Database Monitoring with PeopleSoft Application Engine

Usually, a user entering data on a page triggers a business process. For example, in a purchase order approval process, the system generates an approval request when a user enters a new purchase order. This immediate response is part of the productivity gain that PeopleSoft Workflow provides.

However, you might want to trigger routings based on an event that doesn’t involve a user; for example, when the number of outstanding work item entries becomes too high, a contract lapses, PeopleSoft Process Scheduler completes a batch process, and so on. Application Engine programs make such routings possible.
