Interoperating

WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 is interoperable with other WebSphere Application Server versions under certain conditions.

Before you begin

See Overview of migration, coexistence, and interoperability and Premigration considerations.

WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 is generally interoperable with WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x and Version 6.0.x. You should apply the latest fix level to support interoperability. In order to interoperate between WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and a WebSphere Application Server product on a non-z/OS machine, however, you must take the following steps:

Procedure

  1. On the non-z/OS machine, the property -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.ORBCharEncoding=ASCII should be set in the administrative console under server_name > Java and Process Management >Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine > Generic JVM arguments.
  2. On the non-z/OS machine, the property com.ibm.CORBA.ORBWCharDefault = UCS2 should be defined in the administrative console under server_name > Container Services > ORB Service > Custom Properties.
  3. If you are running WebSphere Application Server for z/OS with security enabled, you must set the property com.ibm.CORBA.validateBasicAuth=false in sas.client.props on the non-z/OS machine. It is set to true by default.
  4. Upgrade the Software Development Kit (SDK) used to one supported by Version 6.1.x.
