For information about webMethods Integration Server or webMethods Trading Networks, see the readme files in the directory where you installed the software. 2.0 Documentation Documentation for webMethods Chem eStandards Module is located in the \pub\doc directory of the WmChem package where you installed the Integration Server. The following manuals are provided as PDF files: - webMethods Chem eStandards Module Installation Guide, Version 6.0.1 - webMethods Chem eStandards Module User's Guide, Version 6.0.1 - webMethods Chem eStandards Module Sample Guide, Version 6.0.1 The following manual is provided as an HTML file: - webMethods Chem eStandards Module Package Contents, Version 6.0.1 An index.html file is located in the \pub directory of the WmChem package where you installed the Integration Server. This file provides links to release information, Chem eStandards documentation, and other Chem eStandards related links. To view the documentation supplied with this version of webMethods Chem eStandards Module, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or later. You can download and install Acrobat Reader 4.0 from: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html 2.1 Documentation Corrections and Additions None. 3.0 Known Problems and Limitations The following are the known problems with the webMethods Chem eStandards Module Version 6.0.1: - When processing large documents, file system archiving is turned off. - Large document processing is not supported in a reverse proxy environment. - On the initiator side of a Chem transaction, the conversation cannot be restarted from the first wait step. 4.0 Usage Notes 4.1 Clustering Capability Statement During operation, webMethods Chem eStandards Module data is written to the Integration Server repository as well as to the database with which users connect to webMethods Trading Networks. As such, the webMethods Chem eStandards Module is clusterable, because the Integration Server repository is clusterable and most commercial databases are clusterable. However, because of the many different options and possible architectures for clustering, webMethods is not recommending or certifying a specific configuration at this time. Please contact webMethods Professional Services for support in architecting and implementing your webMethods Chem eStandards Module clustering solution. 5.0 Globalization The webMethods Chem eStandards Module Version 6.0.1 has not been tested for conformance with the internationalization standards of webMethods. This internal certification is planned for a future release. Support for character encodings and locally formatted data depend on functionality in the webMethods Trading Networks and webMethods Integration Server products, which have been certified. The Chem eStandards Module is therefore supported for use in any locale and with any platform supported character encoding. If you expect to display non-English data in your webMethods tools, you need to ensure that an appropriate font is installed in your operating environment. You should test to see whether hollow boxes or black squares appear where you would expect to see non-English data, and if you see problems, modify your JRE font.properties file to reference the font on your system. You can find information about modifying your font.properties file on Sun's Java website (for the JRE provided with this release, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/fontprop.html) or refer to the document located at http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html. 5.1 Database Configuration The configuration of your Trading Networks database affects which characters can be stored. If you select a non-Unicode character encoding for your database, characters in your documents that are not included in that encoding will be lost when stored in the database; therefore, webMethods recommends using a Unicode encoding for your database if possible. Please refer to the webMethods Integration Platform Installation Guide 6.0.1 and to the Trading Networks Server 6.0.1 Readme (Globalization section) for information about selecting the encoding and driver to use with your specific database. 5.2 Known Globalization Limitations This product has the following known globalization limitations at release time: - XML documents that use encodings other than UTF-8 and which are posted via the WmTNWeb home page may be incorrectly interpreted by older Integration Servers, especially B2B 4.0.2 servers that do not have the latest fixes and service packs installed. Most normal Chem eStandards documents are not affected by this. This problem can be avoided by removing the XML document declaration from the beginning of the document (that is, delete the text ''). 6.0 Deprecated Components None. 7.0 Fixes and Enhancements 7.1 Fixes in Chem eStandards Module 6.0.1 The following is a list of fixes for webMethods Chem eStandards Module 4.6 that have been included in webMethods Chem eStandards Module 6.0.1: XML Namespace Processing of XML documents with namespaces. WmIPRoot_HttpAuth Pass user authentication while invoking HTTP. CreateReceiptAck NonRepudiation information incorrectly mapped into ReceiptAck when signature does not exist. Document Id and DateTimeStamp mapped correctly to Receipt Ack for large documents. TNProfileCertsForHTTPS Use TN profile certificates for HTTPS connections. StartNOFv1 Exit statement signaling failure was missing the from clause. XMLToRecord Incorrect check being done for "Receipt" in wm.ip.util:XMLToRecord. InstanceIdentifier InstanceIdentifier is not the same in all the documents. PreambleHeader Preamble header is not available to the inboundMap step. ContentId Content Id in the body parts is not enclosed in the angle brackets<>. MultipleDUNS The wm.ip.profile:getTPInfo service always returns primary DUNS ID, even when another is specified. VerifySignature When multiple DUNS are specified for a partner, signature verification MultipleDUNS is failing authentication of sender. 7.2 Added Services in Chem eStandards Module 6.0.1 wm.ip.archive:getPackageInfo (formerly wm.ip.packages:getVersion) wm.ip.archive:createExportArchive wm.ip.cm.handlers:done wm.ip.cm:waitStepInit wm.ip.cm.handlers:error wm.ip.cm:processDocument wm.ip.cm:startConversation wm.ip.util:copyIData wm.ip.util:addAttachment wm.ip.profile:getInternalIDs wm.ip.profile:getTPAInfo wm.ip.rn:receive wm.ip.rnif11.trp.maps:mapNOF wm.ip.rnif11.trp.maps:mapPreambleHeader wm.ip.rnif11.trp:inboundValidation wm.ip.rnif11.util:persistRNIF11BizDoc wm.ip.rnif11.trp:startNOFv1 wm.ip.rnif11.trp:validateHeader wm.ip.rnif11.util:createRNO 7.3 Removed Services in Chem eStandards Module 6.0.1 wm.ip.cm.handlers:end wm.ip.cm.handlers:start wm.ip.cm:deleteByStatus wm.ip.cm:deleteDone wm.ip.cm:editScript wm.ip.cm:editScript2 wm.ip.cm:getScriptInfo wm.ip.cm:viewScript wm.ip.cm:viewScript2 Entire wm.ip.dictionary folder - wm.ip.dictionary:addCategory - wm.ip.dictionary:addDictionary - wm.ip.dictionary:addEntry - wm.ip.dictionary:createAndAddEntry - wm.ip.dictionary:createEntry - wm.ip.dictionary:deleteCategory - wm.ip.dictionary:deleteDictionary - wm.ip.dictionary:getEntry - wm.ip.dictionary:deleteEntry - wm.ip.dictionary:listCategories - wm.ip.dictionary:listDictionaries - wm.ip.dictionary:listEntries - wm.ip.dictionary:validateEntry Entire wm.ip.doc folder ­ wm.ip.doc:insertIPDocType ­ wm.ip.doc:persistIPDoc Entire wm.ip.log folder - wm.ip.log:getLog Entire wm.ip.packages folder - wm.ip.packages:getVersion (moved to wm.ip.archive:getPackageInfo) wm.ip.profile:addExtendedField wm.ip.profile:addGroup wm.ip.profile:getExtendedFields wm.ip.profile:getProcessInfo wm.ip.profile:getTPInfo Entire wm.ip.smtp.email folder - wm.ip.smtp.email:smtp wm.ip.util:archive wm.ip.util:getBytesFromStream wm.ip.util:getPartnerInfo wm.ip.util:persistParts wm.ip.util:secondToDate Entire wm.ip.rnif11.cm folder - wm.ip.rnif11.cm:getScriptTimeouts - wm.ip.rnif11.cm:setScriptTimeouts Entire wm.ip.rnif11.profile folder - wm.ip.rnif11.profile:addExtendedFields - wm.ip.rnif11.profile:getPreferredProtocol - wm.ip.rnif11.profile:getTPAInfo - wm.ip.rnif11.profile:overrideRNIF11ExtendedFields wm.b2b.rn.sample.company1.maps.outbound:PORequest1_4 wm.b2b.rn.sample.company1.inbound:POAcceptance1_4 wm.b2b.rn.sample.company2.maps.outbound:POAcceptance1_4 wm.b2b.rn.sample.company2.maps.inbound:PORequest1_4 wm.b2b.rn.sample.handler:end 7.4 Changes in Chem eStandards Module 6.0.1 None. 8.0 Copyright Information 8.1 webMethods webMethods Administrator, webMethods Broker, webMethods Developer, webMethods Installer, webMethods Integration Server, webMethods Mainframe, webMethods Manager, webMethods Modeler, webMethods Monitor, webMethods Trading Networks, webMethods Workflow, and the webMethods logo are trademarks of webMethods, Inc.
