What is PeopleSoft T-Rex?

PeopleSoft T-Rex is an installable web service client program which queries PeopleSoft transfer rules database tables and sends the data to Transferology once a week via Transferology web services.

Once the data has been received by Transferology, it will be transformed into Transferology's transfer rule representation and loaded into Transferology later that night.

T-Rex removes the need for PeopleSoft schools to provide transfer rule flat file import process.

The PeopleSoft (PS) T-Rex web service client is a java program which is provided as a downloadable zip file which contains the following:

java libraries
A linux shell script and Windows batch file to call the java program
An extractor.properties file for configuration
Install instructions

School Requirements

PS T-Rex client is installed on a server at your school, however it isn't installed into PeopleSoft.

The server must have java 1.7 or 1.8.
Your school's firewall must allow the server to open an https connection to the Transferology web service.
- TEST Transferology web service - www.transfer.org (206.251.246.212)
- PROD Transferology web service - test.transfer.org (216.68.115.164)
The database user must have select privilege on several PS database tables.
If necessary, database synonyms, when the chosen database user isn’t the owning schema of the PS database tables.
Schedule PS T-Rex to run once a week. It is an individual school decision regarding what to use for the scheduling. We anticipate schools choosing their preferred scheduler such as cron or FireDaemon.
