Tutorial: Using the BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise to Write Data to PeopleSoft Enterprise

  • Artikkeli

The BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise can be used to write data to a PeopleSoft System with information received from a trading partner or internal application. This walkthrough describes an SDK sample that illustrates this functionality.

Prerequisites

  • The Java 2 Platform must be installed on the BizTalk Server that the BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise is running on.

  • The PeopleSoft Java Object Adapter JAR file, psjoa.jar should be copied to a folder that is accessible to the BizTalk Server that the BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise is running on.

  • Visual Studio must be installed on the BizTalk Server that the BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise is running on in order to build and deploy the sample.

What This Sample Does

This sample picks up an XML file from a folder, sends the file to an orchestration, and then uses the BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise to create a record in the PeopleSoft system from the data in the XML file.

How This Sample is Designed and Why

This sample was designed in Visual Studio and was created to illustrate basic functionality using the BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise with a BizTalk orchestration.

Where to Find This Sample

The sample is located in the following folder:

\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Adapters for Enterprise Applications\PeopleSoft Enterprise(r)\Sdk\PeopleSoftOneWaySend

The following table shows the files in this sample and describes their purpose.

Runtime Project Filename Runtime Project File Description
OneWaySend.btproj,

OneWaySend.sln		 Project and solution files for the application.
LOCATIONService.xsd,

LOCATIONService_1.xsd,

LOCATIONService_2.xsd		 Schema files for the application. Note: The adapter schema files in the project were originally created using the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard. For more information on the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard see the topic "How to Add Adapter Metadata to a BizTalk Project" in the BizTalk Server documentation.
PeopleSoftOneWaySend.odx The orchestration used by the application.
PeopleSoftOneWaySend.snk The strong naming key file.

Modify the Adapter schema target namespace property

  1. Launch Visual Studio and open OneWaySend.sln. Click File, Open, Project/Solution… to display the Open Project dialog.

  2. Browse to the OneWaySend.sln file, click to select this file and click Open to open the solution that contains the sample project.

  3. Click the View menu and select Solution Explorer to display the Solution Explorer.

  4. Double-click the LOCATIONService_1.xsd file in the Solution Explorer to open it.

  5. Right-click the Schema node of LOCATIONService_1.xsd and select the Properties menu option to display the properties for the schema.

  6. Edit the Target Namespace property to use the appropriate values for the adapter name, for example the Target Namespace property should read as follows:

    http://schemas.microsoft.com/[PeopleSoft://CI/LOCATION]

    Where PeopleSoft is the name of the PeopleSoft adapter as viewed in the BizTalk Administration Console.

    Important

    If the configured value for Target Namespace does not match the namespace specified in the input document instance then a routing failure will occur when the input document instance is processed by BizTalk Server.

Generate a document instance from the Adapter schema

  1. Double-click LOCATIONService_1.xsd in the Solution Explorer to open the file in the Schema Editor.

  2. Right-click the <Schema> node in the Schema Editor, and click Properties to display the properties for the node.

  3. Select CreateEx from the list of available nodes in the Root Reference dropdown box. This should be done so that when you generate a sample document instance it will be generated from the CreateEx node of the schema.

  4. Right-click LOCATIONService_1.xsd in Solution Explorer and click Properties.

  5. In the Properties window, click to select the Output Instance Filename option under the General section.

  6. Click the ellipses button (…) to display the Select Output File dialog.

  7. Specify a folder and name for the output file instance, for example C:\instance.xml and click Save.

    Note

    Do not specify the location of the folder that was specified for the file receive location here.

  8. Right-click LOCATIONService_1.xsd in Solution Explorer and click Generate Instance to generate a document instance in the specified location.

  9. Right-click the <Schema> node in the Schema Editor, and click Properties to display the properties for the node.

  10. Select (Default) from the list of available nodes in the Root Reference dropdown box.

Modify the generated document instance

  1. Open the generated document instance in a text editor such as Notepad and edit the contents of the document instance to ensure that the data in these fields will generate a unique record in the PeopleSoft system, for example the XML file below describes the fields in a record that define a location:

    <ns0:CreateEx xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.microsoft.com/[PeopleSoft://CI/LOCATION]">  
  <ns0:SETID>SHARE</ns0:SETID>  
  <ns0:LOCATION>9991</ns0:LOCATION>  
  <ns0:interactiveMode>true</ns0:interactiveMode>  
   <ns0:properties>  
    <ns0:LOCATION_TBL_sequence>  
      <ns0:LOCATION_TBL>  
        <ns0:COUNTRY>USA</ns0:COUNTRY>  
        <ns0:DESCR>Adapter Test</ns0:DESCR>  
        <ns0:EFFDT>2006-05-31</ns0:EFFDT>  
        <ns0:EFF_STATUS>A</ns0:EFF_STATUS>  
        <ns0:SETID>SHARE</ns0:SETID>  
      </ns0:LOCATION_TBL>  
    </ns0:LOCATION_TBL_sequence>  
  </ns0:properties>  
</ns0:CreateEx>

    Note

    In the example above, PeopleSoft is a placeholder for the actual name of the adapter as viewed in the BizTalk Administration Console.

  2. Save the modified document instance.

Build and deploy the project

  1. Right-click the OneWaySend project in Solution Explorer and click Properties to launch the Project Designer.

  2. Click the Deployment tab.

  3. Enter the appropriate values for the Server property and the Configuration Database property under BizTalk Group.

  4. Right-click the OneWaySend project in Solution Explorer and click Deploy to build the project and deploy the assembly to the BizTalk Server configuration database.

Bind and Enlist the orchestration

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, expand BizTalk Server Administration, expand BizTalk Group, expand Applications, expand BizTalk Application 1, and click Orchestrations.

  2. Click the Refresh button in the MMC toolbar or press the F5 key on your keyboard to refresh the BizTalk Server Administration Console view.

  3. Double-click the orchestration to display the Orchestration Properties dialog.

  4. Click Bindings in the left pane of the dialog to display the Bindings options for the orchestration.

  5. Specify the appropriate values for the binding options, for example:

    Parameter Value
    Host BizTalkServerApplication
    FileReceivePort PeopleSoftOneWayFileRP
    PeopleSoftOneWaySendPort PeopleSoftOneWaySP

  6. Click OK.

Start the orchestration

  • In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, right-click the orchestration and click Start to enlist and start the orchestration.

Drop a document instance into the folder monitored by the file receive location

  • Copy the document instance that was created earlier to the folder that the file receive location is configured to monitor.

Verify that the PeopleSoft system is updated

  • Use the PeopleSoft web interface to verify that the record was created from the data in the XML file.

    The following sequence of events occurs if the document instance is processed successfully:

  1. The File adapter retrieves the file from the folder and publishes it to the MessageBox as a BizTalk message.

  2. The orchestration subscribes to this published message so the BizTalk Messaging Engine will activate an instance of the orchestration and send the message to the orchestration instance.

  3. The orchestration instance processes the message using the logic specified in the orchestration and publishes the message back to the MessageBox.

  4. The PeopleSoft send port subscribes to this published message and so the BizTalk Messaging Engine sends the message to the PeopleSoft send port.

  5. The send port hands the message to the BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise.

  6. The BizTalk Adapter for PeopleSoft Enterprise invokes the CreateEx method to create a record using the data in the XML file.
