Creating or editing an endpoint for a PeopleSoft activity

Endpoints provide the configuration information that Studio and the Integration Appliance use to connect to a PeopleSoft server.  

Selecting or editing a PeopleSoft endpoint

  1. In the Create Endpoint or Edit Endpoint pane, configure the PeopleSoft server as described in the following table. In addition to these fields, the endpoint pane contains Connection pool options and Remote Endpoint Configuration.
    Note: Changing the configuration properties of an endpoint affects all orchestrations that use that endpoint in the project. The edits are global, not local.
  2. Click Test Connection to confirm that the connection details are valid and you are able to connect to the PeopleSoft server successfully.
  3. Click OK.
Table 1. Connection properties
Field Name Description
PeopleSoft Server Configuration
Host Name Specifies the host name or IP address of the machine on which PeopleSoft server is running.
Port Specifies the PeopleSoft Internet port that allows Java™ applets or applications to access PeopleSoft data.
User Name Specifies the user name to connect to the PeopleSoft server.
Password Specifies the password associated with the user name to connect to the PeopleSoft server.
Language Code Specifies the language code to connect to the PeopleSoft server. There are 22 language codes listed. The default code is ENG.
Connection Pool options
Minimum Connections Specifies the lowest number of PeopleSoft server connections that the Integration Appliance keeps open in the connection pool. Entering 0 (zero) is supported. The default value is 5.
Maximum Connections Specifies the maximum number of PeopleSoft server connections that the Integration Appliance can keep open in the connection pool. Entering 0 (zero) means the maximum number of connections is unbounded. The default value is 25.
Maximum Idle Time Specifies the amount of time in minutes that a PeopleSoft server connection can be open in an idle state before being closed by the Integration Appliance. Entering 0 (zero) means that the connections are closed when they are returned to the pool —no idle time. The default value is 120 minutes.
Maximum Wait Specifies the amount of time in seconds that the Integration Appliance waits for a connection when all the connections in the pool are exhausted. If no connection is obtained after the wait time, an exception is thrown. The default value is 300 seconds.
Reclaim Connections Specifies the interval at which the connector checks for idle connections. Idle connections are reclaimed until the minimum number of connections is reached, as specified in the Minimum Connections parameter. The default value is 5 minute.
Note: The Connection pool properties need to be configured as per the load (number of concurrent requests) on the endpoint.
Remote Endpoint Configuration
Endpoint Runs Behind Firewall Enables the secure connector name property so that secure connector can be used if the PeopleSoft server is running behind a firewall.
Secure Connector Name Specifies the name of the secure connector that is used to connect to the PeopleSoft server running behind a firewall. For example, if an orchestration containing PeopleSoft activity is deployed on to Cast Iron Live (cloud), then the secure connector needs to be configured.
