Defining Integration Gateways

Use the Gateways page (IB_GATEWAY) in the Gateways component (IB_GATEWAY) to specify the location of the gateway, update configuration settings, and register target connectors to be used with the gateway.

Note:

A default local gateway definition is automatically created upon installation. If you plan to use only the local gateway, you do not need to create a new definition; however, you still must configure the gateway.

To access the Gateways page, select PeopleTools, and then Integration Broker, and then Configuration, and then Integration Gateways.

This example illustrates the Gateways page with the gateway URL defined and the target connectors loaded.

Gateways page

To define and configure a gateway:

  1. Access the Gateways page (select PeopleTools, and then Integration Broker, and then Configuration, and then Integration Gateways).

    • Click Search, and select an existing gateway definition.

      The Gateways page appears, displaying the gateway definition.

      Note:

      The default ID for the delivered local gateway is LOCAL.

    • Add a new value, enter an integration gateway ID, and click Add.

      The Gateways page appears.

  2. (Optional.) Select Local Gateway to designate the gateway as local.

    Each PeopleSoft Integration Broker node requires exactly one local gateway, which is the application’s first point of contact with other PeopleSoft applications, third-party systems, Integration Broker hubs, and remote gateways.

    Note:

    You must open the definition of the designated local gateway and clear the Local Gateway check box before you can select that check box in another definition.

  3. Enter the gateway URL for the selected gateway’s PeopleSoft listening connector.

    Specify the URL with the format:

    http://machinename:port/PSIGW/PeopleSoftListeningConnector

    In this case, machinename:port is the machine name and port, host name, or IP address of the web server hosting the gateway.

    By default the port number is 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS. If using the default port number, you do not need to specify it in the URL.

    For HTTPS, the URL should start with https.

    The integration gateway URL is case sensitive.

    The gateway uses the PeopleSoft listening connector to receive service operations from an integration engine node or a remote gateway.

  4. (Optional.) To load the delivered target connectors, click the Load Gateway Connectors button.

    You can load the delivered target connectors at this point, or at a later time.

  5. Save the gateway definition.

  6. Click the Gateway Setup Properties link to configure additional gateway settings and connector properties.
