Adapter environment

Before installing, configuring, and using the adapter, you must understand its environment requirements as described in the following sections:

Broker compatibility

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. The 1.1.0 version of the adapter for Lotus Domino is supported on the following adapter framework and integration brokers:

Adapter framework: WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework, versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.x, and 2.4.

Integration brokers:

See the Release Notes for any exceptions.

Software prerequisites

In addition to the adapter framework and one of the integration brokers listed in Broker compatibility, the following software must be installed before you install the Lotus Domino adapter.

Operating system:

One of the following operating systems must be installed on the system on which the adapter will be installed:

Note:
The adapter installer can be installed on Windows XP and will install Windows XP tools support; however, the adapter cannot run on a Windows XP host.

Application software

Additional software

For instructions on installing your integration broker and its prerquisites, see the following documentation:

For information on installing Domino server , refer to the installation information provided with your Lotus Domino software.

Processing locale-dependent data

The connector has been internationalized so that it can support delivery of double-byte character sets (DBCS) going into an interface that also supports 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 preserve the meaning of the data.

The Java run time 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.
