The initial configuration for the iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft consists of the following key steps.

1. Consult with your PeopleSoft system administrator to determine the PeopleTools version being used (not the PeopleSoft system/application version).

   The iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft follows and is directed by the PeopleTools version (not the PeopleSoft system/application version). After you have determined the PeopleTools version, see Specifying the Version of PeopleSoft to configure the adapter to use PeopleTools version 8.1 or version 8.4.

4. If you are using PeopleTools version 8.1 and require use of the adapter to consume events from PeopleSoft (messages from PeopleSoft), then you must install the iWay prepackaged listener on the PeopleSoft system. For more information, see Installing the TCP/IP Message Router for the iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft.
