This section describes the software components you must install and the tasks you must perform before installing and running the connector.
You must create a user account in PeopleSoft for the connector. The user account can have any valid PeopleSoft username and password. It must have privileges to retrieve, insert, update and delete data from the appropriate application panels and the cw event panel in the PeopleSoft system. For example, if the connector handles customer data, the connector's user account must have privileges to access and modify data in all relevant customer panels.
The user account must be configured so that it never times out. Since the connector uses the Message Agent to insert and extract business objects from the PeopleSoft server, the Message Agent must be running when the connector accesses the PeopleSoft system. If the connector times out, the Message Agent closes. As a result, the connector logs an error message every time it accesses the PeopleSoft system -- at every poll, retrieve, create, and update.
To configure the user account so that it never times out:
If you are upgrading from a previous version of the product, the configuration properties in the repository definition file may have changed. See "Configuring the connector".
If you have an earlier version of the connector installed, you must delete the connector and as well as its customized components in the PeopleSoft environment. This includes all supporting menus, panels, records, event and archive tables, and the IBM WebSphere business integration adaptor business process.
