Make sure that you run this version of the adapter with WebSphere Business Integration Adapters run-time version 1.6.0 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 1.6.0 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: 1.6.0
The line Implementation-version indicates the installed version of the API. If the version is not 1.6.0 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

Description |
22095 | Trading Partner Interchange Server 4.2 fails when used with
WebSphere InterChange Server 4.2.1 and IBM WebSphere Business
Integration Adapters Framework 2.3.1. The adapter fails to start
with the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: CxCommon/CxConfig, method: initFromXML signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)V) Incompatible object argument for method callThis problem stems from incompatible versions of Xerces parser shipped with Trading Partner Interchange 4.2 and InterChange Server 4.2.1 with and WebSphere Business Integration Adapters 2.3.1. Trading Partner Interchange Server version 4.1 runs without problems. The Xerces incompatibility issue has been fixed in ICS Fix Pack 4.2.1.3, ICS 4.2.2, and WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework 2.4.0. You can run Trading Partner Interchange Server 4.2 against them without problems. |
31633 | In a UNIX environment, a connector_manager_adapter script is generated by the installer program. The script references adapterEnv.sh, which was introduced with version 2.4.0 of 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. |
32181 | The adapter does not support the WaitForMDN feature when run
with TPI Server 4.2. You must set the WaitForMDN property to false
in both the connector property and the dynamic meta-object
(TPIRouteInfo).
