INTRODUCTION This is a new PTF for the product number 5648B3006, MERVA Automatic Message Import/Export Facility (MIE). MIE is a software product for message transfer using files between the MERVA system and other message-processing systems. Note: This PTF was built to support Windows Server 2008. 2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS MIE requires - Windows Server 2008 The use of "License Use Runtime" has been switched off. 2.1. Using WebSphere MQ If WebSphere MQ is used to communicate with the remote MERVA system, then WebSphere MQ (Server) for Windows V7.0 or a subsequent release is required. The server on which MERVA is running must be MERVA ESA V4.1 or a subsequent release. Note: Since MIE's unit of work are message files, a transaction is not committed until the unit of work has reached a defined state. Therefore, the size of the WebSphere MQ log area should be set according to the maximum number of messages that a file can contain. The MIE configuration parameters for setting the above are CMEMIE_EX_MMIF and CMEMIE_EX_TOUT. The WebSphere MQ parameter MAXUMSGS (maximum number of uncommitted messages within a syncpoint) must also be set correspondingly. 3. Fixed APAR's 3.1. Fixed APAR's in the PTF UI26252 3.1.1. APAR PI37745 MIE SUPPORT ON WINDOWS SERVER 2008 PROBLEM SUMMARY: MIE cannot be installed on Windows Server 2008. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: Change installation process to allow Windows Server 2008 as a valid target system. 4. Installation To install this PTF no previous MIE V4.20 installation is required.
