Scheduling Processes from Outside the PeopleSoft System

The PROCESSREQUEST component interface provides an API to create or update a process request from outside the PeopleSoft system. It returns the process instance of the process request that is created.

Successfully developing the functionality to schedule a process or job to run from outside PeopleSoft requires expertise in:

• PeopleSoft Process Scheduler definitions.

• PeopleCode.

• Component interfaces.

This section provides an overview of the component interface details and discusses how to schedule a process using a component interface in Visual Basic.
