Prior versions
New features and other changes in prior versions.
Version 5.1.x
The adapter can now use WebSphere Application Server as
an integration broker. For further information, see Broker compatibility.
The adapter now runs on the following platforms:
- Solaris 7, 8
- AIX 5.x
- HP UX 11.i
Version 5.0.x
Updated in March, 2003. The "CrossWorlds" name
is no longer used to describe an entire system or to modify the
names of components or tools, which are otherwise mostly the same
as before. For example "CrossWorlds System Manager" is
now "System Manager," and "CrossWorlds
InterChange Server" is now "WebSphere InterChange
Server."
The IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for e-Mail is
being released with the same functionality as in previous releases.
The release of this document contains the following new or corrected
information:
- Documentation of the DefaultVerb adapter
property, which enables the adapter to provide a default verb for
business objects it generates from a file if no verb information
is available in the file. For more information, see DefaultVerb.
- Documentation of the AttachmentExtension meta-object
attribute, which enables the adapter to specify an extension for
the files it generates representing business objects contained in
an e-mail. For more information, see AttachmentExtension.
- The child meta-object attribute previously known as EventRecovery has been renamed to InDoubtEvents.
The possible values for this attribute have changed to Reprocess, FailOnStartUp, LogError, and Ignore. For more information, see InDoubtEvents.
- There is a new child meta-object attribute known as Reconnect that has been added to the MO_PollLocation. The possible values for this attribute are true or false.
These values will be used to determine whether an attempt will be
made to reconnect to the mail server upon loss of connection. For
more information, see Event notification.
Version 4.3.x
IBM WebSphere Business Integration for e-Mail includes
the adapter for Email. This adapter operates with both the InterChange
Server and WebSphere MQ Integrator integration brokers. An integration
broker, which is an application that performs integration of heterogeneous
sets of applications, provides services that include data routing.
This adapter includes:
- An application-specific component specific to e-Mail technology.
- A sample, which is located in \connectors\EMail\samples.
- IBM WebSphere Adapter Framework, which consists of:
- Adapter Framework
- Development tools (including Business Object Designer and Connector Configurator)
- APIs (including ODK, JCDK, and CDK)
This manual provides instructions about using this adapter with
both integration brokers: InterChange Server and WebSphere MQ Integrator.
The adapter has been internationalized. For more information,
see Processing
locale-dependent data and Appendix A. Standard configuration properties for adapters.
