Integration Broker

Integration Broker is a middleware technology that performs

1.Sychronous and Asynchronous messaging among internal systems and third party
systems.

2. Exposes PeopleSoft business logic as web services to PeopleSoft and third-party systems.

PeopleSoft Integration Broker consists of two subsystems

1. Integration gateway - Resides inside webserver
2.Integration engine - Resides on Application server

Integration Gateway
The integration gateway is a platform that manages the receipt and delivery of messages passed among systems
through PeopleSoft Integration Broker.
Integration Engine
The integration engine runs on the PeopleSoft application server. Rather than communicating directly with other
applications, the integration engine sends and receives messages through one or more separately installed
integration gateways

COMMON TERMINOLOGIES IN IB
Gateway: Pathway between the systems
Domain: Refers to the Peoplesoft App server tuxedo domain for pub/sub servives
Nodes : Defines a message belongs to which application
Messages: Define the structure of xml sent between nodes
Queues: to manage and group messages so that all messages are sent through the
multiple pipes. Queues are used for administration of integration broker to avoid stopping
everything when something is wrong
Routings:
Linking service operations to the node.

Handlers:
Contain code and logic for sending/receiving/manipulating messages.

Service Handlers:
Bring together messages, queues, handlers and routings. They essentially define how the
message moves between systems.
