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 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 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 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
There are limitations in event polling. For the event processing component, the adapter does not poll events in the order they were created. This is due to an issue with the PeopleSoft application, which does not retrieve records based on the order that they were created, but instead, returns records based on the GetKey attribute.
Session instances may not be released properly when ReconnectSessionOnGetFail is set to true (or True).
The following problems have been found in this release:

Description |
59327 | Although ReconnectSessionOnGetFail is set to "True," sessions are not reconnected. To work around this, set the property value to "true" (in lowercase), because the value is case-sensitive. |
