Procedure: How to Upgrade PeopleTools
  1. If you are upgrading from PeopleTools version 8.1 to version 8.4, then you must first refer to Specifying the Version of PeopleSoft before proceeding.
  2. Ensure that the Component Interfaces delivered through iWay are available in the new version of PeopleTools.

    If you are migrating from an older version of PeopleTools to a newer PeopleTools version, then PeopleSoft should automatically migrate them. Otherwise, you will have to reinstall the Component Interfaces that are delivered through iWay. For more information, see Installing the Adapter Component Interfaces.

  3. Perform one of the following steps If you have installed the TCP/IP handler that is delivered through iWay in the current production version of PeopleTools:
    1. If the current PeopleTools version is 8.1 and if you are migrating to version 8.4, then iWay recommend that you use the HTTP connector that is delivered through PeopleSoft. For more information, see Using PeopleSoft 8 Integration Broker.
    2. If your current PeopleTools version is 8.4 and if you are using the TCP/IP handler, then iWay recommends that you use the HTTP connector that is delivered through PeopleSoft. For more information, see Using PeopleSoft 8 Integration Broker.
  4. If you are using the PeopleSoft Integration Broker to publish messages to iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft, then refer to the PeopleTools release notes and user documentation for changes in the functionality of PeopleSoft Integration Broker.
  5. Perform the following steps in the \lib subfolder where iWay Service Manager (iSM) is installed:
    1. Stop iSM.
    2. Create a backup of the current psjoa.jar and Component Interface API .jar files and then delete these files.
    3. Copy the new psjoa.jar and Component Interface API .jar files.

      For more information, see Generating Component Interface APIs.

    4. Start iSM.
  6. Using iWay Explorer, change the connection parameters for any existing iWay Application Adapter for PeopleSoft targets and channels.

    Note: Existing adapter targets and channels will contain the old PeopleSoft server (old PeopleTools) information and must be changed to reflect the new version of PeopleSoft server (new PeopleTools).

  7. If you are planning to create a new adapter target and channel, then your existing process flows and other processes must be changed to use the new adapter targets and channels.
