Introduction to the PeopleSoft sample

The PeopleSoft sample shows you how to use a PurchaseOrder import to access purchase order information on an EIS system that is running on a PeopleSoft server. If you choose to build the sample yourself rather than simply browsing the ready-made sample, you will learn how to use the enterprise service discovery wizard to discover and select the EIS services associated with the purchase order information and then generate the PurchaseOrder import to access them.

An import is a component that enables an application to request and obtain data and information from an EIS system. An export, by comparison, is a component that enables an EIS system to monitor an application and periodically provide it with data and information. Although this sample focuses on the use of imports, you can learn more about both imports and exports by reading the "EIS imports and exports" topic in the information center.

In WebSphere Integration Developer, the enterprise service discovery wizard is the designated tool for generating both imports and exports. In the context of imports, the wizard enables you to:

The enterprise service discovery wizard is shown in the following figure:

To work with the PeopleSoft sample, you can either browse the ready-made sample or you can build the sample yourself. These activities are described in the following topics:

It takes approximately 15 minutes to browse the ready-made sample and 30 minutes to build the sample.
