WebSphere Business Integration Adapters API and run time

Make sure that you run this version of the adapter with WebSphere Business Integration Adapters (WBIA) run-time version 1.7.0 or later.

The WBIA API .jar files and the associated scripts (CWConnEnv.bat and CWODAEnv.bat for Windows; CWConnEnv.sh and CWODAEnv.sh for UNIX platforms) are installed by the Adapter Framework installer. Before installing the adapter, make sure that Adapter Framework is installed. If the version is not 1.7.0 or later, you must download the latest WBIA API. This section provides instructions for verifying the version of WBIA API, downloading the latest version, and enabling the adapter to run on various versions of InterChange Server and Adapter Development Kit.

Verifying the version of WBIA run time

To check the version of WBIA run time, locate the manifest file (ProductDir\lib\WBIA.jar) and open it in a suitable Java JAR editor. Look for the following lines:

Implementation-Title: "CWConnectorAPI"
Implementation-Version: 1.7.0

Implementation version indicates the installed version of the WBIA API. If the version is not 1.7.0 or later, you must download the latest WBIA run time.
