WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise documentation
IBM WebSphere Adapters connect business applications with various enterprise information systems and make it possible for data to be exchanged in a consistent manner. IBM WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise provides connectivity for the exchange of data between applications and a PeopleSoft Enterprise environment.
- Overview of WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise
With WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise, you can create integrated processes that exchange information with PeopleSoft Enterprise through a standard interface. This interface shields the client application from analyzing lower-level details about implementation of the application or data structures used on the PeopleSoft Enterprise server.- Plan for adapter implementation
To implement the IBM WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise, you must plan for inbound and outbound processing and consider security and performance requirements.- Samples and tutorials
To help you use WebSphere Adapters, samples and tutorials are available from the Business Process Management Samples and Tutorials website.- Configure the module for deployment
To configure the adapter so that it can be deployed on IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, use IBM Integration Designer to create a module, which is exported as an EAR file when you deploy the adapter. You then specify the business objects you want to discover and the system on which you want to discover them.- Modify artifacts
Often business requirements mandate changes to the backend enterprise information system (EIS) data structures. These changes call for regeneration and reconfiguration of artifacts (import and export) that were previously generated using the external service wizard.- Changing interaction specification properties
To change interaction specification properties for your adapter module after generating the service, use the assembly editor in IBM Integration Designer.- Deploying the module
Deploy a module to place the files that make up your module and adapter into an operational environment for production or testing. In IBM Integration Designer, the integrated test environment features runtime support for IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, or both, depending on the test environment profiles that you selected during installation.- Administer the adapter module
When you are running the adapter in a stand-alone deployment, use the administrative console of the server to start, stop, monitor, and troubleshoot the adapter module. In an application that uses an embedded adapter, the adapter module starts or stops when the application is started or stopped.- Troubleshooting and support
Common troubleshooting techniques and self-help information help you identify and solve problems quickly. For information about configuring logging properties and changing the log and trace file names, see Configure logging and tracing.- Reference information
To support you in your tasks, reference information includes details about business objects that are generated by the external service wizard and information about adapter properties, including those that support bidirectional transformation. It also includes pointers to adapter messages and related product information.- Adapter documentation in PDF format
