Understanding Send Master Project Types

This table describes Send Master project types.

Term Definition

Input File

The Input File project type enables you to test servers that are expecting XML data over HTTP(S).

Integration Broker (MIME)

The Integration Broker (MIME) project type enables you to test servers that are expecting MIME data over HTTP or HTTPS. Use this project type to test service operation and connector processing using the PeopleSoft listening connector and for integrations with systems that expect MIME data.

This project type is referred to as the Integration Broker (MIME) project type throughout the Send Master product documentation.

Integration Broker (XML)

The Integration Broker (XML) project type enables you to test servers that expect XML data in PeopleSoft format over HTTP or HTTPS. Use this project type to test service operation and connector processing using the HTTP listening connector and for integrations with systems that expect IBRequest XML— formatted data.

This project type is referred to as the Integration Broker (XML) project type throughout the Send Master product documentation..

EIP Testing (Batch EIP)

The EIP Testing (Batch EIP) project type enables you to test batches of service operations from a file directory that you specify for automation testing, and enables you to test different transaction values.

This project type is referred to as the EIP Testing project type throughout this the Send Master product documentation.

JMS Project

The JMS Project project type enables you to test and post synchronous and asynchronous service operations to JMS queues or topics.

This project type is referred to as the JMS project type throughout the Send Master product documentation.

The following table describes the type of project to use based on the type of communication that you want to test.

Project Type Usage

Input File

Use this project type to:

  • Use the Get method to ensure that URLs are valid.

  • Send non-PeopleSoft-formatted XML or MIME messages to web servers.

  • Test SOAP messages with the HTTP listening connector or PeopleSoft Service listening connector.

  • Test inbound and outbound transformations by posting non-XML data into PeopleSoft software.

  • Test integration points with PeopleSoft 8.1x systems as well as those systems that do not adhere to the PeopleSoft message format.

  • Test REST services.

Integration Broker (MIME)

Use this project type to:

  • Test PeopleSoft Integration Broker.

    After you create service operations, you can quickly add a few required fields and test the integration point. Instead of setting up another PeopleSoft system, you can interact with Send Master to shorten development time.

  • Test handlers.

    For example, you can test OnRequest, OnSend and so forth.

  • Test target connectors on the integration gateway, including specifying connector overrides.

    For example, you can test an integration that needs to perform normal Integration Broker processing, but also output the file to disk. You can override the target connector and test the file creation process.

  • Test attachments.

Integration Broker (XML)

Use this project type to:

  • Mimic an external system to test service operation processing using the HTTP listening connector.

  • Export data into the PeopleSoft XML IBRequest format to provide samples of data that PeopleSoft Integration Broker expects in request service operations.

EIP Testing

You can use this project type to send a directory of MIME-formatted messages into PeopleSoft Integration Broker. This project type enables you to override requesting and destination nodes without having to alter every service operation.

JMS

Use this project type to POST service operations to a JMS queue. This project type does not use the HTTP protocol, so no URL is provided.
