Episode 02: Peoplesoft Web Services with Peopletools 8.49
There are many features that are important in using Web Services. Without any doubt, Peoplesoft Web Services provides most of the features which relate to integrating with other application using Web Services Technology…To understand Peoplesoft Web Services, an introduction to service- oriented Architecture and related components are important.
Service- Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides the theory basis for understanding the Web Services Concept. There are three related components that are basic in SOA-
1. Service Requestor
2. Service Registry
3. Service Provider
A Service Requestor (Example: Book an airline reservation) submits an request to service registry. A Service Registry basically will have all the list of Services and their service provider. The Service Requestor finds the services from service registry and contacts to service provider directly for its transaction processing.
Starting with Peopletools 8.48 and later some of the Integration Broker terminologies are changed to reflect the integration based on Web Services & Service- Oriented Architecture model. Let’s discuss the Web Services technology stack to compare with Service-Oriented Architecture Theory.
Starting with Peoplesoft 8.48/8.49, Integration with any third-party application using Web Services is more easy to setup than the previous versions. Integration uses the mostly accepted Web Services Technology using SOAP, XML, WSDL, UDDI etc. The communication uses either HTTP or HTTPS so there are no other complicated protocols involved for communication purposes.
Any third-party application that is requesting a service contacts the Gateway URL which will provide the WSDL file. WSDL is an acronym for Web Services Description Language. A WSDL file is an XML file that provides the list of services provided, the service provider details, and the service descriptions.
Then, the second part of intgration. The third-party application needs to parse the WSDL file and process them - Development Work. Finally the Service transaction takes place. We will talk more about Peoplesoft Specific setup with an Example in coming weeks. Until next Time - Vijay Chinnasamy, PMP
