What’s Changing?
• Estimating and Bidding
• Paper -> Hard Dollar
• Project Costing
• PeopleSoft 8.4 -> PeopleSoft 9.1
• Contracts
• Accounts Receivable
• Billing
• Service Receipts
• Paper -> PeopleSoft 9.1 e-SD and Tablets d-SD
• Inventory
• Excel/Peachtree/Other -> PeopleSoft 9.1

15
Hard Dollar – Main Topics
 Provides an estimate/proposal that also gives
costs/margins.
 Greatly streamlines the approval process.
 Contract/resource rates are loaded into the system.
 Each estimate is also a template.
 Can be exported into Excel for use in actual proposal.
 Generates very beneficial reports.
 Can be utilized with Microsoft Project or Primavera to
develop schedules.

16
PeopleSoft – Main Topics
 Project Costing.
 Visibility into Project at Project, Program, or Contract level
 Issue Tracking
 Billing/Accounts Receivable.
 Ability to bill milestones on a date basis; allowing for
automated billing worksheet generation (shared with
Contracts)
 Ability to view/print Pro-Forma
 Inventory.
 Automatic creation of Material Stock Request through e-SD
integration
 Increase inventory accuracy through counting events

17
Electronic Source Document (e-SD)
 Business Process Change
 System generated eSD and dSD’s Vs. blank SR’s
 Only contract specific L.E.M. available on eSD and dSD
 Connected, Disconnected, and Dispatch versions
 Scalable from day to day to T/A’s and Outages activities
 Integration of internal and external customizable KPI’s for PMT
reporting
 Benefits
 Better planning of resources and equipment
 Less tracking down of open SRs
 More timely billing to our customers
 Reduce our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
 Improve our Revenue Recognition and Reporting

18
The Case for SOA
 SOA as a Veolia Integration Solution
 Integration with multiple sources/protocols
 Desire for single, composite application “look and feel” from
multiple system integration
 SOA as a Phoenix Solution
 Because it was there!
 Avoid additional PrimaVera application
 Use existing PeopleSoft Project functionality
 Provide Hard Dollar to PeopleSoft interface

19
Infrastructure
 4 Environments
 Development, Test, UAT, and Production
 Single Node
 Oracle Linux on Oracle VM
 Oracle 11g RAC Database
 Build Server
 Subversion
 Hudson

21
Use Cases
 Integration with Hard Dollar
 Hard Dollar Bid  PeopleSoft Contract and Project
 Creates Project and Activities
 Stages Budget Details
 Creates Contract Header and Rates
 Command & Control links activities and rates to
contract
 Reduces time to create PeopleSoft Contract
 PeopleSoft Customers  Hard Dollar Address Book
 PeopleSoft Contract Rates  Hard Dollar Library
 Enables bids to be generated from existing
contracts
 Reduces time to complete estimate

22
Integration Design Goals
 Consistency
 Flexible
 Standards-Based
 Best Practice Integration with PeopleSoft
 Reusable Services

23
Methodology
 Loosely Based off Oracle AIA Methodology
 Broken down into the following types of services:
Enterprise Business Services (EBS)
Application Business Connector Services (ABCS)
Enterprise Business Flows (EBF)
Enterprise Business Objects

24
Enterprise Business Services
 Well Defined Interfaces
 CRUD Operations
Create
Read
Update
Delete

25
Application Business Connector Services
 Application Extensions for PeopleSoft & Hard Dollar
 BPEL-Based Services
 Transformations, Security, Validations
 Error Handling

26
Enterprise Business Flows
 Implement business activity
 String activities together from application(s)
 No human intervention needed
 Used in project bid from Hard Dollar to PeopleSoft

27
Enterprise Business Objects
 Canonical Models
 Leveraged OAGIS
 XML schemas
 ERP, Supply Chain and etc.
 Custom Enterprise Business Objects
 Contracts, Rates

28
Why This Approach?
 Minimize changes, less maintenance
 Flexibility
 Reusable Services
 Not only for business services
 But, for services like error handling and notifications

29
Hard Dollar Bid  PeopleSoft Contract
/ Project
 Field Agent Finalized Bid
 Web Service call to SOA
 Complex Hard Dollar schema
 Front-end processing
 6 Enterprise Business Services
 Enterprise Business Flow
 Combination of sync & async services
 Key Issues:
 Hard Dollar application did NO validation
 Duplicate bids

30
PeopleSoft Customers  Hard Dollar
Address Book
 Event Table
 Triggers on key customer tables
 DB adapter to poll event table
 Retrieved customer number
 PeopleSoft Integration
 Retrieved customer details
 Processed back to Hard Dollar via Web Services
 Activated/Inactivated Customers
 Updated Customer Info & Address Information

31
PeopleSoft Contract Rates  Hard
Dollar Library
 PeopleSoft App Engine
 Queried Component Interfaces to get changes
 HTTP Post call to SOA
 SOA
 Front-end service retrieved using HTTP Post adapter
 Very large data sets
 Complex XSLT
 Key Issues:
 Hard Dollar is single threaded application
 Throttling was neccessary

32
Throttling
 Hard Dollar was single-threaded application
 Needed to throttle because changes came in batches
 Create singleton BPEL process
 Read off JMS Queue
 Once finished, picked up next message
 Wasn’t ideal, but worked!

33
Integration Points
 PeopleSoft
 Integration Broker
 Web Services
 HTTP Post
 Hard Dollar
 .NET Web Services

34
Message Handling
 Included:
 Fault Handling
 Success Messages
 Event Delivery Network (EDN)
 Java Customizations
 Email Notifications

35
Security
 Oracle Web Services Manager
 WS-Security: UsernameToken
 All services used WS-Security
 PeopleSoft Security
 User ID: VZ_SOA_USER
 Role: VZ_SOA_PC
 Permission List: VZ_SOA_PC

36
Testing
 Resources:
 SOAPUI
 Fusion Middleware Control
 End-user testing with Applications

37
PeopleSoft Integration
 Use Existing Services/CIs When Available
 Create CI Based Services When Necessary
 Avoid Direct Database Interaction
 Component Interfaces:
 Web Services:
PROJECT_ACTIVITY
PROJECT_GENERAL
CA_HDR_CI
PROJECT_STATUS1
VZ_PC_RATE
VZ_PC_RATE_CONS
VZ_PC_RATE_INV
VZ_PGM_RESOURCE
CI_PROJECT_ACTIVITY
CI_PROJECT_GENERAL
VZ_CI_CA_HDR_CI
VZ_CI_PROJECT_STATUS1
VZ_CI_VZ_PC_RATE
VZ_CI_VZ_PC_RATE_CONS
VZ_CI_VZ_PC_RATE_INV
VZ_CI_VZ_PGM_RESOURCE

38
PeopleSoft Development Tips
 Validate Service With SOAP UI
 “Common” Error Interpretation
User Password required for Service Operation
CI_PROJECT_GENERAL_C. (158,535)
Set SOAP-UI WSS-Password Type = Password Text
Invalid value -- press the prompt button or hyperlink for a
list of valid values (15,11)
SOA user lacks authorization for action/values
Note: System defaults to application server User ID with related
Permission List/Business Unit security.
Row already exists with the specified keys
May be differences between online & CI behavior.
May need to explicitly code some values.

39
 Project Management
 Test early & often
 Know your data!
 Understand your environment
 Large data sets
 Resource Limitations
 Requirements not met
 Sell of part of company

40
Final Rumblings
 Deployment Architecture
 Other things to consider:
 Automation
 System Administration
 Project Postponed
