In order for Coursedog to integrate with your institution’s PeopleSoft SIS, your institution’s ITS team must first install and configure the necessary grants and packages to allow Coursedog to do so. This document describes the technical installation steps for Coursedog’s integration with PeopleSoft Campus Solutions APIs.

Coursedog uses standard PeopleSoft Service Operations (aka Web Services) via its built in Integration Broker functionality to read data. All data is exchanged over HTTPS. No other connection methods are required, and no direct access to the institution’s database is necessary.
During this installation process, Coursedog delivers several independent PeopleSoft service operations and their associated PeopleSoft objects. There is a listing of objects included in this document. These are all new objects that are stand-alone: Coursedog does NOT modify standard PeopleSoft objects or components or institution-specific customizations, to ensure there is no impact on your standard production patching and upgrades.
At a high level, the install process is 5 steps.
If performing a package upgrade, please see the Coursedog Peoplesoft Package Upgrade Guide
<aside> ❗ Coursedog recommends and requires that a non-production database be used for initial installation purposes that will be used for testing and validation purposes before installing on your production PeopleSoft database instance.
