Software AG is pleased to announce the availability of webMethods RosettaNet Module 7.1, the industry's leading RosettaNet solution. Built on the webMethods product suite, the RosettaNet Module enables high technology manufacturers and service providers to support the automated exchange of supply chain information with their trading partners in a scalable and secure way, even for the largest implementations.
The RosettaNet Module provides out of the box support for the RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) versions 1.1 and 2.0, as well as support for implementing all RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs) and their implementation guidelines, allowing you to incorporate new versions of PIPs quickly after release from RosettaNet without waiting for new releases of software. In addition to incorporating all existing RosettaNet and PIPTools maintenance, this release of the RosettaNet Module provides the benefits listed below.
RosettaNet Module 7.1 has been enhanced to support the latest business process management capabilities of the webMethods product suite, including the new, Eclipse-based business process development environment, webMethods Designer, and the run-time environment, Process Engine.
RosettaNet Module 7.1 includes 8 new business process templates for supporting 1-action and 2-action PIPs asynchronously and synchronously, for both RNIF 1.1 and 2.0. These templates make it easy to implement all of the RosettaNet PIPs in webMethods Designer.
For a list of all the changes and issues resolved since the last release, see the readme.txt file for webMethods RosettaNet Module on the webMethods software download site or in the directories in which you installed webMethods RosettaNet Module 7.1.
For information about previous releases of webMethods RosettaNet Module, see the release notes for those releases, below.
webMethods is pleased to announce the availability of the webMethods RosettaNet Module Version 6.0.1. In this release, the functionality of previous versions have been ported to the new webMethods 6.0.1 Integration Platform, which has now been officially certified through the RosettaNet Ready RNIF badging program. In the Fall of 2002, all RosettaNet Board members signed a letter indicating that, in looking for a RosettaNet solution, companies should first look to the list of companies that have been certified through the RosettaNet Ready program.
In February of 2003, webMethods' RNIF 2.0 implementation was officially certified through the RosettaNet Ready badging program. This ensures that, through 3rd party certification, webMethods is fully compliant with the RNIF 2.0 specification. The badging process involved over 190 test cases on all aspects of RNIF 2.0 support.
In webMethods 6.0.1, all components execution is managed through the Integration Server Process Run Time (PRT) engine. The previous Conversation Manager / Conversation Script run time has been migrated to the new universal PRT. Other advantages of this re-design:
Conversation Script parameters have been moved to the new TPA tab in Trading Networks, in lieu of the need for extended parameters. This design is more intuitive for users and provides and upgrade path, should RosettaNet decide to implement the use of Trading Partner Agreements as an official RosettaNet specification.
PIP Archive Record (PAR) files now consist of an NS record, document type and TPA parameters (vs. NS record, document type, and conversation scripts). The PIP tool has been modified to create these new PAR files and the PIP archive available for download will be converted to this format (note: the old PIP tools and archives will still be available for users of 4.x versions of the RosettaNet Module).
With Conversation Scripts/Conversation Manager no longer necessary, all PIPs process development now uses webMethods Modeler (formerly called Business Integrator). The Business Integrator samples and business model templates from previous versions have been updated for use with webMethods Modeler 6.0.1.
For details on the software and hardware required to run webMethods RosettaNet Module version 6.0.1, see the Installation Guide.
