PeopleSoft PROCESSREQUEST Web Service

The Universal Connector for PeopleSoft Process Scheduler (UPPS) relies on the functionality of the PROCESSREQUEST web service provided by the PeopleSoft Integration Broker.

If the service is not already available on the Integration Broker, it will have to be provided before UPPS will be able carry out its functionality for that system. If necessary, the Provide Web Service Wizard of the PeopleSoft Integration Broker can easily perform the tasks required to make the PROCESSREQUEST service available.

The wizard can be opened by going to:

PeopleTools->Integration Broker->Web Services->Provide Web Services

All service operations of the PROCESSREQUEST web service should be enabled.

Refer to PeopleSoft documentation for details of using the Provide Web Service Wizard.

Communicating with PeopleSoft Web Services

UPPS requires specific connection information to communicate with the web services offered by the PeopleSoft Integration Broker. The required UPPS configuration options are described in the HOST Options section of this documentation.

This section describes where to look in the PeopleSoft system to find the values needed for those configuration options.

The main value required for communicating with the PeopleSoft web services is specified in the the ENDPOINT configuration option. This value is the path to the web service on the Integration Broker.

The value defined for a specific PeopleSoft system can be obtained by going to:

PeopleTools->Integration Broker->Configuration->Service Configuration

From there, click on the Setup Target Locations link, which will provide a dialog containing a Web Service Target Locations section. This section specifies the HTTP and HTTPS endpoints used by the Integration Broker for web services.

Typical target locations will look similar to the following:

Target Location	http://qapsft.stone.branch:8000/PSIGW/PeopleSoftServiceListeningConnector/PSFT_HR
Secure Target Location	https://qapsft.stone.branch:8443/PSIGW/PeopleSoftServiceListeningConnector/PSFT_HR

Given the Secure Target Location above, the connection portion of a UPPS command line would look like this:

>upps -i qapsft.stone.branch -psendpoint https://qapsft.stone.branch:8443/PSIGW/PeopleSoftServiceListeningConnector/PSFT_HR
