Understanding This Scenario

For communications with third-party systems, messages can go through local or remote gateways.

Sending a message to a third-party system is the same as sending a message to a PeopleSoft Integration Broker node, except that the target connector that you select depends on the third-party system with which you are communicating.

Messages from third-party systems can enter the gateway through any of the listening connectors that are delivered with PeopleSoft Integration Broker or through a listening connector that you build. You cannot use the PeopleSoft listening connector for integrations with third-party systems, because it can accept messages only in the PeopleSoft internal format.

This diagram shows the connectors that a PeopleSoft system can use to communicate with a third-party system and how the PeopleSoft system can communicate with third-party systems.
