What It Is

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.

Node search results for PSFT% showing PSFT_CR, PSFT_CS, PSFT_E1, and other delivered nodes

Node search results for PSFT%

Wildcard % search supported. Each card shows the node type (Local, External, Hub), the node’s active flag, the default user ID, and the descriptive name. Enough at a glance to spot inactive nodes or nodes pointing at unexpected user accounts.

The main pane shows Node Properties: node type, connector ID, default user, authentication option, password-set indicator, contact, and audit metadata. The password-set indicator is the security view: a node with authentication required but no password set is a flag worth investigating (see the Nodes with No Password report). The sidebar has 4 related-data toggles.

Routings

Routings panel for the node

Every routing rule that involves this node (sender or receiver)

Every routing rule (PSIBRTNGDEFN) where this node appears as sender or receiver, with the service operation, direction, and status. Lists the message traffic that flows through this node.

User’s Service Operations

User's Service Operations panel

Service operations the node’s default user has permission to invoke

The service operations the node’s default user has been granted permission to invoke. Important for security audits, since a node’s default user can be granted service operations that the human OPRID would never get.

URI Text

URI Text panel

URI text entries configured against the node

The URI text entries configured against the node (PSIBNODEURITEXT). The per-node URL fragments used in REST-style integrations.

What This Consolidates

In PIA:

  • Open PeopleTools → Integration Broker → Integration Setup → Nodes to see properties
  • Click each tab (Connectors, Portal, WS Security, Routings, Properties) one at a time
  • Search Service Operations → Permissions separately to find which operations the node user can call
  • Browse Routing Definitions separately to find traffic that involves the node

psLens lets you confirm a node’s security posture and traffic footprint on one page. Useful when reviewing integration configurations or investigating a failing endpoint.
