Different versions of the Message Brokers Toolkit

The Message Brokers Toolkit is available at two different levels:

If you want to use WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version 5.0 with WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition Version 5.1, install Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1. However, if you want to use WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version 5.0 with WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition Version 5.0, you must not install Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1, because Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 is not compatible with earlier versions of WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition.

Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 works with the same level of the runtime components as Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.0.

See Upgrading to Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 for migration considerations you must take into account before you upgrade to Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1.

You can obtain Message Brokers Toolkit Version 5.1 from the Passport Advantage web site.
