New in release 2.8.x

This release adds support for the AIX 5.3 platform. For further information on this and other hardware and software requirements, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27006249. Note that information provided at this URL replaces that found in the "Broker compatibility" and "Adapter platforms" sections, which have been removed from this guide as of this release.

The adapter now supports IBM Tivoli License Manager (ITLM).

The adapter can now use multiple threads for event polling. You specify the maximum number of threads in the WorkerThreadCount property in Connector Configurator. For more information, see WorkerThreadCount.

A new connector-specific property, DataHandlerPoolSize, allows you to create an instance pool for each data handler type. This enhancement enables the adapter to pool the instances of configured data handlers for reuse later. For further information, see DataHandlerPoolSize.

You can now configure the adapter to invoke custom security exits using two new connector-specific properties, SecurityExitClassName and SecurityExitInitParam. For further information, see SecurityExitClassName and SecurityExitInitParam.

The adapter's data encoding, which supports text, now supports binary and JMS object message types. You specify text (the default data encoding), binary, or object in the DataEncoding property of the meta-object. For further information, see DataEncoding for binary and object messages.
