Updated in June 2004. The release of this document for adapter suite
version 2.5.x contains the following new or corrected
information:
- The adapter suite supports Object Discovery Agents (ODAs) for these
connectors: Software AG ADABAS, IBM CICS/TS, IBM DB2 and IBM
VSAM.
- The Shadow Client and Server prerequisites for use of a connector have
been updated to Shadow Client version 3.9.398 and Shadow Server
version 4.8.4086
- New connector-specific configuration properties are QueryTimeOut,
ReturnDummyBOForSP, SelectiveCommitForPoll, and UseDefaultsWhenPolling (which
replaces UseDefaultsForRetrieve). An existing property,
DriverSupportForLong, has been documented.
- The adapter suite supports a new parameter for application-specific
information for attributes of type DATE.
- The connector recognizes these stored procedure attribute names for the
DeltaUpdate verb: BeforeDeltaUpdateSP, AfterDeltaUpdateSP,
DeltaUpdateSP.
- The Tree of Schema contains an additional node called synonyms/nicknames
for identifying database objects to be associated with the generated business
object definition.
- The Tree of Schema contains the schema name ALL SCHEMAS to help retrieve
objects from databases that do not have schemas associated with the
objects.
- The jConfig tool, which is provided with the Shadow Client, is used to
configure JDBC driver data sources. The ODBC API is no longer used for
connectivity to mainframe systems.
- Information specific to each adapter has been added to Chapter 1,
"Overview."
- As of version 2.5.x, the Mainframe Adapter Suite is not
supported on Solaris 7.0, so references to that platform have been
removed from this guide.
