Installation roadmap

This document describes how to install the following adapters:

There are a variety of installation scenarios. They depend on the configuration of your environment and the kind and location of the integration broker. The high level installation tasks are as follows:

  1. Determine your WebSphere Business Integration adapter environment:
  2. Install Adapter Framework 2.6 and adapter and apply Fix Pack 2.6.0.3 Follow the links in Table 1 for specific procedures that reflect your configuration and environment requirements.
  3. Migrate adapters Follow the links in Table 1 to see how you can migrate adapters to the new framework. Migrating adapters involves modifying adapter and ODA start scripts. For further information, see the Migrating Adapters to Adapter Framework, Version 2.6 guide.

Table 1 summarizes the installation scenarios that apply to a variety of WebSphere Business Integration environments. Each row of the table ends with a pointer to documentation that contains step-by-step instructions for completing the procedure.
