Adapter environment

Before installing, configuring, and using the adapter, you must understand its environment requirements.

Adapter components

The Adapter for FRONT ARENA ships with the following parts:

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. Version 1.0 of the Adapter for FRONT ARENA is supported on the following adapter framework and integration brokers:

See the Release Notes for any exceptions.

Note:
For instructions on installing your integration broker and its prerequisites, see the following guides:
For WebSphere InterChange Server, see IBM WebSphere InterChange Server System Installation Guide for UNIX or for Windows.
For WebSphere message brokers, see Implementing Adapters with WebSphere Message Brokers.
For WebSphere Application Server, see Implementing Adapters with WebSphere Application Server.

Locale-dependent data

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

Globalization

Globalization is supported as far as it is supported by the standard WebSphere MQ technology adapter.
