Handling Cookies

PeopleSoft Integration Broker provides basic cookie handling for exchanges that are initiated by your PeopleSoft application. You can accept a synchronous response message containing cookies, save those cookies in a global variable, and later return them to the remote node in an outbound synchronous or asynchronous request message. This is a typical application of cookies in a web interaction.

Cookies are implemented as an IBInfo class property, Cookies. You can access this property only in an inbound synchronous response message or an outbound request message.

Receiving Cookies Example

The following example retains the cookies from a response message to a global variable:

Local Message &SalesRequest, &SalesResponse;
Local Rowset &SALES_ORDER;
Global string &SalesCookies;
&SALES_ORDER = GetLevel0();
&SalesRequest = CreateMessage(OPERATION.SALES_ORDER_SYNC);
&SalesRequest.CopyRowsetDelta(&SALES_ORDER);
/* Send the synchronous request; the return value is the response 
message object */
&SalesResponse = %IntBroker.SyncRequest(&SalesRequest);
/* Retrieve cookies from the response message */
&SalesCookies = &SalesResponse.IBInfo.IBConnectorInfo.Cookies;

Returning Cookies Example

The following example retrieves the previously retained cookies from the global variable and inserts them into a new request message:

Local Message &SalesRequest, &SalesResponse;
Local Rowset &SALES_ORDER;
Global string &SalesCookies;
&SALES_ORDER = GetLevel0();
&SalesRequest = CreateMessage(OPERATION.SALES_ORDER_SYNC);
&SalesRequest.CopyRowsetDelta(&SALES_ORDER);
/* Insert the cookies in the request message */
&SalesRequest.IBInfo.IBConnectorInfo.Cookies = &SalesCookies;
/* Send the asynchronous request */
%IntBroker.Publish(&SalesRequest);
