This section includes the following topics:
The WebSphere business integration system includes WebSphere Business Integration adapters and other components. WebSphere Business Integration adapters and some associated components are delivered on CD or through ESD (IBM Electronic Software Delivery). Other components used by the WebSphere business integration system must be obtained and installed separately.
Table 7 lists the software requirements for the WebSphere business
integration system.

The JRE includes the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is needed to run WebSphere Business Integration adapters. However, it does not include development tools, such as JavaC (the Java compiler). If you do not plan to create custom connectors, use the JRE.
The JRE contains the runtime component of the Java software, which the WebSphere business integration system requires to execute. The JRE is included in WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework. Therefore, there is no need to install it separately.
If you plan to create custom connectors, install the full JDK. A single CD contains JDKs for all supported platforms. For information on installing the JDK, see Installing WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, Version 2.6.
IBM WebSphere MQ is the messaging software that enables communication between an integration broker and the adapters.
Refer to the following WebSphere MQ publications for installation and configuration information:
To configure WebSphere MQ to work with the integration broker, see Configuring WebSphere MQ queues for WebSphere Application Server..
For information on installing WebSphere Business Integration adapter products, refer to the Installing WebSphere Business Integration Adapters guide located in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Infocenter at the following site:
