Overview of the connector

This chapter describes the connector component of the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for PeopleSoft 7.x. The connector enables a supported integration broker (InterChange Server or WebSphere MQ Integrator) to exchange business objects with PeopleSoft 7.5 applications.

Connectors consist of two parts: the connector framework and the application-specific component. The connector framework, whose code is common to all connectors, acts as an intermediary between the integration broker and the application-specific component. The application-specific component contains code tailor to a particular application. The connector framework provides the following services between the integration broker and the application-specific component:

This document contains information about the connector framework and the application-specific component. It refers to both of these components as the connector.

For more information about the relationship of the integration broker to the connector, see the System Administration Guide, or the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Implementation Guide for MQ Integrator.

The connector works with the following databases: Informix, SQLBase, Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft, DB2, DB2ODBC, DB2MDI, DB2400, DB2Unix.
