector properties:

Property ID	Property Name	Description
PSFT81TARGET	URL	Specify the PeopleSoft 8.1x Application Messaging gateway URL to which messages are sent using this connector.
HEADER	TimeOut	Specify the time in milliseconds for the connector to wait for the message to transmit. If the timeout period expires without a successful transmission, the transaction fails. The default value is 50000 (50 seconds).
