Report Notification through Instant Messaging for PeopleTools 8.4x

Description

This project integrates instant messaging with PeopleSoft using XMPP (the standard used by both Oracle Beehive and GoogleTalk?). When a report has been published to the report repository, our code subscribes to the report create message and then sends an instant message to all recipients of that output.

It can be used for the following:

• Solving limitations in the run to window functionality delivered in PeopleSoft
  • Allowing organizations to get notified when they didn't run a report, but still receive it.
  • Allowing users to be notified from scoped nVision reports and XML Publisher reports.
  • Allowing users to be notified from output generated with process scheduler jobs.
• Allowing organizations who do not deploy the REN Server to have report notification.

The initial prototype code (first revisions) of this project can also be used as the basis for putting instant messaging integration to other areas of PeopleSoft.
