Oracle PeopleSoft HCM
Oracle·AE_HSc_PeopleSoftConnectorGuide
Overview
The PeopleSoft connector integrates AlertEnterprise Guardian with Oracle PeopleSoft HCM (Human Capital Management). PeopleSoft is the legacy enterprise HCM platform that competes with SAP HR and Workday in large enterprise (especially federal, state government, and higher education). Despite Oracle's strategic push toward Oracle HCM Cloud, PeopleSoft remains in heavy production at thousands of large institutions.
Architecture: AE → ACF → PeopleSoft Adapter → PeopleSoft PSJOA API → PeopleSoft System. The connector uses PSJOA (PeopleSoft Java Object Adapter) — Oracle's Java client library for talking to PeopleSoft's Component Interfaces. This means the AE connector loads PSJOA classes at runtime and invokes Component Interface methods directly (similar in spirit to SAP JCo / sap-hr).
Architecture
Composed from this connector's actors + edges. Trust zones are color-coded; trust crossings render as thicker lines.
Authentication
1 method supported
Authentication uses a PeopleSoft operator ID + password configured in AE connector System Parameters. The PSJOA library establishes the session.
Prerequisites
Everything that must be in place for this connector to work, with the owner who's responsible.
