Understanding Portal Nodes

You can create and maintain a node definition in the Node Definitions component (IB_NODE). A node is defined once but can be used for multiple purposes. Several pages in the Node Definitions component are used only for integration purposes by PeopleSoft Integration Broker. For portal purposes, define a portal node by using the Node Definitions and Portal pages.

Nodes must be blank for external content references.

Note:

You cannot delete a node that is in use by a content reference when the Save button is clicked. If the node is in use, the node name is not deleted.
