Installing and configuring the Fix Pack

This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization Fix Pack. Install and configure the Fix Pack in the order listed below:

Planning the configuration details the connectivity and messaging decisions.
Configuring the system environment details setting up the system environment to run the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization Fix Pack on all supported platforms.
Installing the components instructs how to load artifacts and install them in the InterChange Server Express repository, ensuring that the Fix Pack code is accessible to your system including the license file update for OS/400.
Creating the ItemSync database and tables describes how to create the relational tables required by the Fix Pack.
Configuring the metaobjects instructs how to create and configure the business objects required to properly process UCCnet messages.
Creating the database connection pool describes how to create the connection to the Item Sync database.
Creating and configuring the connectors describes how to create and configure the connectors.

Note:

The term connector used throughout refers to the runtime portion of an Adapter component of IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization. References to specific connectors are related to specific adapters, for example, "EmailConnector" refers specifically to the runtime component of an Adapter for e-Mail.

Creating and configuring the collaboration objects details the collaboration objects that must be created from the collaboration templates, and how to set the port connections and configuration properties for each collaboration object.
Deploying the Fix Pack details how to deploy the Fix Pack.

Planning the configuration

Before you install and configure the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization Fix Pack, you must determine how you will connect to UCCnet and what message format and protocols you will use.

Connectors

The way you connect to UCCnet determines the connector that you use to communicate with it.

If you exchange messages with UCCnet using an AS2/EDIINT interface protocol, you can use an iSoftConnector or you can use WebSphere Business Integration Connect.
Use the iSoftConnector if you communicate with UCCnet through an iSoft Peer-to-Peer Agent.
Use the JMS connector if you communicate with UCCnet through WebSphere Business Integration Connect Advanced/Enterprise edition.
If you exchange messages through the UCCnet Command Line Utility (CLU), WebSphere Business Integration Connect Express, or are testing your installation, you can use a JTextConnector.
If you are using an OS/400 ICS based solution incorporating WebSphere Business Integration Connect Express on OS/400 then your choice of connectivity will be the JTextConnector.
If you are using an OS/400 ICS based solution incorporating UCCnet connectivity on a remote machine via JMS, then you will use the JMSConnector to access remote queues and/or queue managers on the remote machine.

Because the actual connector you use is dependent on your set up, this documentation uses AS2 channel connector as a general term for the iSoftConnector, JTextConnector, or JMSConnector.

Messages

Messages are exchanged with UCCnet in Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents. The XML document format and the protocol that you select for communication with UCCnet significantly impact the way that you set up your solution. The format of the XML documents exchanged with UCCnet is defined by an XML Schema Definition (XSD). The XSD mode of operation supports the following command protocols:

CIN operation

The supplier implements its own subscriber data pool. Catalogue_Item_Notification (CIN) messages are sent from the supplier directly to trading partners subscribed to the product categories.

CIP operation

The supplier uses UCCnet as the subscriber data pool. Catalogue_Item (CI) messages containing additional item information that is not included in the UCCnet registry data are sent from the supplier to UCCnet. Catalogue_Item_Publication messages are then sent to UCCnet to identify the subscribers to whom UCCnet needs to send CIN messages.

Configuring the system environment

To configure the system environment, complete the following steps. Be sure to follow the instructions appropriate for your platform where indicated.

Edit the CWCLASSES path, as follows:

Windows operating systems

Edit the <WebSphereICS_installation_dir>\bin\start_server.bat file by appending the end of the CWCLASSES path to include the CatalogueItemUtility.jar file, as shown in the following example:

CWCLASSES=...;%CROSSWORLDS%\lib\CatalogueItemUtility.jar

LINUX operating systems

Edit the <WebSphereICS_installation_dir>/bin/CWSharedEnv.sh file and alter the CWCLASSES path to include the CatalogueItemUtility.jar file, as shown in the following example:

CWCLASSES=${CWCLASSES}:${CROSSWORLDS}/lib/CatalogueItemUtility.jar

Note:

The CatalogueItemUtility.jar file must be copied from the Windows system to the LINUX system.

OS/400 operating systems

Edit the /QIBM/UserData/Webbiics/bin/start_server.sh file and append the path to CatalogueItemUtility.jar file to the CWCLASSES path as shown below:

               CWCLASSES=...:${CROSSWORLDS}/lib/CatalogueItemUtility.jar

If you are running the System Manager from the WebSphere Studio Workbench SDK, edit the <WebSphereICS_installation_dir>\bin\cwtools.cfg file by adding the CatalogueItemUtility.jar file and its appropriate path information to the line classpath= in this file, as in the following example:

     classpath=<directory_location_of_CatalogueItemUtility.jar_file

          -file>CatalogueItemUtility.jar

Configure the InterChange Server Express with e-mail information by doing the following:

Open the System Manager.
Connect to the InterChange Server Express.
Right-click on the InterChange Server Express name and select Edit Configuration.
On the E-mail tab, select Connector mail from the E-mail send type menu.
Close the Edit Configuration window and save it when prompted.

Note:

The EmailConnector requires that the E-mail collaboration template be active on the server. The E-mail collaboration template is installed by default during installation of the InterChange Server Express, and must always be active, although it might not appear in any Component Library, and does not appear in the System Manager System View window.If you drop the InterChange Server Express repository and redeploy the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization Fix Pack from the System Manager, you must restore the E-mail collaboration template to the repository by entering the following command (on one line):

Windows operating systems:

o                     repos_copy -sICS_server_name

o                                -uICS_admin_ID

o                                -pICS_admin_password

o                                -ai -i<ICS_installation_path>\repository\Email.jar

o                                -xcompilepackage

LINUX operating systems:

o                     repos_copy -sICS_server_name

o                                -uICS_admin_ID

o                                -pICS_admin_password

o                                -ai -i<ICS_installation_path>/repository/Email.jar

o                                 -xcompilepackage

OS/400 operating systems:

o                     repos_copy -sQWEBBIICS

o                                -uICS_admin_ID

o                                -pICS_admin_password

o                                -ai -i/QIBM/ProdData/Webbiics/repository/Email.jar

o                                 -xcompilepackage

This command activates the E-mail collaboration template and does not require a restart of the InterChange Server Express.

Stop the InterChange Server Express.

Installing the components

Installation for Windows and Linux

Complete the following steps to ensure that the Fix Pack code is accessible to your system. Be sure to follow the instructions appropriate for your platform where indicated.

Creating the ItemSync database and tables

Do the following steps to create the ItemSync database and PROCESSED_GTIN and AUDIT_LOG tables.

Be sure to follow the instructions appropriate for your platform.

Creating the data base on a Windows system

Do the following steps, as appropriate for your data base system.

DB2

The script you run creates a database called ITEMSYNC. You can edit the script to change the name of the database. The database name must match the name specified in the database connection pool created later in this installation.

The script also contains a drive and path to a DB2CLI.LST file which must be edited to match your DB2^(R) installation.

Start a DB2 session by opening a DB2 command window. Click Start > Programs > IBMDB2 > Command Line Tools > Command Window.
Change to the directory: <ICS_installation_path>\collaborations\dependencies\db2
To run the script.enter the command

     db2 < Create_ItemSync_Database.sql

You can ignore the error messages from the DROP commands in the script.

To connect to the ITEMSYNC database, enter the command:

     db2 < connect to ITEMSYNC

Enter the command

     db2 < Create_ItemSync_Tables.sql

to run the script to create the tables.

Microsoft SQL Server

Create a database named ITEMSYNC.
Use the Query Analyzer tool to run the Create_ItemSync_Tables.sql script to create the tables.

Creating the data base on a LINUX system

Do the following steps, as appropriate for your data base system.

DB2

Transfer the files

     <ICS_installation_path>/collaborations/dependencies/UCCnet/db2/

                         Create_ItemSync_Database.sql

     <ICS_installation_path>/collaborations/dependencies/UCCnet/db2/

                         Create_ItemSync_tables.sql

to the LINUX system using FTP in ASCII mode. Place the file in the <ICS_installation_path>/collaborations/dependencies/UCCnet/db2 directory.

At the LINUX system, cd to the directory: <ICS_installation_path>/collaborations/dependencies/UCCnet/db2
Start the DB2 session. Enter the command

db2

When the session has started, enter the command

     < Create_ItemSync_Database.sql

to run the script.

Enter the command

     < Create_ItemSync_Dables.sql

to run the script to create the tables.

Creating the data base on a OS/400 system

Do the following steps, as appropriate for your data base system.

DB2 UDB for iSeries

1. Run the following CL command which will create a database named ‘QITEMSYNC’ and the appropriate tables (Note: This command takes approximately 1 minute to complete). The user issuing the command must have authority to the QWEBBIICS library and associated objects (Note: The QWEBBIICS subsystem must be active when issuing this command):

CALL QWEBBIICS/QWEBBIIAL

Configuring the metaobjects

You must configure (and in some cases create) the following metaobjects to properly process UCCnet XML messages. To perform these tasks, complete the following steps:

Edit the MO_DataHandler_DefaultXMLConfig metaobject by setting or adding the following attributes, then save it as MO_DataHandler_UCCnetXMLConfig.

Table 1. Selected attribute values for MO_DataHandler_UCCnetXMLConfig metaobject

Attribute name	Column	Setting

EndBODelimiter	Default	EOF

If you are exchanging messages with UCCnet through an AS2/EDIINT interface protocol, follow the instructions that apply to the connectivity that you are using:

iSoft connectivity

Use the Business Object Designer to create a metaobject called MO_iSoftAdapterConfig with the attributes shown in the following table. If you are using XSD CIP operation, you need two instances of the iSoft connector. However, because both instances use the same metaobject, only one metaobject is needed.

Table 6. Attribute values for MO_iSoftAdapterConfig

Attribute name	Type	Key	Application Specific Information
Default	String	x	OutputQueue=queue:// my_p2p_agent_queue_manager_name/ my_outbox_queue_name; DataEncoding=Text
UCCnetXSD_envelope_Create (for schema support)	String		If the application specific information provided for the Default attribute is insufficient for your installation, additional information on this metaobject is available in the Adapter for iSoft Peer-to-Peer Agent User Guide.

WebSphere Business Integration Connect Advanced/Enterprise-Java Message Service connectivity

Use the Business Object Designer to create a metaobject called MO_JMSAdapterConfig with the attributes shown in the following table.

Table 7. Attribute values for MO_JMSAdapterConfig

Attribute name	Type	Key	Application specific information
Default	String	x	OutputQueue=`my_output_queue_name`; where `my_output_queue_name` specifies where to deliver the messages.
UCCnetJMSXSD_envelope_create (for XSD support)	String		The application specific information provided for the Default attribute might be sufficient for your installation. For additional information on this metaobject, refer to the Adapter for Java Message Service Agent User Guide.

Set the following attributes in the EmailNotification business object:

Table 8. Selected attribute values for EmailNotification business object

Name	Column	Setting
RecipientName	Default	E-mail address of recipient.
FromAddress	Default	E-mail address of sender.

Creating the database connection pool

The Item Sync collaborations use a database connection pool to access the ITEMSYNC database (Note: For OS/400 the database is named QITEMSYNC) PROCESSED_GTIN and AUDIT_LOG tables. See IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization System Administration Guide for instructions on creating a connection pool. Ensure the following values are set when you define the database connection pool:

Use the appropriate Database Driver, Login ID, and Password. The Login ID and password used in the connection pool must match those used when creating the database and tables.
The database name must match the name used in the database creation script. The default value in the script is ITEMSYNC (use QITEMSYNC for OS/400).
The Connection Pool name must match the value set in the collaboration object's DB_CONN_POOL_NAME collaboration property. The default value of the property is ITEMSYNC_DATA.

Creating and configuring the connectors

The connectors that must be created or configured depend on the individual installation, as follows:

Create and configure the JTextRWLConnector in every installation. See Creating and configuring the JTextRWLConnector.
Configure, or if necessary, create and configure one of the following connectivity connectors depending on the connectivity type you are using and the protocol you are using to exchange messages:

Table 9. Connectors and connector information

Connectivity type and protocol	Connector to configure
Exchanging messages with UCCnet through an AS2/EDIINT interface protocol and using iSoft connectivity	Creating and configuring the iSoftConnector
Exchanging messages with UCCnet through an AS2/EDIINT interface protocol and are using the WebSphere Business Integration Connect Advanced/Enterprise interface, or if you are using an OS/400 ICS based solution incorporating UCCnet connectivity on a remote machine and wish to use JMS to access remote queues or queue managers on the remote host.	Creating and configuring the first instance of the JMSConnector
Testing your installation, and are using iSoft connectivity or WebSphere Business Integration Connect express, or if you are using an OS/400 ICS based solution incorporating WebSphere Business Integration Connect Express on the OS/400	Creating and configuring the JTextConnector

Configure the PortConnector in every installation, as detailed in the section Configuring the PortConnector.
If you want to use the e-mail capabilities of the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization Fix Pack, configure the EmailConnector, as detailed in the section Configuring the EmailConnector.

The connector configuration procedures defined in the following sections assume the connector configuration information is saved to the project, where it is accessed by the connector at startup time. As an alternative, the connector configuration information can be saved to a file and the connector startup procedure can be altered to access that file. For additional information on options for starting your connectors, refer to the System Administration Guide.

Creating and configuring the JTextRWLConnector

The JTextRWLConnector is the input connector for a UCCnet_requestWorklist collaboration object. The UCCnet_requestWorklist collaboration object passes a UCCnet worklist request to UCCnet from a file system folder. To poll for the worklist, a scheduler operation performed by an operating system must be configured to periodically drop a fresh copy of the request .xml into the event file system folder for the JTextRWLConnector.

Creating the JTextRWLConnector

To create the JTextRWLConnector, complete the following steps:

Open the System Manager.
Save the JTextRWLConnector by doing the following:

Open the JTextConnector.
Click File > Save As > To Project.
Save the connector as JTextRWLConnector.

Configuring the JTextRWLConnector

Perform the following steps to configure the JTextRWLConnector:

Configure this connector to include the standard configuration property and appropriate business objects. Use the values shown in the following tables.

Table 10. Standard property

Property name	Value
ApplicationName	JTextRWLConnector

Table 11. Supported business objects

Business object name	Agent support required?
MO_JTextRWLConnector_Default	Yes
MO_DataHandler_UCCnet_envelope	Yes
One of the following: o UCCnetXSD_envelope (when iSoft or WebSphere Business Integration Connect express connectivity and XSD XML definition type are used) o UCCnetJMSXSD_envelope (when WebSphere Business Integration Connect Advanced/Enterprise connectivity and XSD XML definition type are used)	Yes
UCCnetGBO_envelope	No

Save the configuration (File > Save > To Project), then go back to the Associated Map tab and set the explicit bindings.

Table 12. Associated maps

Business object name	Map name
UCCnetXSD_envelope for iSoft connectivity or WebSphere Business Integration Connect express	UCCnetXSD_envelope_to_UCCnetGBO_envelope
UCCnetJMSXSD_envelope for WebSphere Business Integration Connect Advanced/Enterprise	UCCnetJMSXSD_envelope_to_UCCnetGBO_envelope
UCCnetGBO_envelope	o iSoft connectivity or WebSphere Business Integration Connect express: UCCnetGBO_envelope_to_UCCnetXSD_envelope o WebSphere Business Integration Connect Advanced/Enterprise: UCCnetGBO_envelope_to_UCCnetJMSXSD_envelope

Save the configuration file (File > Save > To Project), then close the Connector Configurator.

Creating and configuring the JMSConnector

Create and configure this connector only if you are communicating with UCCnet through a WebSphere Business Integration Connect Advanced/Enterprise interface. If you are setting up your system to use the XSD CIP operation, you must create and configure two instances of the JMSConnector connector.

Creating and configuring the first instance of the JMSConnector

To create and configure the JMSConnector, complete the following steps:

Note:

In the situation where your UCCnet connectivity is located on a remote machine and you need to use the JMS adapter to communicate with a remote queue manager, then the following steps will apply to OS/400. For OS/400 queues, you can use the iSeries remote tools from a Window’s client: Start>Programs>IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Sync>iSeries remote>InterChange Server Express> Configure Queue Manager. This will open crossworlds_mq.tst (on OS/400) in NotePad on your PC. From NotePad you can edit the file to contain the Queues you need to create (see samples in your installed files directory). When you close NotePad, the OS/400 tools will create your Queue definitions in the Queue Manager listed in InterchangeSystem.cfg.

Create the following channels and queues using MQ Explorer, or the runmqsc tool:

Start runmqsc:

      runmqsc local_queue_manager name

Define a transmission queue

      DEFINE QLOCAL(xmit q_name)  USUAGE(XMITQ) MAXMSGL(10485760)

Define a sender channel for sending messages to WebSphere Business Integration Connect (Enter the following on one line. It is formatted for readability.)

      DEFINE CHANNEL(channel_name) CHLTYPE(SDR) XMITQ(xmit q_name) CONNAME

                       ('IP_address_of_Business_Integration_Conenct_machine(listener_port)%csq;) MAXMSGL(10485760)

Note:

On the Business Integration Connect machine, you must have a channel of type "Server Connection" defined with the same name you define for the channel here.

Define a receiver channel for receiving messages from WebSphere Business Integration Connect

      DEFINE CHANNEL (channel_name) CHLTYPE (RCVR)  MAXMSGL(10485760)

Define a Remote queue

      DEFINE QREMOTE(q_name) RNAME(name_of_input_queue_for_Business_Integration_Connect)

                       RQMNAME(QM_name_used_by_Business_Integration_Connect)  XMITQ(name_of_transmission_queue)

Define a local queue for receiving messages

      DEFINE QLOCAL(Input_qname) MAXMSGL(10485760) DEFPSIST(YES);

Create the JMS bindings files:

Note:

On OS/400 you will need to edit the /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/bin/JMSAdmin script to contain the class paths to the WebSphere MQ jar files. Below is a sample JMSAdmin script for OS/400:

#!/bin/sh

export PATH=$MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH/bin:$MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH/lib:$PATH

java -classpath $MQ_CP $MQ_FLAGS com.ibm.mq.jms.admin.JMSAdmin $*

You will also need to ensure the /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/bin/JMSAdmin.config script is in CCSID 819. If your JMSAdmin.config is not in CCSID 819 you can use the CPY command and specify the source and destination CCSID to copy your JMSAdmin.config to CCSID 819.

Modify the <MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH>\bin\JMSAdmin.config file as follows:

Comment out the following line:

 INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory

Uncomment the following line:

INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory

Set the PROVIDER_URL variable to point to the directory where you want the JMS bindings file to be placed.

For example:

PROVIDER_URL=file:/C:/IBM/WebSphereICS/connectors/JMS

On OS/400:

                PROVIDER_URL=file:/QIBM/UserData/Webbiics/connectors/JMS

Note:

This directory must exist, and you must have write permission for it.

Leave the rest of the file as it is.

Save your changes.
Create a new file called WBIRetail.jdni with the following content:

Note:
For OS/400 you will be defining many of these queues as remote queues (interfacing with remote UCCnet connectivity), thus depending on your configuration substitute remote queue definitions where appropriate

Where HOST_NAME is the name of the host machine, CHANNEL_NAME is the name of the communications channel, and INPUTQ, REPLYQ, REMOTEQ , and the other indicated variables are the queue names.

Save the file. The location that you save the file to does not matter, as long as it is available when you run the batch file in step 2f.
Move to the <MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH>\bin directory.

pp. On LINUX operating systems

Run the JMSAdmin.bat file with the following syntax:

./JMSAdmin.sh < WBIRetail.jndi

where WBIRetail.jndi is the file that you created in step 2d.

On Windows operating systems

Run the JMSAdmin.bat file with the following syntax:

JMSAdmin.bat < WBIRetail.jndi

Where WBIRetail.jndi is the file that you created in step 2d.The JMSAdmin.bat and JMSAdmin.sh files create the JMS bindings files, called .bindings, and puts it in the directory specified by the PROVIDER_URL variable of the JMSAdmin.config file.

qq. On OS/400 operating systems

Run the JMSAdmin script in QSH using the following syntax:

/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/bin/JMSAdmin < /path/to/WBIRetail.jndi

Where WBIReatil.jndi is the file you created in step 2d.

Open the JMSConnector. Configure this connector to include the connector-specific configuration properties and appropriate business objects. Use the values shown in the following tables. The variable my_queue_manager_name represents the name of the name of the queue manager defined for the InterChange Server Express.

EMAIL_MESSAGE	Body of the e-mail. The processing of this field uses the same variables as the EMAIL_SUBJECT property. It also processes values beginning with the @ sign in the same manner. For example, in the following, the first character of the string is an @ sign, so the collaboration object loads the text from the filename following the @ sign: @c:\IBM\WebSphereICS\UCCnet\collaborations\eMail\ \ UCCnet_processWorklist_AUTHORIZATION_RESPONSES.mail	Yes
EMAIL_NOTIFICATION_RCPTS	E-mail address of the recipients.	Yes
EMAIL_SUBJECT	Subject line of the e-mail. This value can contain variables in the form `${variable_name}` into which the collaboration object substitutes data from the business object dynamically. See E-mail examples.	Yes

Note:

Several sample e-mail files are in the following directory:

Windows operating systems

<ICS_installation_path>\Samples\UCCnet\collaborations\eMail

LINUX operating systems

You must FTP (ASCII mode) the e-mail files to a directory on your LINUX system.

OS/400 operating systems

/QIBM/UserData/Webbiics/samples/UCCnet/collaborations/eMail

Each of the collaboration objects based on the Notify_by_eMail collaboration template must have its properties updated to point to the correct location of these sample files or to your own custom e-mail files.

E-mail examples

Type text using the following escape codes:

${getRoot} - substitutes the entire triggering business object.
${getDate} - substitutes the current date and time.
${getName} - substitutes the name of the triggering business object.
${getVerb} - substitutes the verb of the triggering business object.
${attribute} - substitutes the value of the named attribute from the triggering business object. If the value for the variable_name does not match one of the specific values above, the collaboration object interprets it as the name of a business object attribute.

If the first character of the string for this value is an @ sign, the collaboration object loads the text from a filename following the @ sign.

See the Solution development guide for information about how the solution handles sending e-mail and for a sample value for this property.

Deploying the Fix Pack

Deploy the solution, as follows:

After all of the components of the solution have been configured, compile the maps and collaboration templates in the System Manager.
