A flow or Java service, typically invoked by an Integration Server client, initiates the Find service on the Integration Server.

You configure the Find service, and the wrapping flow or Java service, using Designer.

2

The Find service retrieves a connection from the service's associated connection pool.

You configure and enable the adapter connection using the Integration Server Administrator. For more information about connection pooling, including the run-time behavior of connection pools, see Connection Pooling.

The Find service uses the PeopleSoft component interface Java APIs along with PeopleSoft libraries (which you installed in the Integration Server in Setting Up Your Adapter's Environment) to connect to the PeopleSoft system, validate the service's input key fields (collection), and identify the records to retrieve. The service's input signature includes CI key fields that the service uses to identify the records to retrieve.

You define the Find service's input signature when you create the service. Fields that you select on the Key Fields tab in the adapter service template become the service's input signature.

4

The component interface returns a set of find keys for zero or more parent-level CI records that match the criteria specified in the Find service's input signature. The service returns the data to the Integration Server pipeline in the form of a document list (IData object).

You define the Find service's output signature when you create the service. Fields that you select on the Output Fields tab in the adapter service template become the service's output signature.
