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.

  1. Roadmap for configuring the module
    Before you can use WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise in a runtime environment, configure the module. Understanding this task at a high level helps you perform the steps that are needed to accomplish the task.
  2. Create a custom event project in PeopleTools
    To perform asynchronous inbound event processing, the adapter requires an event project in PeopleSoft. Use PeopleTools to create the custom event project.
  3. Create an authentication alias
    An authentication alias is a feature that encrypts the password used by the adapter to access the PeopleSoft Enterprise server. The adapter can use it to connect to the PeopleSoft Enterprise server instead of using a user ID and password stored in an adapter property.
  4. Create the project
    To begin the process of creating and deploying a module, you start the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer.

    You then create a project, which is used to organize the files associated with the adapter.

  5. Adding external software dependencies
    The external service wizard needs two files either copied or generated from the PeopleSoft Enterprise to be able to communicate with it. Use the external service wizard to specify the location of the JAR files. To add the required JAR files to your project, make sure that the files are in the local machine and then use the IBM Integration Designer to specify the location of the files.
  6. Setting connection properties for the external service wizard
    To set connection properties for the external service wizard so that it can access the PeopleSoft Enterprise server, specify information such as the user name and password you use to access the server and the name or IP address of the server.
  7. Configure the module for outbound processing
    To configure a module to use the adapter for outbound processing, use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to find and select business objects and services from the PeopleSoft Enterprise server, and to generate the business object definitions and related artifacts.
  8. Configure the module for inbound processing
    To configure a module to use the adapter for inbound processing, use the external service wizard in IBM Integration Designer to find and select business objects and services from the PeopleSoft Enterprise server, and to generate business object definitions and related artifacts.
