You can configure PeopleSoft 8.1 to send an asynchronous outbound message to the Simple File Handler.
To configure application messaging in PeopleSoft 8.1:
These tasks are described in detail in the following procedures.
To create and configure a new Message Node:
The Message Node window opens and contains three options: Insert Location, Find Object References, and Delete as shown in the following image.
The Location URL box opens where you type the URL for the location as shown in the following image.
machine-name:port/servlets/psft.pt8.gateway.GatewayServlet
where:
Is the URL of your PeopleSoft web server.
Is the socket on which the server is listening.
The characters you type after machine-name must be case-sensitive.
The Message Node Properties dialog box opens. It contains a Local Node check box and PeopleTools Version, Application Version, Password, Re-verify Password, and Distinguished Name fields.
The following image shows the Save As dialog box with a Save Name As field.
It is recommended that you name your first (trial) message node EXTERNAL. After successfully configuring and sending messages using this node, you can create additional message nodes with names appropriate for your application.
If you intend to migrate this message node to a different PeopleSoft environment (for example, from Test to QA), you can create a PeopleSoft Project and insert the Message Node into the Project.
You have finished creating and configuring the message node.
To ensure that the message is active and is routed to the proper message channel:
The following image shows the LOCATION_TBL field, selected in the left pane. The message field names appear in a column with corresponding columns for the field alias and a check box indicating whether to include the field.
The Message Properties dialog box opens as shown in the following image and includes Non-Repudiation and Status check boxes, Message Channel and Default Version lists, and Use Message Monitor Dialog and Use Page options.
To configure the Message Channel:
The Message Channel properties dialog box opens as shown in the following image. It contains Message Channel Status and Quality of Service options and an Archive Messages? check box.
You are returned to Application Designer.
The Insert Message Node dialog box opens, as shown in the following image with a list of objects that match the selection criteria.
You are returned to the routing Rules tab where you can select from expanding menus as shown in the following image.
You have finished configuring the Message Channel.
To configure the Simple File Handler in the Gateway:
machine-name:port/servlets/gateway.administration
where:
Is the name of the application server where PeopleSoft is hosted.
Is the port number on which the application server is listening.
The Handler Directory window opens, as shown in the following image.
The Add Handler window opens, as shown in the following image.
