Exploring the PurchaseOrder import and related artifacts

When the enterprise service discovery wizard is used to discover and select EIS services, an import (or an export) is generated. You can learn a lot about imports and their related artifacts by simply browsing them in the Business Integration view and in the editors that are used to work with them.

In this topic, you explore the PurchaseOrder import and its related artifacts, such as its interface and business objects.

To explore the PurchaseOrder import and related artifacts:

  1. Browse the PurchaseOrder import and related artifacts in the Business Integration view:
    1. In the Business Integration view, expand the PurchaseOrderInformation module.
    2. Expand the Assembly Diagram folder.
    3. On the same tree level as the Assembly Diagram folder, expand both Data Types and Interfaces. In the Business Integration view, the contents of the PurchaseOrderInformation module should resemble the following figure:

      Under the Assembly Diagram folder, the service/PurchaseOrder import is displayed. Under the Data Types folder, the business objects are displayed that were imported from the EIS services running on the PeopleSoft server. And under the Interfaces folder, the PurchaseOrder interface is displayed.
  2. Browse the PurchaseOrder import in the assembly editor:
    1. Under the Assembly Diagram module, right-click service/PurchaseOrder and select Open. The PurchaseOrderInformation assembly diagram opens in the assembly editor and the PurchaseOrder import is displayed on the assembly editor canvas, as shown in the following figure:

    2. At the bottom of the assembly editor, click the Properties tab. The Properties page opens.
    3. In the assembly editor canvas, click the PurchaseOrder import. The properties for the PurchaseOrder import are displayed in the Properties page.
    4. In the Properties page, click Description. In the right pane, PurchaseOrder is described as an import with an EIS binding that resides in the service folder, as shown in the following figure:

    5. In the Properties page, click Details. In the right pane, expand the PurchaseOrder interface to reveal the operations that it contains.
    6. In the Properties page, click Binding. Browse the Binding pane and its End-point configuration, Method bindings, and Security attributes subpanes. Note that in the Security attributes subpane, you can specify a J2C authentication alias in the J2C Authentication Data Entry field, as shown in the following figure:

      However, as later demonstrated in this sample, you can alternatively specify a J2C authentication alias in the enterprise service discovery wizard when you first create the import.
    7. Close the assembly editor.
  3. Browse the PurchaseOrder interface in the interface editor:
    1. In the Business Integration view, select the Purchase Order interface and then click the References tab to open the References view. In the References view, you can see the relationship of the Purchase Order interface to two of the business objects.
    2. In the Business Integration view, right-click the PurchaseOrder interface and select Open with > Interface Editor. The PurchaseOrder interface opens in the interface editor, as shown in the following figure:

    3. Browse the PurchaseOrder interface operations and familiarize yourself with the contents of the Properties page, then close the interface editor.
  4. Browse the PSOFTPoRecord business object in the business object editor:
    1. In the Business Integration view, select the PSOFTPoRecord business object. In the References view, you can see the relationship of the PSOFTPoRecord business object to the other business objects.
    2. In the Business Integration view, right-click the PSOFTPoRecord business object and selectOpen With > Business Object Editor. The PSOFTPoRecord business object opens in the business object editor, as shown in the following figure:
