Understanding Multiple Application Instances in Unified Navigation

Unified navigation provides a framework to federate PeopleSoft applications under a single portal system, the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub. Additionally, you can configure multiple instances of the same application in PeopleSoft Interaction Hub. For example, your business need may require you to host multiple instances of an application such as Recruiting, Time and Labor EMEA, and Time and Labor APAC in a single PeopleSoft Interaction Hub system and direct a user to the appropriate instance to complete a task. In such a scenario, the multi-instance functionality allows you to configure multiple instances of a single application and experience seamless access to an instance based on security.

Important! This topic provides documentation on the multi-instance framework. The examples of multi-instance setup and navigation-group split are provided for illustration purpose only. For the actual implementation of the multi-instance setup and navigation group split, you must consult documentation specific to your application.

Configuring multiple instances of the same application includes the following steps:

  • Configure unified navigation (prerequisite).

  • Add custom property in web profile.

  • Configure a navigation group.

  • Configure pagelets from different instances into the dashboard or WorkCenter.

  • Configure related actions.
