ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION
1. To enable the MQ Security Exit (CR58998) for the adapter:
- Launch
Connector Configurator then set the type of 'DeliveryTransport' to 'JMS'
- Input the class name MQ Security Exit as the last element using
this format:
'queue_manager_name:channel_name:host_name:port_number:mq_security_exit_name'
- Put the class MQ Security Exit in the library path or extend the
path of the adapter
- When the adapter is launched, the MQ Security Exit will be invoked. If MQ Security Exit cannot be found, this feature will be treated as disabled.
Note: Because MQ Security Exit applies to queue
manager, products do not support MQ Security Exit feature should not use the
same queue manager as Adapter Framework.
1. To use the BO trace (CR59316) feature:
1) Enable 'BOTrace' property:
- Users of ICS or a standalone broker may use the '-x' parameter in the agent start script to configure the 'BOTrace' property if the patch for the Connector Configurator is not available; for example '-xBOTrace=Full'.
- If the patch for Connector Configurator patch is available, the user can configure the 'BOTrace' property in Connector Configurator.
2) The 'BOTrace' values are as follows:
When 'AgentTraceLevel' is 5, the property 'BOTrace' is not available.
When 'AgentTraceLevel' is lower than 5:
- Set 'BOTrace' to 'Full' to dump all the BO's attributes.
- Set 'BOTrace' to 'Keys' to dump only the BO's keys.
- Set 'BOTrace' to 'None' to disable BO attribute dumping.
2.
To support no namespace
BO(CR37590)
If the “no” option was not available for the property XMLNameSpaceFormat in Connector Configurator, the user should edit the Connector Configuration file manually, as described below. (It should be added in the WebSphere Business Integration (WBI) Toolset version 4.3.0.1)
- Open the Connector Configuration file in a text editor.
- Locate the “XMLNameSpaceFormat” property by searching. Here is an example:
<tns:property>
<tns:name>XMLNameSpaceFormat</tns:name>
<tns:type>String</tns:type>
<tns:subtype></tns:subtype>
<tns:value xml:space="preserve">short</tns:value>
<tns:description>Supports short and long name spaces in the BO's XML doc on the wire.</tns:description>
- Replace the value “short” or “long” by “no”, as follows:
<tns:property>
<tns:name>XMLNameSpaceFormat</tns:name>
<tns:type>String</tns:type>
<tns:subtype></tns:subtype>
<tns:value xml:space="preserve">no</tns:value>
<tns:description>Supports short and long namespaces in the BO's XML doc on the wire.</tns:description>
3.
AIX 5.3 supporting:
WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Framework has supported AIX 5.3 since version 2.6.0.2.
4. To enable Adapter Monitor to support the MQ Security Exit feature(CR58998):
- Put the class MQ Security Exit into the directory <AF Installer>\Tools\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.btools.adaptermonitor\lib.
- Modify the Adapter Monitor's plug-in manifest file plugin.xml which resides in the directory <AF Installer>\Tools\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.btools.adaptermonitor. In the <runtime> segment, add a library name entry for MQ Security Exit.
For example, suppose MyMQExit.zip includes this class. Add the following library name entry to the <runtime> segment of plugin.xml.
<library name="lib\MyMQExit.zip"/>
5.
To enable the
enhancement(CR66866) with MQ DeliveryTransport for
the adapter:
A new command line parameter 'WhenServerAbsent' is incorporated to indicate whether the adapter with MQ transport should pause or shut down when ICS is killed. ICS users may use the '-x' parameter in the agent start script to configure the 'WhenServerAbsent' property; for example:
-xWhenServerAbsent=shutdown //Adapter
with MQ transport will shut down if ICS is not available
-xWhenServerAbsent=pause //Adapter with MQ transport will pause if ICS is not
available
If the option is not set, the adapter will keep polling by default
