Oracle Fusion Middleware for PeopleSoft

Welcome! In this blog we will bring together experts from both PeopleSoft and Fusion Middleware to help you understand how to enhance and extend PeopleSoft applications using Fusion Middleware today. Togethor with the Fusion Middleware Best Practice Center for Peoplesoft this blog will help you to service-enable PeopleSoft Component Interfaces, Application Messages (using Integration Broker) and then build integrations, business processes and composite applications using Fusion Middleware components such as BPEL, ESB, BAM, ADF, and WebCenter.
For information on the vision for the Best Practice Centers, check out the AppCast hosted by Cliff Godwin SVP Application Development, Oracle

As we are all running around for OpenWorld this week, just wanted to take the opportunity to share with you some of the highlights to book into your OpenWorld schedule from a Fusion Middleware/Peoplesoft perspective.

We look forward to meeting you in person at one of the sessions, or stop by the Fusion Middleware for Oracle Applications Demo Pod in the Exhibition Hall.

For those of you that couldn't join us this week for the Webcast "Consuming PeopleSoft Pages using WSRP in WebCenter", the replay is now available on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Best Practice Center for PeopleSoft.

You can access the slides and replays from here. The Conference Key is "Oracle".

For those of you that couldn't make it to OpenWorld we have published some of the papers most relevant to using Oracle Fusion Middleware with PeopleSoft:

S298507: Electronic Invoice Processing with PeopleSoft Financials, Imaging and Workflow

S299076: PeopleTools Security

S299097: Using Oracle SOA Suite and BPEL to Integrate and Extend PeopleSoft Financials

S299249: PeopleSoft with ECM - An Integrated Solution for Higher Ed

S299693: Oracle AIA for PeopleSoft

We hope you find these useful.

We illustrate the progression of a business process from the initial modeling to the eventual creation of the executable software using Oracle BPA Suite, Oracle SOA Suite and PeopleSoft HCM.

Oracle BPA Suite provides a standards based approach for the modeling, analysis and simulation of business processes. Sharing these process models with the development team is as easy as clicking a button that reads “Share Blueprint with IT” which then exports the process metadata to the Oracle SOA Suite (Oracle BPEL PM, Oracle JDeveloper). The development team integrates the resulting BPEL model with the backend PeopleSoft HCM to create the executable software.

In this tutorial, we show how to implement native web services integration to PeopleSoft HCM from Oracle SOA Suite 11gR1.

There are several new features in Fusion Middleware 11g that enable the creation of Service Oriented Architectures with PeopleSoft applications and to develop business processes and composite applications using the relevant Fusion Middleware technology.

New features include:

• Simplified development experience via support for Service Component Architecture and the SOA Composite Editor (JDeveloper)
• Enhanced human workflow offers new JSF based rich client framework, ADF task flow forms and integration with Microsoft Office
• WebCenter Spaces to facilitate efficient interaction and collaboration among project teams
• Unified management and monitoring capability, including end-to-end instance tracking across all service engines
• Automated upgrade path from 10g
• Robust performance and scalability via the underlying WebLogic Application Server infrastructure

While a detailed discussion (or the list) of the new features is outside the scope of this discussion, this whitepaper talks about "What's new in Oracle SOA Suite 11g".
