**** ATTENTION ****

Current ALE Module users ONLY: This version of the adapter manages ALE transaction id's and IDocs using MQ Series.  As a result, it is imperative that you allow the current IDoc processing cycle to complete before applying this patch.  Temporarily halt the transmission of IDocs both to and from the adapter and verify that there are no IDocs (files) in the following directories when you upgrade:

CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\events 

CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\wip

Also verify that any failed or unsubscribed IDocs (files) in the following directory have been reviewed, corrected and re-processed:

CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\archive

Once all IDocs (files) complete successfully, apply the upgrade and follow the new configuration instructions in the documentation.  For further details, please refer to the adapter guide.

**** ATTENTION ****
