Defining SharePoint Distribution Nodes

You can configure a Process Scheduler report node to distribute report output to a Microsoft SharePoint document library.

Access to a SharePoint site and document library requires an application registration in Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory, which PeopleSoft uses to authenticate with Microsoft Graph. See Registering an Azure Application for SharePoint Repositories and Defining SharePoint Repositories.

To use SharePoint as a report repository:

1. Create a report node using the HTTPS protocol.
2. Specify the Microsoft Graph endpoint information and authentication properties required to access the SharePoint site.
3. Configure a Process Scheduler server to use the SharePoint report node as its distribution node.

Defining a SharePoint Report Node

Navigation:

PeopleTools >Process Scheduler >Report Nodes.

Field or Control	Description
Protocol	Transfer protocol for SharePoint report nodes. Select HTTPS.
URLID	Enter the Process Scheduler report URL. This URL is used to construct report access URLs returned to PeopleSoft users.
Description	Enter an optional description for the report node.
Operating System	Select the operating system on which the report repository is accessed.
URI Host	Enter the Microsoft Graph host name. For example, graph.microsoft.com.
URI Port	Enter the port number used by URI host.
URI Resource	Enter the Microsoft Graph resource path for the SharePoint site.
CLIENTID	Enter the Microsoft Azure AD application client identifier.
CLIENTSECRET	Enter the client secret associated with the registered application.
DOCUMENTLIBRARY	Name of the SharePoint document library that stores report output.
PROXY	Proxy server name, if your environment requires a proxy for outbound HTTPS connections.
PROXYPORT	Proxy server port.
SHAREPOINTREPOSITORY	Set to Y to identify the repository as a SharePoint repository.
VERIFYHOST	Specifies whether host name verification is performed during SSL certificate validation.
VERIFYPEER	Specifies whether the server SSL certificate is validated.
TENANTID	Enter the Microsoft 365 tenant identifier.
CERTALIAS	Certificate alias used for client certificate authentication, if required.
KEYSTOREPASSWORD	Password for the keystore associated with the certificate alias, if applicable.

After entering the required values, click Validate to verify the report node configuration. If validation succeeds, you can assign the report node to one or more Process Scheduler servers and use it as the report distribution repository.

Associating a Process Scheduler Server with a SharePoint Distribution Node

Navigation:

PeopleTools >Process Scheduler >Servers.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Process Scheduler Servers page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Field or Control	Description
Distribution Node Name	Select the SharePoint report node that receives reports generated by this Process Scheduler server.
Maximum Transfer Retries	Specify the maximum number of retry attempts if report distribution fails.
Interval for Transfer Attempt	Specify the number of seconds between retry attempts.
Transfer System Files to Report Repository	Select to distribute log and trace files along with report output.
