SWS Configuration

The easiest and most secure way to expose your PeopleSoft data is by using SWS configured web services. This method gives the PeopleSoft admin control over what data is exposed to third parties and is a more secure model for most use cases.

• A PeopleSoft power user:
  • Configures a new SWS configuration with either SQL or PsoftQL Syntax.
  • Defines parameters and filters
  • Grants security
  • Gives URL and Basic Auth Code to the integration partner

The integration partner ends up calling the IB Service CHG_SWS (the URL prefix), handled by the Service Operation CHG_SWS_GET. That one service operation checks security, resolves parameters, executes the SQL, encodes the data, and returns it to the user — every SWS-configured path is served by the same handler.
