Overview

Note

These instructions assume the user has a working knowledge of PeopleSoft.

The PeopleSoft task allows you to send commands to a PeopleSoft system and gather status information and output back from PeopleSoft. The PeopleSoft task uses Stonebranch's proprietary Universal Connector for PeopleSoft (UPPS) to communicate with PeopleSoft . Universal Connector for PeopleSoft allows Universal Controller to connect to a PeopleSoft system and manage PeopleSoft background processing tasks.

Before You Begin

To run a PeopleSoft task, you must first complete the following:

Identify a Universal Agent for Linux/Unix that will interface with the PeopleSoft system.
Define an PeopleSoft connection in the Controller database.

Built-In Variables

The following built-in variables can be used in a PeopleSoft task to pass data where appropriate:

Creating a PeopleSoft Task

Step 1	From the Automation Center navigation pane, select Tasks > PeopleSoft Tasks. The PeopleSoft Tasks list displays a list of all currently defined PeopleSoft tasks. To the right of the list, PeopleSoft Task Details for a new PeopleSoft task displays.
Step 2	Enter/select Details for a new PeopleSoft task, using the field descriptions below as a guide. Required fields display an asterisk ( * ) after the field name. Default values for fields, if available, display automatically. To display more of the Details fields on the screen, you can either: Use the scroll bar. Temporarily hide the list above the Details. Click the New button above the list to display a pop-up version of the Details.
Step 3	Click a Save button. The task is added to the database, and all buttons and tabs in the Task Details are enabled.

Note

To open an existing record on the list, either:

Click a record in the list to display its record Details below the list. (To clear record Details below the list, click the New button that displays above and below the Details.)
Clicking the Details icon next to a record name in the list, or right-click a record in the list and then click Open in the Action menu that displays, to display a pop-up version of the record Details.
Right-click a record in the a list, or open a record and right-click in the record Details, and then click Open In Tab in the Action menu that displays, to display the record Details under a new tab on the record list page (see Record Details as Tabs).

Adding RunTime Parameters

You can add one or more RunTime Parameters for each PeopleSoft task, and define the values for those parameters, as described below.

Adding a Parameter

Step 1	Open the PeoplsSoft task to which you want to add the parameter.
Step 2	Click the Runtime Parameters tab. The Runtime Parameters list displays a list of all Runtime Parameters for which values have been defined for this task.
Step 3	Click the button to display RunTime Parameter Details. Note If the Command field in the PeopleSoft Details specifies Schedule Job, the RunTime Parameter Details also requires you to select a Process Name and Process Type.
Step 4	Click the refresh picker icon next to the Parameter Name field to select options for the RunTime Parameter.
Step 5	For each field on the Refresh Parameter Name Options... dialog, you can select from a list of values that may have changed since the last time that a value was selected. Most of the fields on a Refresh Options... dialog are fields from the PeopleSoft Task Details, and the values for those fields in the dialog are, by default, the same as the values for the fields in the Details. You can keep the current values or change them from their drop-down lists. When you click the Submit button on the Refresh Parameter Name Options... dialog, the drop-down list for the Parameter Name field in the RunTime Parameter Details is populated with values that are determined by the values that you submitted on the Refresh Parameter Name Options... dialog.
Step 6	Select a parameter from the drop-down list and enter a Parameter Value.
