Before installing, configuring, and using the adapter, you must
understand its environment requirements. They are listed in the
following section.
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 1.3.0 of the adapter for
iSoft is supported on the following adapter framework and
integration brokers:
- Adapter framework:
WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework versions 2.1, 2.2,
2.3.x, and 2.4.
- Integration brokers:
- WebSphere InterChange Server, versions 4.1.1, 4.2, 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 your integration broker and its
prerequisites, see the following guides.
For WebSphere InterChange Server (ICS), see IBM WebSphere
InterChange Server System Installation Guide for UNIX or for
Windows.
For WebSphere message brokers, see Implementing Adapters with
WebSphere Message Brokers.
For WebSphere Application Server, see Implementing Adapters with
WebSphere Application Server.
The adapter is supported on the following software.
Operating systems:
- AIX 4.3.3, AIX 5.1, AIX 5.2
- Solaris 7.0, Solaris 8.0
- Windows 2000
Databases:
- DB2
- Oracle 8.1.7.4, Oracle 9.2
- Microsoft Access
Third-party software:
- iSoft Commerce Suite version 3.1
The adapter for iSoft requires the following software.
- For interoperability with iSoft Peer-to-Peer Agent, the
connector requires WebSphere MQ 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3.
- Note:
- The adapter does not support Secure Socket Layers (SSL) in
WebSphere MQ 5.3. Nor does support for WebSphere MQ 5.3 imply that
the adapter framework uses WebSphere MQ 5.3 to communicate with the
integration broker. For the WebSphere MQ software version
appropriate to adapter framework-integration broker communication,
see the Installation Guide for your platform.
- You must have the IBM WebSphere MQ Java client libraries,
version 5.2.2.
This adapter is not DBCS (double-byte character set)-enabled or
translated. 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 WebSphere MQ version 5.2). Doing so may avoid
unsupported encoding errors.
