Before installing, configuring, and using the adapter, you must understand its environment requirements. They are listed in the following section.
The adapter framework that an adapter uses must be compatible with the version of the integration broker (or brokers) with which the adapter is communicating. Version 2.5 of the adapter for WebSphere MQ Workflow is supported on the following adapter framework and integration brokers:
See Release Notes for any exceptions.
Before you install the adapter, your system should have the following software installed and configured:
One of the following application platforms:

The connector has been internationalized so that it can support double-byte character sets, and deliver message text in the specified language. When the connector transfers data from a location that uses one character code to a location that uses a different code set, it performs character conversion to preserves the meaning of the data.
The Java runtime environment within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) represents data in the Unicode character code set. Unicode contains encodings for characters in most known character code sets (both single-byte and multibyte). Most components in the WebSphere business integration system are written in Java. Therefore, when data is transferred between most integration components, there is no need for character conversion.
To log error and informational messages in the appropriate language and for the appropriate country or territory, configure the Locale standard configuration property for your environment. For more information on configuration properties, see Appendix A, Standard configuration properties for connectors.
