Sending Messages to Third-Party Systems

This section discusses how to configure:

• The PeopleSoft Human Resources system.

• The PeopleSoft Human Resources integration gateway.

The setup for this scenario is similar to the configuration for integrations with Integration Broker systems. The only difference is the target connector you use.

However, instead of using the PeopleSoft target connector for the remote node you must select the target connector based on the third-party system with which the PeopleSoft system is communicating. The target connector you select must reside on the remote gateway.

In the previous diagram, the PeopleSoft Human Resources system is the source system and the selected target connector is shown on the other side of the firewall, on the remote integration gateway.

As you review the configuration tasks for this scenario, keep in mind the following points:

• PeopleSoft recommends using a single gateway for all applications that reside on one side of a firewall.

• The local gateway for one PeopleSoft application can be the remote gateway for the other PeopleSoft application.

Configuring the PeopleSoft Human Resources System

On the PeopleSoft Human Resources system:

1. Define a local integration gateway.

   Use the Gateways component to define the local PeopleSoft Human Resources (USA) gateway.

2. Define a remote integration gateway on the local system.

   Use the Gateways component to define the gateway for the PeopleSoft Human Resources (USA) system (which is the PeopleSoft CRM [UK] gateway) and to specify the URL of the PeopleSoft CRM (UK) gateway.

3. Set up a local node.

   Use the Nodes component to set up the local node, which represents the PeopleSoft Human Resources (USA) system.

4. Set up a remote node.

   Use the Nodes component to set up the remote node, which represents the third-party system. Whenyou define the remote node, use the Node Definitions-Connectors page to specify the gateway ID onthe remote integration gateway. In addition, select the appropriate target connector, for example JMStarget connector, SMTP target connector, POP 3 target connector, and so forth.

5. Create a service operation that includes an outbound routing definition where the sending node is the PeopleSoft HR system and the receiving node is the third-party system.

Configuring the PeopleSoft Human Resources Integration Gateway

The only required integration gateway properties are the Oracle Jolt connect string properties that enable communication with integration engines on PeopleSoft Integration Broker systems. Set these properties in the integrationGateway.properties file.
