Upgrade notes

This table lists the enhancements and fixes in fix pack version 6.0.2.1. Enhancements # CR APAR Title Details There are no enhancements in this fix pack. Fixes # CR APAR Title Details 1 87361 FlatFile endpoint activiation failure when non default NS is used Symptom: If you specify a non-default namespace when performing discovery for example, http://www.ibm.com/customer, then the endpoint won't activate for inbound in FlatFiles adapter Resolution: Any namespace value can be specified during EMD process with the fix. 2 69116 JR26960 Flat file adapter not posting files onto same queue Symptom: When multiple activation specs (with entirely different values for event directory, archive directory, etc.) are configured with FlatFiles adapter, it delivers the event to only one of the end-points. Resolution: The problem has been fixed and delivery of events will be done as per the configuration in the respective activation spec. 3 87894 JR26014 FlatFile throwing NPE during restart Symptom: When the FlatFiles adapter is processing a file with SplitByDelimiter configuration and the adapter is stopped in the middle of processing, and later when the adapter is restarted, it generates a NullPointerException. Resolution: This has been fixed. 4 88684 JR26473 Duplicate event processing when the application is restarted Symptom: During recovery of events in case of inbound, events that were processed in the last run are getting processed again. Resolution: The duplicate delivery of events issue has been resolved and the FlatFiles adapter now recovers normally as expected. 5 88533 JR26372 FlatFileAppendException generated during Append operation in a clustered environment Symptom: In a clustered environment when simultaneous append requests come from multiple instances of FlatFiles adapter (deployed over various nodes) to the same file and when staging directory is used, the adapter generates, FlatFileAppendException. Resolution: This problem has been fixed and when simultaneous append requests are fired, the FlatFiles adapter instance which requests first in line, gains a control via lock, meanwhile the other instances keep waiting till the lock is released. 6 88578 JR26470 Flat Files adapter cannot move events to archive folder on separate partitions Symptom: Flat File adapter cannot move events to archive folder if both event and archive directories are on different partitions Resolution: This has been fixed; the adapter can move files from event to archive directory even if both the directories are on different partitions.

To upgrade to the fix pack version 6.0.2.1, do the following: 1. Ensure you have followed the 'Installation Instructions' section in the download link before proceeding further. 2. If you need to use the Fix Pack for EMD, delete the connector project in the WID, import the new rar and apply the EIS specific dependency files. The following steps describe how to do the same.    a. Open the Java Build Path for the SCA module and remove the Connector project selected on projects tab.    b. Open the dependency editor and remove the connector project.    c. Delete the connector project from workspace.    d. Import the new rar file. Add any dependency files from EIS specific APIs as needed.    e. Open Java build path for the SCA module and select the Connector project selected on projects tab.    e. Open the dependency editor and add the connector project if it is not already present and check "Deploy with Module". 3. If you need to update deployed applications on the WPS.    a. Select "Update" for the corresponding application on the WPS Admin Console.    b. Select "Single Module" with relative path as name of the rar file - CWYFF_FlatFile.rar.    c. Click the "Browse" button on local file system to select the updated rar file that has the changes.    d. Select the default values in the remaining steps and click 'Finish'. This will ensure that existing configurations e.g. MCF, are not changed and jars will be merely updated.
