Hardware and software requirements are included in the product documentation. See Installation, migration, upgrade, and configuration information for links to those guides.
Whether you are installing the software from the CD or downloading it from Passport Advantage and installing it from a local directory, refer to the appropriate guide:
Make sure that you run adapters with WebSphere Business Integration Adapters (WBIA) run-time version 1.5.0 or later.
To check the version of WBIA 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: 1.5.0
Implementation version indicates the current version of WBIA API.
If the version is not 1.5.0 or later, you must download the latest WBIA run time.
To download the latest version of the WBIA run time:
After you download and install the 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
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.X.
set CWVERSION="4.X"
UNIX: In CWConnEnv.sh, set the CWVERSION variable to 4.X.
set CWVERSION="4.X"
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 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"
The event notification module (FmCw.dll) verifies the USERID of any Portal event sent to it (defined in the pin_notify_cw file). If the module finds no PIN_FLD_USERID associated with the event, it returns an error and causes problems saving the object online. 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. The \event\customer\billinfo is an event type where such a problem exists.
The event notification module verifies the USERID to prevent events sent by the adapter from being added to the event queue and sent back to the adapter (called ping-ponging).
