Integration Broker on psLens

Nodes

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Nodes are the network endpoints of the PeopleSoft Integration Broker. Each external system, partner database, or other PeopleSoft environment that sends or receives messages is represented as a node (PSMSGNODEDEFN). The node carries connection settings (connector type, target URL, authentication mode) and is the unit referenced by every routing rule. psLens shows the node configuration, every routing that involves this node, the service operations granted to its default user, and an inventory of URI text configured against it.

Services

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A Service is the high-level container in the Integration Broker hierarchy: a logical grouping of related Service Operations (PSSERVICEDEFN). For example, a STUDENT_ENROLLMENT service might contain GET_ENROLLMENT, ADD_ENROLLMENT, and DROP_ENROLLMENT operations. The service itself carries metadata (description, owner, WSDL namespace) and acts as the access point for browsing operations together.

Service Operations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A Service Operation is the actual message-exchange contract — the unit that defines what message type is sent, in which direction (async or sync), through which routings, and handled by which PeopleCode. Each operation belongs to a service and is stored in PSOPERATION with related metadata in PSOPRDESC, PSOPRROUTING, PSOPRHANDLER, and the security tables. psLens consolidates the full operation — versions, routings, handlers, caller nodes, security access from three angles, and live IB transaction history — into one page.

Application Services

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

An Application Service is an Application Services Framework (ASF) definition, stored in PSIBAPPLDEFN. It exposes a REST API backed by application classes, without the hand-built service operations that classic Integration Broker requires. psLens consolidates the service’s operations, URI templates and REST methods, method parameters, result-state-to-HTTP-status mappings, header properties, and security grants onto one page.

Messages

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A Message definition is the payload schema that a Service Operation carries. It defines the structure of the XML or JSON document exchanged between systems. Messages can be rowset-based (mapped to PeopleSoft records), nonrowset-based (free-form XML/JSON), container, or document. psLens reads PSMSGDEFN and the version-specific details from PSMSGSCHEMA, then surfaces the service operations that reference each message and the projects that own them.

Queues

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A Queue is an Integration Broker ordering construct. Async service operations attached to the same queue process serially in the order they arrived, while operations on different queues can run in parallel. Queues are also the unit where IB pauses (“Pause” status) when an administrator stops message processing for maintenance. Each queue is stored in PSQUEUEDEFN with a status (Run, Pause) and a partitioning configuration.
