Setting Up on the PeopleSoft Side

This section discusses how to:

  • Set up the publish/subscribe servers using the PSADMIN utility.

  • Set up the PeopleSoft Integration Broker gateway.

  • Define a message node to represent the third-party application that will be publishing content messages.

  • Define message channels.

To set up the publish/subscribe server:

  1. Access the PSADMIN menu to set up your application server for the database.

  2. In the Configure this domain option, keep selecting the default values by pressing the ENTER key until you see the message Do you want the Publish/Subscribe servers configured (y/n)?

  3. Be sure that [y] is selected.

    The system loads the new configuration.

  4. Boot the domain.

See the product documentation for PeopleTools: System and Server Administration.

The PeopleSoft Integration Broker Gateway receives incoming data.

To set up the PeopleSoft Integration Broker Gateway:

  1. Select PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Gateways > Find an Existing Value.

  2. Search for an existing value named Local and click Search.

  3. If Local does not already exist, access the Add a New Value page and add Local in the Integration Gateway ID field. Click Add. This action takes you to the Gateway page.

    The Gateway page is blank initially. After you save and click the Load button, this page is populated with information.

  4. Ensure that the Local Gateway check box is selected.

  5. Enter a URL in the Gateway URL field. If you are using the SendMaster utility, this URL should be http://<server hostname>/PSIGW/PeopleSoftListeningConnector.

  6. Click the Save button.

  7. Click the Load button. A message appears to confirm that the loading process was successful.

  8. Click the Refresh button.

  9. Click the Save button.

Note: There may be slight variations on different platforms. You may also need to configure the Integration gateway.properties file for the Gateway.

Define an external node per the instructions in the Integration Broker PeopleBook, specifying these items:

  • Enter EXT as the node name.

  • For Node Type, select External.

  • Select Active Node.

  • Add a routing to the node definition, and in the routing select the appropriate service operation.

  • Go your portal node definitions, access the EXT node you defined, and specify the PeopleTools and PeopleSoft Interaction Hub release levels.

See the product documentation for PeopleTools: Integration Broker.

Activate the appropriate service operation on the Service Operations page in Integration Broker.
