Here is just a quick post to let you know that I have added a few more tables to the PeopleTools Tables page:
These tables are related to HTML definitions. I was using them to check to make sure that I have all of the HTML definitions that I have created in my project.
Here is a link to the page:
Here is just a quick reminder about security being important and about being trustworthy with your privileges:
InfoWorld: Two charged with hacking PeopleSoft to fix grades
In looking through PeopleBooks, the portal API objects seemed a little sparse for examples. So, here is a quick example that might help others. The example opens a folder and prints some information about the folder.
Step 1: WEBLIB_ record
You must put your PeopleCode on a record that begins with “WEBLIB_”. You can either create one or add onto an existing record that meets that naming convention.
Step 2: Create the PeopleCode Function
The function name should start with “IScript_”.
%Response
You can use the %Response to create the output HTML, XML, or other format. The Write function is the main function that you will use:
%Response.Write("<b>Hello, World</b>");
%Request
You can use the %Request object to read parameters that were sent to the script. For example, if the URL had “?EMPLID=00001” at the end of it, you could use the following PeopleCode to read it:
&emplid = %Request.GetParameter("EMPLID");
Step 3: Security
You must grant security to your IScript before you can view it. This is done on the Permission List just like the security for a regular page.
Nagivation to the Permission Online:
PeopleTools > Security > Permissions & Roles > Permission Lists
Go to the WebLibraries page/tab.
On that page, you will need to enter the record name of the script. Then, click on the Edit link to choose the specific IScript that you wish to grant access.
Step 4: Determine the URL
The URL for a component looks something like this:
… /c/MenuName.ComponentName.Market
The URL for an IScript looks something like this:
… /s/RecordName.FieldName.Event.FunctionName
See PeopleBooks for more information.
Step 5: Register Your IScript
If an end-user should access the IScript, you need to put a content reference in the menu for easy access. You can do so, by registering your script through the registration wizard. If you just intend to access the script via code, you don’t need to do this step.
When you open a record that begins with “WEBLIB_”, you will notice a new button on the toolbar for the registration wizard. Just click that button and follow the steps.
See PeopleBooks for more information.
