Our Integration Kit for PeopleSoft depends on certain configuration setups within the PeopleSoft environment. However, the Business Objects documentation does not cover how these configurations should be done. It assumes that the PeopleSoft administrator has already taken the necessary steps.
We are finding, however, as customers call into our Tech Support with connection to PeopleSoft issues, that the PeopleSoft community is not always aware of the PeopleSoft documentation that already exists.
An important point here is the Integration Kit for PeopleSoft is based off technology developed for the Crystal Reports/BusinessObjects Enterprise OEM that comes bundled with PeopleSoft Tools (CR/Crystal Enterprise for 8.46 and 8.47). This means that PeopleSoft documentation for configuring PeopleSoft to support the OEM integration will apply to configuring PeopleSoft to support the Integration Kit for PeopleSoft. The key point of integration is the Query Access Service (QAS). If this is set up correctly, the native driver and the security plug-in available in the Integration Kit for PeopleSoft should connect without any issues.
The most important piece of documentation is available directly from OTN. It's part of the PeopleTools PeopleBook series and is entitled "Crystal Reports for PeopleSoft". Here is a direct link to the PeopleSoft 8.48 version: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31274_01/psft/acrobat/pt848cyr-b0606.pdfhttp://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31274_01/psft/acrobat/pt848cyr-b0606.pdf">http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31274_01/psft/acrobat/pt848cyr-b0606.pdf>. Chapters 3 and 4 are especially instructive.
