Product fix history

Between releases 2.3.0 and 2.4.0, the following CRs, based on customer-reported cases, were fixed.
CR number Description
21831 The "readme" instructions included with the adapter samples do not reflect the latest tooling included with InterChange Server. Although the samples are valid, certain steps or instructions may not be accurate. Fixed in this release.
22341 The adapter fails to populate the meta-object with a correct inbound message ID during event notification. Fixed in 2.3.1
22345 The adapter fails to populate the meta-object with the correct priority of an inbound message during event notification. Fixed in 2.3.1.
22682 The adapter terminates when retrieving an empty message (this is expected behavior). It has been enhanced so that it now reports an error but continues processing. Fixed in 2.3.2
22691 The adapter fails to deliver a reply message to the requestor after synchronously posting an event to the broker; it reports that reply queue is undefined. Fixed in 2.3.2.
22716 The adapter fails to properly isolate meta-data when processing simultaneous requests for the same business object. The result is that the adapter may apply a single set of meta-data to multiple requests rather than use the unique meta-data specified for each request. Fixed in 2.3.2.
