Before installing, configuring, and using the adapter, you must
understand its environment requirements.
The adapter framework that an adapter uses must be compatible
with the version of the integration broker (or brokers) with which
the adapter is communicating. Version 1.8.X of the adapter for
SWIFT is supported on the following adapter framework and
integration brokers:
- Adapter framework:
- WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework, version
2.1.0, 2.2.0, 2.3.0, 2.3.1, 2.4.0
- Integration brokers:
- WebSphere InterChange Server, version 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1,
4.2.2
- WebSphere MQ Integrator, version 2.1.0
- WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker, version 2.1.0
- WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker, version 5.0
- WebSphere Application Server Enterprise, version 5.0.2, with
WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, version
5.0.1
See Release Notes for any exceptions.
- Note:
- For instructions on installing the integration broker and its
prerequisites, see the following documentation.
- For WebSphere InterChange Server (ICS), see the System
Installation Guide for UNIX or for Windows.
- For message brokers (WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker, WebSphere
MQ Integrator, and WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker),
see Implementing Adapters with WebSphere Message Brokers, and the
installation documentation for the message broker. Some of this can
be found at the following Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily/library/manualsa/
- For WebSphere Application Server, see Implementing Adapters
with WebSphere Application Server and the documentation at
http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library.html
The adapter supports the following standards.
- The IBM WebSphere Business Adapter for SWIFT can dynamically
transform a business object representing an ISO 7775 SWIFT message
into a business object representing the corresponding ISO 15022
SWIFT message and vice versa.
- The adapter supports business object ISO 7775-15022 mapping for
SWIFT Category 5, Securities Markets, but only with the expanded
business object definitions available with this release and
described in this document, and only on the Solaris platform
The SWIFTAlliance Access gateway is a window through which SWIFT
messages flow to and from remote financial applications over IP or
WebSphere MQ. The connector supports SWIFTAlliance Access 5.0.
The adapter runs on the following platforms:
- Windows 2000
- Solaris 7, 8
- HP-UX 11i
- AIX(R) 5.1, 5.2
The following software must be installed before you install and
configure the connector for SWIFT:
- The connector supports interoperability with applications via
WebSphere MQ, WebSphere MQ 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3.
Accordingly, you must have one of these software releases
installed.
- Note:
- The adapter does not support Secure Socket Layers (SSL) in
WebSphere MQ 5.3. For the WebSphere MQ software version appropriate
to adapter framework-integration broker communication, see the
Installation Guide for your platform (Windows/Unix).
- IBM WebSphere MQ Java client libraries (included with WebSphere
MQ 5.3)
- Note:
- It's advisable to download the latest MA88 libraries from
IBM.
- MQSA WebSphere MQ Interface for SWIFTAlliance 1.3
- Note:
- The SWIFTAlliance Access gateway is a window through which
SWIFT messages flow to and from remote financial applications over
IP or WebSphere MQ. The connector supports SWIFTAlliance Access
5.0.
Footnotes:
- If your environment implements the convert-on-the-get
methodology for character-set conversions you must download the
latest MA88 (JMS classes) from IBM. The patch level should be at
least 5.2.2 (for MQ Series version 5.2). Doing so may avoid
unsupported encoding errors.
