Data descriptions

This section describes inbound and outbound data descriptions.

The data description generated from the PeopleSoft business services and integration objects by the adapter are represented as XML schemas.

There is a top-level business graph generated for every method selected under a business service. A business service contains a complex type, the top-level business object, and the properties for the method arguments. The data type of the arguments can be a string or a complex type. The arguments with the data type, string, become properties of type string in the business object.

A complex type argument is represented by an input or output integration object. The input or output integration is based on the details entered in the process or retrieved from the EIS repository. The adapter automatically generates the business objects for the integration components under these integration objects. The business object hierarchy is created based on the relationship between the integration components, for example, parent or child.

When a business service does not have any arguments for a method, no properties are generated under the top-level business object. The adapter automatically sets the application-specific information at the business object and properties levels.

Note: The template for the application-specific properties for the business object and the property levels is defined in the metadata schema for the PeopleSoft resource adapter. The name of the schema file is PeopleSoftASI.xsd. The generated XML schemas refer to this template.
