see the following documentation. For WebSphere InterChange Server
(ICS), see the System Installation Guide for UNIX or for
Windows.
For message brokers (WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker, WebSphere MQ
Integrator, and WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker), see
Implementing Adapters with WebSphere Message Brokers, and the
installation documentation for the message broker. Some of this can be
found at the following Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily/library/manualsa/.
For WebSphere Application Server, see Implementing Adapters with
WebSphere Application Server and the documentation at:
