Services

When a PeopleSoft application sends a request to the application server, it sends a service name and a set of parameters, such as MgrGetObject and its parameters. Tuxedo then queues the transaction request to a specific server process that is designed to handle certain services.

When a server process boots, it advertises to the system the predefined services it handles.

Note:

When discussing PeopleSoft architecture mechanics and system features, the term service is used in various contexts. The following statement may help to clarify this term within the context of an application server domain: An application server domain calls server processes, such as PSAPPSRV, which in turn invoke services, such as MgrGetObject, which run against the database. The services called by domain server processes are not to be confused with the services and service operations associated with the service oriented architecture (SOA) provided by Integration Broker.
