For Integration Server 6.5, webMethods ebXML Module 6.0.1 Service Pack 1 requires TNS_6-5_Fix7 or equivalent fix.
This service pack is supported on all platforms on which webMethods ebXML Module 6.0.1 is supported.
To install this service pack, use webMethods Installer. You must install the service pack on the same machine as webMethods ebXML Module 6.0.1. If you do not already have webMethods ebXML Module 6.0.1 installed, you can install it at the same time as you install the service pack.
This section only provides instructions that pertain to installing the service pack. For complete instructions on using the webMethods Installer, see the webMethods Installation Guide.
1.If you already have Integration Server 6.0.1, 6.1, or 6.5 installed and it is running, shut it down before installing the service pack.
2.If you already have webMethods Installer 6.5, start the Installer. If not, download the webMethods Installer from the webMethods Advantage Web site and start the Installer.
3.During the install process, the Installer prompts you for an installation directory. If you already have Integration Server and webMethods ebXML Module 6.0.1 installed on the machine, select your existing webMethods installation directory. If you are installing the Service Pack and Integration Server at the same time, specify an installation directory for webMethods software (the default is webMethods6).
4.In the component selection list, navigate to the eStandards list. Expand the webMethods ebXML Module and select the service pack for the webMethods ebXML Module to install.
5.Start Integration Server.
The webMethods ebXML 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.
Using this version of the webMethods ebXML Module with non-standard character encodings (discussed below) and operation in locales other than U.S. English should be reliable because the standard ebXML headers do not require significant amounts of non-ASCII data. However, care should be taken when deploying this product in non-English locales.
- The components on which the webMethods ebXML Module is dependent (webMethods for Trading Networks, webMethods Integration Server, and webMethods Developer) have been certified and tested for international support. Users should refer to the Globalization section of those products' readme.txt files for information about the limitations of those products before using the webMethods ebXML Module in an international environment.
- The default character encoding for ebXML envelopes, as defined by the emXML and XML 1.0 standards, is Unicode UTF-8. Although the underlying webMethods components that process the envelope support XML character encoding declarations correctly, this has not been tested in conjunction with the webMethods ebXML Module. Attempts to process ebXML envelopes that use other character encodings may not work correctly. As a result, emXML envelopes in character encodings other than UTF-8 are not supported.
- Each ebXML payload is handled as separate multi-part MIME content and is not processed directly by the webMethods ebXML Module. Instead it is passed as a byte stream to or from your service or application along with the MIME headers associated with it. Support for character encodings rests, therefore, entirely with your process model, application or Integration Server service. The MIME Content-Type will determine how each payload block should be processed. When working with textual data, setting the character encoding (charset) is an important way to ensure that the content is properly processed by the receiver. Please refer to the Integration Server and Developer user's guides and readme files for more information about working with character encodings in the webMethods components.
This service pack has no impact on the globalization level of webMethods ebXML Module 6.0.1.
This service pack does not require an updated language pack.
- It can be installed on products with language pack(s) installed.
- Language packs can be installed on a product that has this service pack installed.
- This service pack contains new messages and these messages will appear in English, even on systems with installed language packs, until webMethods makes an updated language pack available and it is installed.
