Configuring the PeopleSoft Adapter

Defining a PeopleSoft Connection

Click the 

 tab.

This tab allows for the configuration of special web signon settings, polling interval and other configuration 
parameters. See 

 for a list of available parameters.

In the 

field, select the number of seconds between each poll of the PeopleSoft database for status 

changes. 

Polling is the method by which statuses of jobs are tracked and events are monitored. Reduce this value to make 
PeopleSoft adapter more responsive at the cost of higher performance overhead.

To edit parameters, in the 

field, highlight a parameter and click 

 to display the 

 dialog.

In the 

 field, enter the new parameter value.

Click 

 to return to the 

 tab.

Click 

to save your changes and close the 

dialog.

Verifying PeopleSoft Connection Status 

If the PeopleSoft connection is not available to the master, the connection status light in the first column of the display is 
red. Note that this light is relative to the status of the connection from the CWA master.

Once you have defined your PeopleSoft connection(s), CWA master continually monitors:



Database connection

Network problems and other physical factors can affect the database connection.



 table to check if server is active

This flag can be either 

 or 

. 

 status does not necessarily indicate an error condition, but 

PeopleSoft jobs will not execute while the server is 

, and a the light will be red.
