Business Interlinks enable you to perform component-based, real-time integration from PeopleSoft to external systems. Business Interlinks do this by creating synchronous transactions that allow PeopleSoft applications to pass data to and receive data from the external system in real time. You can use Business Interlinks to integrate PeopleSoft with external systems, with another PeopleSoft application, and systems on the internet.

A transaction consists of a named command with optional named and typed inputs and outputs. The associated external system or the Business Interlink plug-in understands this command.

Business Interlinks are created in PeopleSoft Application Designer, so you should ensure that you are familiar with PeopleTools and PeopleSoft Application Designer.

See Enterprise PeopleTools 8.46 PeopleBook: PeopleSoft Application Designer.
