Scheduling a Process Using a Component Interface in Visual Basic

The following example shows how you might schedule a process from outside of PeopleSoft using Visual Basic.

Initializing the component interface:

Dim oSession As New PeopleSoft_PeopleSoft.Session
Dim oBC As ProcessRequest
oSession.Connect(1, "TCHURY072198:7000", "PTDMO", "PTDMO", 0)
'get component from server
Set oBC = oSession.GetComponent("PROCESSREQUEST")
Status = oBC.Get()

Creating a process request:

• Properties:

  oBC.REQUESTTYPE = "Create"
  oBC.RUNCONTROLID = "Test"
  oBC.PROCESSTYPE = "SQR Report"
  oBC.PROCESSNAME = "XRFWIN"
  oBC.RUNLOCATION = "PSNT"
  oBC.RUNDATE = "01/01/2000"
  oBC.RUNTIME = "09:00:00"
  oBC.OUTDESTTYPE = "FILE"
  oBC.OUTDESTFORMAT = "SPF"
  oBC.OUTDEST = "C:\temp\"

• Method:

  ProcessInstance = oBC.Create

Updating a process request:

• Properties:

  oBC.REQUESTTYPE = "Update"
  oBC.PROCESSINSTANCE = 10
  oBC.RUNSTATUS = "2"

• Method:

  oBC.Update
