17 Component Interface Excel Integration Component CI Introspect XML / HTTP Transaction XML / HTTP Response Read data from a spreadsheet into PSFT and write back to spreadsheet which rows failed to load and why Ideal for data conversion Example: loading employees or customers 17 All of the validations and PeopleCode events execute as if you entered the information on a PeopleSoft page

18 Messages The content or payload of what Integration Broker sends from one system to another In Application Designer messages are the containers that hold that payload and the PeopleCode to process them 18

19 Integration Technology Overview API Real-time (synchronous) Component Interface Business Interlink PeopleCode Java Java HTML COM Page C/C++ File Traditional Deferred (batch) App Engine File Layout Object Business Rules Internet Real-time (synchronous) Web Services Internet SOAP WSDL XML/HTTP Internet Internet Near real-time (asynchronous) App Messaging 19

20 Application Engine and File Layout Application Engine (AE) is the preferred file & SQL processing tool Schedule via Process Scheduler Run on-demand / stand-alone Run as a daemon (background) process for condition polling Part of PeopleTools Leverage existing logic and PeopleCode Send messages via Integration Broker File Layout definitionaly maps file format (fixed, CSV or XML) to Record Definition and is used by AE for file processing. Click the AE button and Application Designer and will write the PeopleCode in an Application Engine with PeopleCode validations to load the file for you. 20
