Make sure that you run this version of the adapter with WebSphere Business Integration Adapters run-time version 1.8.0 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 1.8.0 or later, you must download the latest WebSphere Business Integration Adapters API. This section provides instructions for verifying the API version, downloading the latest version, and enabling the adapter to run on various versions of WebSphere 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: 1.8.0
The line Implementation-version indicates the installed version of the API. If the version is not 1.8.0 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
bin\CWConnEnv.bat (Windows)
bin/CWConnEnv.sh (UNIX)
bin\CWODAEnv.bat (Windows)
bin/CWODAEnv.sh (UNIX)
connectors\messages\CwConnectorAgentMessages.txt
Refer to the Adapter for XML User Guide for detailed information regarding uninstallation.
Bi-di characters are not supported as part of business object and business object attribute names. Consequently, after a business object template based on the XML/XSD files with attribute/element names having bi-di characters is generated, you must rename all business object names and attribute names that include non-Latin characters, so that they contain only Latin characters.
