Operation Types

PeopleSoft Integration Broker supports the operation types listed in the table.

For any operation type, the application must invoke PeopleCode, a component interface or data mover script to generate and send a service operation or to receive and process a service operation.

Operation Type	Routing	Actions
Asynchronous — One Way.	Outbound.	The application generates and sends a request. One or more target system receives and processes the request.
Asynchronous — Request/Response.	Outbound.	The application generates and sends a request. The target system receives and processes the request. Sometime later the target system sends a response which contains the transaction ID from the original request. This ID serves as the correlation ID. The application processes the response using the correlation ID to map it back to the original request. The message sent back is a response in the form of a request.
Asynchronous to Synchronous.	Outbound.	The application generates and sends a request. A single target system receives and processes the request, then generates and sends a response. The application receives and processes the response.
Synchronous.	Outbound.	The application generates and sends a request. The application suspends activity and waits for a response. A single target system receives and processes the request, then generates and sends a response. The application resumes its activity and receives and processes the response.
Asynchronous — One way.	Inbound.	A source system generates and sends a request. The application receives and processes the request.
Asynchronous — Request/Response.	Inbound.	A source system generates and sends a request. The application receives and processes the request. Sometime later the application sends a response back to the source system. The response includes a unique identifier from the original request, which serves as a correlation ID. The source system processes the response using the correlation ID to map it back to the original request.
