I would like to have these written as attributes to one node if possible. Any suggestions? I am a little bit closer, but am having trouble getting rid of the automatic generated stuff. In my opinion, Attributes are good for storing version information, change dates and so forth, child elements are where you store the actual data. I see many wanting to store data in attributes lately here in this forum, but I was taught the above in school.
Good point. I was going this route because I didn't want to change the coding in the flash piece that will be using the XML file to pull out attributes. At this point it is more of a curiousity as I would like to know how to go about this in the future if I do need to format as attributes.
Later on in the future, you'll see stuff like the following. I design my xml files as xsd files, and then run xsd. With the class output, you can access an element in the following format. You can read and write the file with ease, but you need to have a strong xml base structure.
Thanks for the sample. The main aim of this blog is to expose the PeopleSoft aspects to the developers who are working for PeopleSoft. How to do the same if we have multiple files and 1record to write the data? All About PeopleSoft. View my complete profile. You can use application engine to import files into tables in your PeopleSoft Database. Prior to version 8, the only way to programmatically do this was by using SQR.
However, you now have the ability to create a File Layout Definition object and using Peoplecode, you can load a file directly into your database. Application Engine is extremely powerful when utilized correctly. Therefore, you have the ability to manipulate the data just as you were capable of doing using SQR. I'm going to walk through loading data from a flat file into a table using Application Engine.
This example is a very simple one and is easy to follow. So lets get started! People Soft subscription processes On Notify Handlers are then automatically executed to retrieve the data from the message queue and load it into staging tables. Different PeopleSoft applications initiate processes that read the transactions from the staging tables and load the data to the actual PeopleSoft application database tables.
The source trading partner performs the Publish Outbound Message process that retrieves the transactions from the staging tables or application tables, and publishes the data as XML to the Integration Broker, based on the options set in the batch publish rules XML options. If one of the industry standard connectors compatible with PeopleSoft's Integration Broker Gateway is being used and the destination's XML format is compatible with PeopleSoft's XML format then it may be sent directly from the source site to the destination's gateway.
Also, if the data is not in PeopleSoft's XML format a transformation data mapping "from" PeopleSoft's XML format must be made either at the source site, a middleware site or at the destinations site. Transformations to and from the trading partner formats can be performed using the Integration Broker. In this situation the Integration Broker can perform the transformation and then with the correct connector can post directly to the destination trading partner's system.
If a middleware connector is required the middleware product will post to the destinations gateway or will create a flat file to be received by the trading partner through their VAN. When using these products you can still eliminate the use of flat files coming in and out of the PeopleSoft system even when working with trading partners that are not ready to move to the new technology. When utilizing this approach flat files would still be used between the middleware product, VAN and the trading partner.
However, by removing the second transform program from the routing you can change the system to output X. The source-trading partner performs the Publish Outbound Message process that retrieves the transactions from the staging tables or application tables, and publishes the data as XML to the Integration Broker, based on the options set in the batch publish rules XML options. The PeopleSoft Integration Broker then transforms the data as specified on the active routings for the service operation and delivers the transformed data using the connector designated on the routing or node.
The Integration Broker posts the X. If the trading partner requires transformations of the X. Otherwise the XML is posted directly into their application system. If trading partner is not delivering data in PeopleSoft's business document file format, set up mapping software to transform the trading partner's format to the PeopleSoft format. For a definition of PeopleSoft's business document file format, obtain the file layout for the EDI transaction.
For information about obtaining the file layouts, see Obtaining File Layouts, which appears later in this document. You must set up and activate nodes, service operations, handlers and routings before you can begin processing inbound transactions. For inbound transactions using flat files you need the default local node only. Unless you are changing the local node, no additional node setup is required.
If for auditing purposes you wish to differentiate the node from which transactions are received, you may do so by creating a node definition and inbound file rule for each external trading partner or VAN you plan to integrate with, and specifying the sender node name on each inbound file rule. OnNotify Service Operation Handlers are subscription processes that are automatically executed by Integration Broker when an inbound asynchronous transaction is received.
PeopleSoft provides OnNotify Handlers on each asynchronous service operation that supports inbound integration. Service Operation Routings define the sending and receiving nodes for an integration, the external name of the integration, and optionally specify inbound and outbound transformations to be invoked on each transaction. The sender node on inbound routings can be specified as "ANY" node allowing transactions to be received from any valid node. For integrations using the PeopleSoft flat-file format, the Enterprise Components Inbound File Publish process uses an inbound file rule to identify information about the source file.
If you are processing one of these transactions, then enter the file name on the file rule and activate the file rule. For integrations using the X. Each sample inbound EDI transaction has been delivered with a sample inbound file loader rule. After you run the Inbound File Publish process, run the appropriate application process to validate and load the transactions. If trading partner does not accept data in a PeopleSoft business document file format, set up mapping software to transform the PeopleSoft format to the trading partner's format.
For a definition of a PeopleSoft business document file format, obtain the file layout for the EDI transaction. You must set up nodes and activate service operations, handlers and routings before you can begin processing inbound transactions. For each external trading partner or VAN you plan to integrate with, a node definition must be set up and activated. OnRoute Service Operation Handlers are processes that are automatically executed by Integration Broker when an outbound transaction is published.
PeopleSoft provides OnRoute Handlers on each asynchronous service operation that supports chunking. For each trading partner or VAN you will be sending data to from PeopleSoft, an outbound routing must be activated. The Publish Outbound Message process uses the batch publish rules to identify information about the transaction being published. Batch publish rules have been prepackaged to work with each outbound transaction that is initiated using the Publish Outbound Message process. You must activate these rules and set the intended output format flat file before you can use them.
When using an output format of flat file PeopleSoft format on the batch publish rule, the data is never sent to the Integration Broker—the output goes directly to a flat file. Consequently, the node, queue and routings do not need to be set up for outbound transactions published from the Publish Outbound Message process that are going to flat files using the PeopleSoft format.
However, you must activate the service operation, as the system performs validations to prevent unexpected transactions from being generated. In all other scenarios, the output format should be set to message. Batch Publish Rules optionally use a feature called chunking, which enables you to break up data based on unique field values within it. For example, if you were sending purchase orders directly to a trading partner without going through a middleware system VAN , you must ensure that only that Vendor's data is included on the transactions sent to that trading partner.
If you were not using chunking, and you had separate nodes set up for each of your trading partners, then every transaction would go to every trading partner. Chunking provides a mechanism to ensure that transactions contain only information for a single trading partner and enables them to be routed to the node of that trading partner. When using a single middleware product VAN , you use a single node to identify that product's destination URL; in this scenario, chunking is not required.
In this case, all trading partner transactions can be sent together as the segregation and routing by trading partner is performed in the middleware product. Refer to the table in the Reviewing PeopleSoft Supported EDI Transactions section for information on where to find the documentation explaining the application specific information for each EDI transaction. Configure the Integration Gateway and identify the connector to use when communicating between gateways.
If you use one of the industry standard connectors compatible with Integration Broker, then transactions may be sent directly from the source site's gateway to the PeopleSoft Integration Broker Gateway. If a compatible connector is not available, you can develop a custom connector, or complete communications using a middleware vendor that provides this connector.
