Configuring the PeopleSoft Adapter

Overview

To run and monitor a PeopleSoft job from CWA, you must create a CWA job definition for it. The job or processes may 
already exist within PeopleSoft. 

CWA then controls the PeopleSoft job in the CWA environment, first making sure that all of the job’s dependencies have 
been met. Once the job clears CWA’s queues, it queues a request in the PeopleSoft process request tables.

The PeopleSoft Process Scheduler runs the requested process and CWA monitors its progress. Operators can control 
the job and, when the job is complete, view the job output from the CWA 

pane.

The PeopleSoft Adapter software is installed as part of a standard installation of CWA.

However, before the PeopleSoft Adapter can be used, the following configuration procedures must be completed:

All of these procedures are described in this chapter.

See

control things like logging and connection properties. 

Configuring the Adapter

For the Windows master, ensure that the CWA master service logs on as a specific user account. The master 

should not log on as a local system.

Create a security policy to assign to the users that will schedule PeopleSoft jobs. You may want to create different 
security policies to differentiate between users who just run PeopleSoft jobs versus users who can run and edit 
PeopleSoft jobs. You could also just add the security functions to the existing policies for each user as needed. Refer
