Introduction to PeopleSoft Integration Broker

PeopleSoft Integration Broker is a middleware technology that:

• Performs asynchronous and synchronous messaging among internal systems and third-party systems.

• Exposes PeopleSoft business logic as web services to PeopleSoft and third-party systems.

• Consumes and invokes web services from third-party and PeopleSoft systems.

PeopleSoft Integration Broker enables you to perform these integrations among internal systems and third-party integration partners, while managing data structure, data format and transport disparities. Because of its modular design, you can reuse many elements that you develop for integrations.

PeopleSoft Integration Broker consists of two subsystems: the integration gateway and the integration engine. The integration gateway resides on a PeopleSoft web server, and the integration engine is installed on an application server as part of the PeopleSoft application.

Important:

PeopleSoft Integration Broker interacts with a wide variety of third-party products. This documentation is not an authoritative source of information about any third-party product. Most third-party products are delivered with their own documentation, which you should use as the primary source for information about them. This product documentation provides guidance that enables you to determine the configuration settings that PeopleSoft Integration Broker requires to work with third-party products. It does not address all configuration permutations. Examples of settings and data relative to a third-party product may not be correct for your particular situation. To properly configure PeopleSoft Integration Broker, you must apply your own expertise and obtain the most accurate and current information about third-party products.
