How To Create and Load Custom Target Connectors

To create a custom connector please refer to

1. Peoplebooks: PeopleSoft Integration Broker > Using the Integration Broker Connector SDK

2. Review the information in the " SDK API Documentation The PeopleSoft Integration Broker Connector SDK" which includes API documentation in HTML format.

The documentation lists and describes Java packages that you can use to develop custom connectors and includes information about package classes, inner classes, interfaces, constructors, methods, and fields.

Access the Connector API documentation in the connector SDK directory, PS_HOME\webserv\\applications\peoplesoft\PSIGW\SDK\docs\SDK\index.html.

3. Within the same directory PS_HOME\webserv\\applications\peoplesoft\PSIGW\SDK\docs\SDK there is ReadMe.txt that provides additional information when using WebLogic and the Class files needed as well as how to compile the java files.
When compiling the java file, use the Java files on the web server and use the correct version of Java.

 

Tools	Release Java Version
8.45	1.1
8.46	1.2
8.47	1.3
8.48	1.4
8.49	1.5
8.50	1.6

 

4. Once the java files are complied, then you need to copy the class files into the directory:
under your \webserv\\applications\peoplesoft\PSIGW\WEB-INF\classes\com\peoplesoft\pt\integrationgateway\targetconnector

5. To load the target connectors onto the gateway
5.1. Via introspection (Load Connectors push button):
Building Introspection into Target Connectors :
PeopleSoft Integration Broker can introspect (query) the capabilities of target connectors that are installed on a local or remote integration gateway by using introspection. Load all target connectors that are delivered with PeopleSoft Integration Broker by clicking the Load button on the Connectors page in the Gateways component.

You can build introspection into custom-built connectors. When you do so, you can load the connector and its properties with the click of a button.

For the introspection process to gather information about a custom target connector, you must implement the IntrospectConnector method. (Review Peoplebooks and the API information for the use of this method.)

5.2 Manually.
From the gateway page (Peopletools>Integration Broker>Gateways) insert a row and insert the target connector name and description.
