What is the BusinessObjects XI
Integration for PeopleSoft?
The BusinessObjects XI Integration for PeopleSoft allows you to combine
the functionality of Crystal Reports and BusinessObjects Enterprise to extract,
report, and distribute data from your PeopleSoft system.
Who should use this guide?
This guide shows you how to configure the components that enable Crystal
Reports and BusinessObjects Enterprise to work with your PeopleSoft system
after you have installed the BusinessObjects XI Integration for PeopleSoft .
This guide is intended primarily for administrators.
After configuration, you can use your PeopleSoft credentials to logon to
BusinessObjects Enterprise and report on your PeopleSoft data.
What's New
The BusinessObjects XI Integration for PeopleSoft offers the following new
and enhanced functionality for an improved overall user experience. With
enhanced integration with and ease of access to BusinessObjects InfoView
and Central Management Console (CMC) users can now:
• Seamlessly log on with Single Sign-On (SSO) to take advantage of
BusinessObjects capabilities and workflows from within the PeopleSoft
web portal.
• Use SSO to view and schedule PeopleSoft reports in BusinessObjects
InfoView and CMC without being prompted for their PeopleSoft credentials.
• Use Preferred Viewing Language (PVL) to display PeopleSoft metadata
and business data (for PeopleTools 8.21 - 8.45)
• A completely new interface to the full documentation set now has guides
for all Business Objects products. The new online documentation library
has the most up-to-date version of the Business Objects product
documentation, posted upon publication and updated regularly. You can
browse the library contents, run full-text searches, read guides on line,
and download PDFs. http://support.businessobjects.com/documenta

Data Connectivity
The Data Connectivity feature of the integration kit includes the Native Driver
for PeopleSoft, a Unicode-compliant driver that allows you to report off
PeopleSoft data.
The driver allows you to connect to PeopleSoft queries from within Crystal
Reports. It also enables BusinessObjects Enterprise to run reports against
data from your PeopleSoft system. The driver honors any query-level and
row-level security that has been defined for the queries and supports features
such as parameters and translation tables.
Requirements
To enable the Data Connectivity feature, your system must have the following
components already deployed:

Security Connectivity
The Security Connectivity feature of the integration kit includes the PeopleSoft
Security Plug-in. This component allows PeopleSoft users to use their
PeopleSoft credentials to log on to BusinessObjects Enterprise.
The PeopleSoft Security Plug-in offers several benefits:

(CMS) to verify user credentials against a PeopleSoft system.
• It enables you to map PeopleSoft roles to groups in BusinessObjects
Enterprise.
• It allows you to assign rights to users and groups in a consistent manner
within BusinessObjects Enterprise.
Along with this component, the integration kit provides a web application that
you can use to configure the settings of the Security Connectivity feature.
This application is displayed as an additional tab within the Central
Management Console (CMC) in BusinessObjects Enterprise. For more
information about the web application, see Working with BusinessObjects
Enterprise on page 99.

Overview
Overview
Crystal Reports is the program that you use to create and format Crystal
reports, and BusinessObjects Enterprise is the multi-tier system that allows
you to distribute these reports over the Web in a secure and managed
environment. The BusinessObjects XI Integration for PeopleSoft provides
components that enable you to combine the functionality of Crystal Reports
and BusinessObjects Enterprise to work with your PeopleSoft system.
This chapter provides information about installing the BusinessObjects XI
Integration for PeopleSoft on a PeopleSoft Enterprise (PeopleTools 8.46-8.49)
environment. For information about installing in other environments, see the
following chapters:
•
Installing on PeopleSoft Enterprise: PeopleTools 8.21-8.45 on page 23
•

Creating the Component Interfaces
Both the Data Connectivity feature and the Security Connectivity feature of
the integration kit communicate with PeopleSoft through Component
Interfaces. In the PeopleTools Application Designer, you must create a new
project and three Component Interfaces.
Note: The procedures that are described in this section require a high level
of familiarity with administrative tasks in PeopleSoft and the PeopleTools
Application Designer. For more information about the PeopleTools Application
Designer, consult your PeopleSoft documentation.
