Installing the interim fix


There are two ways to install WebSphere Business Modeler interim fixes. Using one method, you download the required files to a local repository, and then use the IBM Installation Manager Update Packages wizard to install the files from the repository. Using the other method, you use the IBM Installation Manager Update Packages wizard to automatically download and install the required files from an IBM download site.

To install the interim fix from a local repository, complete the following steps:

1.      Download the 6.1.1-WB-ModelerAdv-MultiOS-IF0000002.zip file.

2.      Double-click the downloaded 6.1.1-WB-ModelerAdv-MultiOS-IF0000002.zip file, and extract the files into a temporary directory. 

3.      Open Installation Manager from your Start menu by selecting IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation Manager.

4.      From the Installation Manager start page, go to File > Preferences.

5.      Click Repositories.

6.      Click Add Repository… on the Repositories page.

7.      Using the browse button, locate the directory where you have downloaded and unzipped the files for the interim fix.

8.      Select repository.config, and click Open.

9.      Click OK to close the Add Repository window.

10.  Follow the instructions below to apply the interim fix to your WebSphere Business Modeler package.

To update your WebSphere Business Modeler package with the new interim fix, complete the following steps:

1.      Open Installation Manager from your Start menu by selecting IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation Manager.

2.      From the Installation Manager start page, click Update Packages to start the Update Packages wizard.

3.      Select the WebSphere Business Modeler package and click Next. Installation Manager searches for updates in its repositories and the predefined update sites for WebSphere Business Modeler. If you do not have the files for the interim fix in a local repository, Installation Manager will download the required files.

4.      On the Updates page, select the “Version 6.1.1.002” update and click Next.

5.      On the License page, the list of licenses for the updates you selected is displayed; click each item to display the license agreement text.

6.      If you agree to the terms of the license agreements, click I accept the terms of the license agreements.

7.      Click Next to continue.

8.      On the Summary page, click Update to install the update. The interim fix is now installed.

9.      Click Finish to close the Update Packages wizard.

Note: Before using WebSphere Business Modeler in a language other than English, you must first install the language you want to use. The interim fixes for WebSphere Business Modeler 6.1 include the national language support files that are required for installing additional languages. 

If you are using WebSphere Business Modeler 6.1 without any interim fixes installed, you will need to install an interim fix before you can install additional languages. After installing the fix, run the Modify Packages wizard from the IBM Installation Manager start page and select the languages to install.

If you are already using WebSphere Business Modeler 6.1.1, you can run the Modify Packages wizard to install additional languages either before or after applying any fixes.

Product notes

Exporting certain business items as data fields

 

By default, the FileNet Business Process Manager export now exports business items that have a single basic-type attribute as data fields. The export continues to export business items that have more than one attribute or have complex-type (business items) attributes as XML data fields.

 

You can disable this option by removing the check mark from the Transform business items with single basic attributes into data fields check box in the export options page. If you disable this option, the export exports all business items (including business items with single basic-type attributes) as XML data fields.

 

For example, say there is a process that contains a Customer business item that has one attribute called ID and the attribute is an Integer. If you export the process with the option enabled and then open the resulting XPDL in FileNet Process Designer, there is a Customer data field. If you export the process with the option disabled, there is a Customer XML data field instead.

 

With the option enabled, the export removes the attribute and sets the data field to the type of the business item attribute. In the XPDL, the data field looks like this:

 

<DataField Id="Customer" IsArray="FALSE" Name="Customer">

            <DataType>

                        <BasicType Type="INTEGER"/>

            </DataType>

</DataField>

 

With the option disabled, the export creates a definition that refers to the XML schema. In the XPDL, the XML data field looks like this:

 

<DataField Id="Customer" IsArray="FALSE" Name="Customer">

            <DataType>

                        <DeclaredType Id="xml"/>

            </DataType>

            <fn:Field ElementName="Customer" SchemaName="Schema_name"/>

</DataField>

 

Note that the Businessitems.xsd is not affected by the whether the option is enabled or disabled. The schema contains the same definition for the data field. The difference is that with the option enabled, the XPDL does not reference the schema.

 

Changes to modeling in FileNet Business Process Manager mode

Previously, in FileNet Business Process Manager mode, you modeled data flow separately from the control flow. That is, to pass data from one task to another, you linked the first task to a repository to output the data and then linked the repository to the second task to input data.

 

However, when you apply Interim Fix 1, you can now attach business items that have a single basic-type attribute to a control flow. You no longer need to pass the business item from a task to a repository to another task.

 

If the business item has more than one attribute or it has an attribute that is of a complex type (another business item), you must continue to use a repository to pass it from one task to another.

 

Business services imported into WebSphere Business Modeler from wsdl should be reimported after applying interim fix 2.

 

This interim fix resolves a problem that arises when performing a WebSphere Integration Developer export on a model containing business services that have been imported from wsdl.

 

If you encounter this problem before applying this fix, you will need to apply the fix, then  re-import the business service into WebSphere Business Modeler, and reference the newly imported business service in a process model. Subsequent export of the model to WebSphere Integration Developer will succeed without error.
