Feed Publishing Framework

The Feed Publishing Framework consists of a set of APIs and code samples to assist application developers in creating new type of feeds and integrating them with existing features; unified interfaces for content owners and administrative users to create, configure, and maintain feed definitions of various types; interfaces for end users to discover related feeds and search feed definitions; and multiple language support.

Integration Broker

PeopleSoft Integration Broker facilitates exposing PeopleSoft business logic as services and consuming external web services for PeopleSoft applications to invoke. PeopleSoft Integration Broker also supports synchronous and asynchronous messaging with other PeopleSoft applications and with third-party systems. PeopleSoft Integration Broker uses a variety of communication protocols, while managing message structure, message content, and transport disparities.

Query Manager

Query Manager is an end user reporting tool. With Query Manager, you can extract the precise information that you are looking for by using visual representations of your PeopleSoft database, without writing Structured Query Language (SQL) statements. The queries that you write can be as simple or as complex as necessary; they can be one-time queries or queries that you use repeatedly.

Workflow

Workflow enables you to efficiently automate the flow of information throughout your enterprise, crossing both application and functional boundaries. PeopleSoft Workflow Technology consists of a powerful set of tools that enables you to automate time-consuming business processes and deliver the right information to the right people at the right time. You can merge the activities of multiple users into flexible business processes to increase efficiency, cut costs, and keep up with rapidly changing customer and competitive challenges.

Process Scheduler

Process Scheduler is a centralized tool that enables application developers, system administrators, and application users to manage PeopleSoft batch processes. Using PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture, you can access a list of processes through a web browser and queue and run a process request.
