See the following upgrade information pertaining to your integration broker:
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
lib\WBIA\4.2.0\WBIA.jar
bin\CWConnEnv.bat (Windows)
bin/CWConnEnv.sh (UNIX)
bin\CWODAEnv.bat (Windows)
bin/CWODAEnv.sh (UNIX)
connectors\messages\CwConnectorAgentMessages.txt
To enable an adapter to work with various versions of ADK or InterChange Server, follow the appropriate procedure below:
Windows: In CWConnEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to
4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
UNIX: In CWConnEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to
4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
Windows: In CWConnEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to
4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
UNIX: In CWConnEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
Windows: In bin\CWODAEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to
4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
UNIX: In bin/CWODAEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to
4.1.X:
set CWVERSION="4.1.X"
Windows: In bin\CWODAEnv.bat, set the CWVERSION variable to
4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
UNIX: In bin/CWODAEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to
4.2:
set CWVERSION="4.2"
The following problems have been found in this release:
Tracking number |
Description |
The event
notification module (FmCw.dll) verifies the
USERID of any Portal event sent to it (defined in the
pin_notify_cw file) to prevent events sent by the adapter from being
added to the event queue and sent back to the adapter (called
"ping-ponging").. If the module finds no PIN_FLD_USERID associated
with the event, it returns an error message and causes problems
saving the object online. The
\event\customer\billinfo is an event type where such a problem
exists. You can check for these errors in the log file defined in the crossworlds.cnf configuration file. Events with no USERID must be adjusted (f-lists or the storable classes) to include such an ID. All events sent to the module are listed in the pin_notify_cw configuration file, and they are compared with the constraints defined in the event_code.txt file. |
|
29107 | The event notification mechanism loses the Oracle connection after processing the first request. This issue has been fixed in Patch release 4.1.1. |
28568 | The events for Product Catalog cannot be supported, as the structure is slightly different than regular events of Infranet. The issue has been fixed in Patch release 4.1.1. |
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 a pre-2.4.0 version of the framework, change the reference from adapterEnv.sh to CWSharedEnv.sh in the connector_manager_adapter script. |
