Adapter dependencies
The adapter has the following software prerequisites and
other dependencies:
- The connector requires two layers of PeopleSoft API classes.
Make sure that these API classes are available:
- psjoa.jar-- The connector uses this API to connect to the Application
Server through BEA Systems' Jolt port, and to send objects
through the Application Server. This file is included with PeopleTools.
Save it to the directory where you will install the connector.
For more information on retrieving PeopleSoft's API
files, see PeopleSoft's Installation and Administration Guide.
- Component
Interface API--The connector accesses this layer only after
a session object has been created and a connection to the PeopleSoft Application
Server has been established using psjoa.jar. The Component Interface API provides access to all of a
Component Interface's exposed objects and PeopleCode methods.
You must manually generate this API in Application Designer.
- A user account must exist in PeopleSoft for the connector, and
it must be configured so that it does not time out. Also, it must
use PeopleSoft security, and have privileges to insert, update,
retrieve, and delete data from pages, components, and component
interfaces in the PeopleSoft system.
- If WebSphere InterChange Server is the integration broker: Delete
any previously installed versions of the connector. Also, delete
all previous customizations made in PeopleSoft for the connector.
For example, delete all connector-related Menus, Pages, Records,
Message Definitions Components, and Component Interfaces. Also,
delete the connector's event and archive tables. Typically,
these objects are stored in a connector-specific project that you
can open in Application Designer.
Note:
If you install a WebSphere Business Integration
Adapter on the same machine as a previous installation of the connector
for WebSphere InterChange Server, the WebSphere InterChange Server
connector will not run unless you manually switch the IBM WebSphere
system environment variable to point to the desired product path.
- Required Fields, Pages, Records, Components, and Component Interfaces
must be defined in your PeopleSoft application.
