Define a Connector
*To define a connector
1. Launch your browser and sign on to PeopleSoft.
2. From the PeopleSoft menu, click PeopleTools > Integration Broker > Node Definitions > Connectors.
3. Verify the Node Name.
4. Select the Gateway ID for the gateway that you configured in Configuring the Integration Gateway.
5. Select HTTPTARGET as the Connector ID.
6. Type the following values in the Properties panel. For detailed field descriptions, see the PeopleSoft documentation.
Field
Action/Description
HEADER
Property Name: sendUncompressed
Required: Enable this option.
Value: Y
Data Type: STRING
Description: A descriptive text entry is optional.
HTTPPROPERTY
Property Name: Method
Required: Enable this option.
Value: POST
Data Type: STRING
Description: A descriptive text entry is optional.
PRIMARYURL
Property Name: URL
Required: Enable this option.
Value: The URL that points to the Integration Server, as follows:
http<s>://IntegrationServer_Host:Port/invoke/
wm.adapter.peoplesoft.outbound.
sample:receiveXML
For example:
http://localhost:5555/invoke/wm.adapter.
peoplesoft.outbound.sample:receiveXML
Data Type: STRING

HEADER
Property Name: Authorization
Required: Enable this option.
Value: The user name and password used as Authorization to start the Integration Server.
Use the following format, along with the encoding flow service listed below, to encode the user name and password:
"Basic" (+ Base64Encode service using username + ":" + password)
To encode the username and password, use the following utility flow service:
wm.adapter.peoplesoft.outbound.utils.encoding
where the input for the encoding service is a string constructed from the username and password, as follows:
"username"+":"+"password"
For example, if the username is "name" and the password is "pwd", the input for the encoding service would be "name:pwd".
The result of encoding flow service for these values would be "bmFtZTpwd2Q". Thus, the value of the Authorization field would be "Basic bmFtZTpwd2Q".
Data Type: Leave this field blank.
Description: A descriptive text entry is optional.
7. Click Save.
8. You can test the node to check if the connection is getting through the gateway. For instructions on how to test the node, see Test the Node.
9. Proceed with defining a transaction or a service operation. For instructions, see Define a Transaction and Define a Service Operation.
