Whether you are installing the software from the CD or downloading it from Passport Advantage and installing it from a local directory, refer to the appropriate guide for your integration broker:
These guides also include general migration, upgrade, and configuration information.
For hardware and software requirements and configuration information specific to this adapter, refer to the Adapter for JMS User Guide.
Make sure that you run this version of the adapter with WebSphere Business Integration Adapters run-time version 1.7.0 or later.
The WebSphere Business Integration Adapters API .jar files and the associated scripts (CWConnEnv.bat and CWODAEnv.bat for Windows(R); CWConnEnv.sh and CWODAEnv.sh for UNIX platforms) are installed by the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters API. Before installing the adapter, make sure that the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters run time is installed. If the version is not 1.7.0 or later, you must download the latest API. This section provides instructions for verifying the API version, downloading the latest version, and enabling the adapter to run on various versions of InterChange Server and Adapter Development Kit (ADK).
To check the version of the 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
The line Implementation-version indicates the installed version of the API. If the version is not 1.7.0 or later, you must download the latest run time.
To download the latest version of the run time:
After you download and install the run time, you should see the following files:
lib\WBIA.jar
lib\WBIA\3.0.0\WBIA.jar
lib\WBIA\4.0.0\WBIA.jar
lib\WBIA\4.1.1\WBIA.jar
lib\WBIA\4.2.0\WBIA.jar
bin\CWConnEnv.bat (Windows)
bin/CWConnEnv.sh (UNIX)
bin\CWODAEnv.bat (Windows)
bin/CWODAEnv.sh (UNIX)
connectors\messages\CwConnectorAgentMessages.txt
To enable an adapter to work with various versions of ADK or InterChange Server, follow the appropriate procedure below:
Windows: In CWConnEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
UNIX: In CWConnEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
Windows: In CWConnEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
UNIX: In CWConnEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
Windows: In bin\CWODAEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
UNIX: In bin/CWODAEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
Windows: In bin\CWODAEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
UNIX: In bin/CWODAEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
The following problems have been found in this release:

Description |
31633 | In a UNIX environment, a connector_manager_adapter script is generated by the Installer. The script references adapterEnv.sh, which was introduced with version 2.4.0 of the Adapter Framework. If you are running an older version of Adapter Framework, adapterEnv is not available. To run this version of the adapter with an older version of the Framework, change the reference from adapterEnv.sh to CWSharedEnv.sh in the connector_manager_adapter script. |
33728 | During event processing, when multiple conversion properties match the InputFormat or the InputQueue of an input message, the adapter tries to incorrectly use the last matched business object attribute in the static meta-object as a map for the input message. In such cases, the adapter should actually pass the message content to the data handler to allow the data handler to determine the business object name. To overcome this issue, configure unique InputFormat and InputQueue keys for each of the BO_verb attributes in the static meta-object. |
35855 | When configured with an archival connection factory object (when the property ArchivalConnectionFactoryName is used) of WebSphere MQ, the JMS adapter fails to copy the message while using an InProgressDestination. This is caused by a limitation of WebSphere MQ that does not allow a MessageID generated by a different JMS provider to be copied to the CorrelationID field of a WebSphere MQ message due to some special characters used in the MessageID string. |
36128 | When an InputQueue property is not configured, the adapter returns a NullPointerException and fails to initialize. |
36438 | The adapter conversion property names defined in the static meta-object and the dynamic meta-object property names are case sensitive. |
