Understanding Converting WSDL Documents and Message Schema to Managed Objects

This section discusses converting WSDL documents and XML message schema to managed objects. It also discusses the deprecated data repository.

WSDL Documents and Message Schema as Managed Objects

Beginning in PeopleTools 8.50, WSDL documents and XML message schema became managed objects.

After you copy WSDL and schema from earlier releases, PeopleSoft Integration Broker enables you to convert the data to managed objects. To copy WSDL and XML message schema from earlier versions of PeopleTools, use the data mover scripts described previously in this topic.

See Using Data Mover Scripts to Copy Message Schema and WSDL Data.

In addition, during the PeopleTools upgrade process the system automatically attempts to convert WSDL and schema metadata into managed objects. However, if the system is unable to convert the copied or upgraded data, you can convert it in the PeopleTools 8.55 system.

Deprecated Data Repository

WSDL documents and XML message schema data that you copy from earlier PeopleTools releases to a PeopleTools 8.55 database is stored in a deprecated data repository in the database. WSDL and schema that do not properly convert to managed objects during the upgrade process are also stored in this repository.

After you convert WSDL and schema to managed objects, the system moves the data to the metadata repository.

You can leave data that you do not convert in the deprecated data repository, or you can delete if from the system.
