Hash Key Generator Command Line Tool

When you use the Message Export tool, PeopleSoft Integration Broker generates unique request and response pairs, and creates a unique hash key ID for the generated pair. The hash key is used by the integration gateway during playback to ensure that proper correlation occurs between the request and response files.

If you bypass the export process and manually add files for testing, or if you carry out testing when the target or source systems are not available to properly record information, you must generate a hash key. The Hash Key Generator is a command line tool that enables you to generate a hash key.

The Message Export command line tool is located in the PeopleSoft web server domain: HashKeyGenerator.bat.
