CR number Description
XML fragments are not supported

The XSL Transformer Logic Module does not support XML fragments (for example, XML documents missing the initial XML declaration <?xml ... ?>). Documents without the header result in a StringOutOfBounds exception being thrown by the adapter, the event is not processed, and an error is recorded. XML headers are required to ascertain the encoding of the XML document being passed.
Deploying to WMQIB or WBIMB

Note the changes you must make before deploying to either WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker (WMQIB) or WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker (WBIMB). These changes are documented in the Adapter for IndusConnect Framework User Guide in section "Using the adapter with WMQIB or WBIMB".

After making these changes and when deploying to these brokers using the System Manager, do not select the Select all or Show only Top Level Business objects check boxes in the Deploy to Message Broker Workspace window.
