Methods for Generating and Defining Routing Definitions
This section discusses methods of generating and defining routing definitions.
System-Generated Routing Definitions During Upgrade
If upgrading from a PeopleTools 8.47 or earlier release, during the upgrade process the PeopleSoft system creates routing definitions from node transaction and relationship data defined in your earlier PeopleTools 8.4x release.
System-Generated Routing Definitions During Consuming Services
When you consume a service using the Consume Web Service wizard, the system creates PeopleSoft integration metadata for the imported service, including routing definitions.
System-Generated Routing Definitions at Runtime
The PeopleSoft system can generate any-to-local and local-to-local routing definition for you. The system takes integration metadata from the service operation, including service operation name, service operation version, service operation type, local node information, and other data, and generates a routing definition.
If you make any subsequent modifications to the service operation, you can regenerate the routing definition to reflect the changes. In addition, at any point you can open the definition and manually modify it to include transformations, as well as override default integration gateway and target connector settings.
You use the Service Operations-General page to generate any-to-local and local-to-local routing definitions.
You may also manually create local-to-local routing definitions. However, you must always system-generate any-to-local routing definition.
User-Defined Routing Definitions
When you require a point-to-point routing, you must manually create it. You can also manually create local-to-local routing definitions.
However, you must always system generate any-to-local routing definitions.
To create user-defined routing definitions, use the Routings component or the Service Operations-Routings page.
