Understanding the Inbound File Loader Utility

When external systems send inbound transactions consisting of flat files, you can use the Inbound File Loader utility to translate the incoming files into service operations and process them.

The Inbound File Loader utility provides two options for translating and processing files:

• Use PeopleSoft Integration Broker to convert file data into service operations and publish them locally. Then, subscribe to the service operations and insert the data into the tables.

• Write an application class that will read the contents of files and insert the data directly into the tables

Note:

You can only use one processing method at any given time. Application class processing always overrides PeopleSoft Integration Broker processing.
