Set Up the PeopleSoft Connector

The Oracle PeopleSoft connector uses the PeopleSoft API to access the PeopleSoft, and it requires psjoa.jar. Before you use the connector, create a bundle that contains this JAR, and then add the bundle to the connector.

There is a different version of psjoa.jar for each version of PeopleTools, and the versions are not backward-compatible. Make sure that you use the correct version.

For this reason, use a different CA IAM Connector Server installation for each PeopleTools version that you plan to manage. For example, a set of PeopleSoft installation with PeopleTools 8.48 can be managed by one CA IAM Connector Server installation and a set of PeopleSoft installations with PeopleTools 8.49 is managed by another CA IAM Connector Server installation. You can route each endpoint to the correct CA IAM Connector Server installation using Connector Xpress.

Before you use the connector, create a bundle that contains psjoa.jar, and then add the bundle to the connector.

Follow these steps:

1. Install or upgrade CA IAM Connector Server.

   The installation registers CA IAM Connector Server with the provisioning server, creates the PeopleSoft endpoint, and populates it with its associated metadata.

2. Ask the PeopleSoft administrator to send you a copy of psjoa.jar, which is in the following location:

   peoplesoft-home/web/psjoa/
   

3. Save psjoa.jar locally, and copy the compintfc.jar you generated previously into the same location.
4. Run the pps_post_install script in the following location:

   cs-home/bin

   The script asks for the location of the third-party library. It then creates a bundle and moves it to the right location.

5. Log in to CA IAM Connector Server.
6. At the top, click the Connector Servers tab.
7. In the Connector Server Management area, click the Bundles tab.
8. Add the new bundle:

   Note: You can deploy the OSGI bundle from the connector server GUI or copy the jar files to ca-home/jcs/data/bundles/restore. Then restart the connector server and wait up to ten minutes for it to load.

   1. In the Bundles area on the right, click Add.
   2. Browse to the bundle that the script created, then select the connector server on which this connector will be available.
   3. Click OK.

      The new bundle appears in the Bundles list.

9. Find the main connector bundle in the Bundles list, then right-click its name in the list and select Refresh Imports from the popup menu.

The Peoplesoft connector is now ready to be used.
