Technical overview

The adapter supports the exchange of business data between the PeopleSoft Enterprise server and WebSphere® Message Broker. It does so by connecting to two layers of PeopleTools application programming interface classes that reveal the underlying business data for integration.

WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise establishes bidirectional connectivity with the PeopleSoft Enterprise server by connecting to two PeopleTools application programming interfaces as follows:

  1. The adapter accesses the primary API layer to create a session instance and to connect to the application server through the Jolt port.
  2. The adapter then accesses the PeopleSoft Component Interface API, which reveals underlying business data, logic, and functionality.
In PeopleSoft, a component is a set of pages grouped together for a business purpose (such as an employee profile), and a component interface is an API that provides synchronous access to a component from an external application. Once the adapter connects to the component interface, the following entities are exposed to the adapter and available for integration:
  • All business objects in the component interface definition
  • PeopleCode methods associated with the underlying components
  • Records, except searches and menu-specific processing options
