Software Requirements

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 8 lists the software requirements for the WebSphere business integration system.

Installing the JDK

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 the 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.

Installing WebSphere MQ

IBM WebSphere MQ is the messaging software that enables communication between a WebSphere message broker and the adapters.

Refer to the following WebSphere MQ publications for installation and configuration information:

Note:
You can browse or download these documents from IBM's Web site at: http://www.ibm.com/software/mqseries.

To configure WebSphere MQ to work with a WebSphere message broker, see Configuring the message broker to work with the connector..
