Where PeopleSoft and Fusion Integration Meet

Oracle is not replacing Integration Broker (IB) for PeopleSoft Applications

• PeopleSoft Integration Broker passes information between PeopleSoft Apps and Fusion Middleware

• Fusion Middleware discovers web services through Integration Broker

A [web] service is a unit of discrete business functionality.• Example: Purchase Order

A [web] service operation does only one thing:• Examples: Create Purchase Order

Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is an industry standard for orchestrating processes that uses web services (think workflow on steroids)

A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides a standards-based platform that allows services to be provided, discovered, and consumedto facilitate the creation of orchestrated business processes.

A service oriented application leverages the power of a service oriented architecture. Example: All PeopleSoft applications

Read data from a spreadsheet into PSFT and write back to spreadsheet which rows failed to load and why

Ideal for data conversion • Example: loading employees or customers

All of the validations and PeopleCode events execute as if you entered the information on a PeopleSoft page

Application Engine andFile Layout

Application Engine (AE) is the preferred file & SQL processing tool

• Schedule via Process Scheduler• Run on-demand / stand-alone • Run as a daemon (background) process

for condition polling• Part of PeopleTools

• Leverage existing logic and PeopleCode

• Send messages via Integration Broker

File Layout definitionaly maps file format (fixed, CSV or XML) to Record Definition and is used by AE for file processing.

• Click the “AE” button and Application Designer and will write the PeopleCode in an Application Engine with PeopleCode validations to load the file for you.

IBM and Vitria charge for their EAI tools ($250-500k)

BPEL PM is free* for processes that interact with PeopleSoft Apps and use PeopleTools 8.48 or higher

• Would otherwise cost $40,000 per CPU• Can license BPEL PM and ESB for older releases of

From Charles Phillips at Collaborate 2006

PeopleSoft Enterprise 9.0:

“The releases introduce a number of additional webservices that will allow the products to co-exist better in any eco-system”

26

PeopleSoft is already a Service Oriented Application• Provides [web] services out of the box• Includes the tools you need to provide and consume additional

services

Fusion Middleware and BPEL PM can build on what you’ve already created with PeopleSoft Integration Broker and take it to the next level with process orchestration

• Web services are building blocks• Orchestrated processes are the house

If you need it, hiring consulting services to teach you how to use the free tools that Oracle licenses to PeopleSoft customers willcost you much less than the license of 3rd party EAI or process orchestration tools
