Agenda• Wells Fargo Profile• Our issue• Alternatives explored• IBM DataPower• Historical Path/Future Direction

Wells Fargo & Company

• Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) Wells Fargo & Company is a diversified financial services company providing banking, insurance, investments, mortgage, and consumer and commercial finance through more than 9,000 stores and more than 12,000 ATMs and the Internet (wellsfargo.com) across North America and internationally serving over 70 million customers.

• We employ over 282,000 team members in more than 35 countries across our 80+ businesses

• Current US population consists of • 265,000 full-time employees• 16,000 part-time employees• 1800 flexible employees

PeopleSoft Installations• MVS/DB2 platform• Initially installed PeopleSoft version 2.0 in 1993

(HR/Payroll/Benefits)• Multiple upgrades to 4.5, 6.0, 7.5, and 8.3

throughout the years• Upgraded to PS version 8.9 in 2007• Upgrade to version 9.2 projected go live May

2014

Problem• Needed to publish an asynchronous message to MQ

series for our identity management system (onboarding)• Integration with MQ for Asynchronous required large

infrastructure support from PS team– WebLogic tweaks and MQ agents

• Wells Fargo specific SOAP message – WFXML• PeopleTools doesn’t support external WSDL and XSD

not generated by itself if producer of service

QuestDirect.org

Alternatives• Create customized method to build WFXML

– Didn’t allow for other formats– Methods created to do this, had to be

maintained through tools upgrades– Mod to import different WSDL – needed to be

maintained with tools upgrades– Worked okay with tweaking for each new service

QuestDirect.org

Alternatives• Use PS delivered integration with JDeveloper to

create XSLT– Clunky method, includes running an app engine as

part of message

• 3rd party transformation– Software to create XSLT and import – SOA device to do transformation

• Wells Fargo already using DataPower

QuestDirect.org

What is DataPower ?

9

An IBM Integration Appliance that provides security and integration gateway capabilities Optimized High performance hardware, firmware, embedded OS Easier and quicker configuration based development and administration High speed transformation and processing using dedicated, hardware-based accelerators

PS/DP Integrations in Production

10

NRT(Near Real Time) publishing from PeopleSoft to OUI and IAM Subscribers via MQ

PeopleSoft Integration broker connects to DataPower via https and sends PS XML message. DataPower Transforms the message to two WFXML messages and publish to OUI and IAM MQ

topics respectively.

PS/DP Integrations in Production

11

TurboTax(Intuit) integration with PeopleSoft for real time retrieval of W2

TurboTax(Intuit) sends OFX request to DataPower which it transform in to PS XML request and call the PS IB via F5.

W2 Response from PS was transformed to OFX and sent back to TurboTax

PS/DP TurboTax in Production

QuestDirect.org

Historical Path• First project was to implement connection to MQ for Async

message– Started to install MQ client software– Used PS delivered connectors– Started to realize ongoing cost of maintenance and special

configuration needed– Discovered DataPower comes with built in hook to MQ (imagine that)– Used DataPower device to connect to MQ not for transformation, only

had to change routing definition, no software installation– Insulated from changes to MQ

QuestDirect.org

Historical Path• Fix for PeopleTools 8.52 Bug

– Internal service used WFXML – Upgraded to tool 8.52, missed testing service– Service started failing, discovered bug that put an extra

SOAP envelope around the SOAP envelope– Changed to message through DataPower. DataPower

stripped the extra wrapper. No code changes on either side. Connected to different end points.

– First use of transformation capabilities

QuestDirect.org

Historical Path• W2 OFX message

– Used existing build of W2 online rowsets – Needed specific format for OFX standard– Using DataPower, could use existing code

and do not have to maintain changes to standard in PS

QuestDirect.org

Impacts to Future• DataPower now standard for all our external services.

– Removing WFXML PS mod– Single communication point, allows for easier certificate maintenance etc.

• All XML based messages will now use part message– Strips PSCAMA stuff out– Allows for cleaner XML out of PS– Can structure more like XML needed – rowset based – utilize existing skill

• Experts doing the right work– Our DataPower staff is really good at transformation and communication services– Our PeopleSoft staff is really good at PeopleSoft

• Integration with 3rd Party recruiting– Moving to a SaaS model for recruiting– 30+ integration points, all will use DataPower.

• CI as a service– Anticipate use of this more extensively
