Enhancements

The IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations for Consumer Products Item Synchronization 4.4.0 Fix Pack 3 includes changes to business objects, maps to support the UCCnet Network Release 1.0. Use of some UCCnet Network Release 1.0 functionality enhancements requires XML schema processing capabilities, which is enforced by the Trading Partner registration of a capability for XSD. Refer to the UCCnet Network Release 1.0.0 Community Update document for more details.

The changes described here are derived from the UCCnet Network v1.0 Release Notes and UCCnet Network v1.0 schema definitions. In keeping with the design philosophy of the WBI Retail Collaborations, every effort has been made to mask the changes to the UCCnet Services messages from the applications which reside above the Retail Collaboration layer. To this end, changes to the GBO’s, i.e. Retail_Item BO, were minimized by mapping the UCCnet changes into the existing BO’s wherever possible.

In summary the enhancements include:

-        Updated UCCnetXSD business objects and mapping to support the new XSD message structure, which includes a ‘hook’ area within the Trade Item schema. This area will contain the currently supported extensions when passed through UCCnet Network Services.

-        Multiple extensions attributes of differing types  can now be sent on a single GLN forwarded to any recipient.

-        FMCG extension attributes have been extracted from the data contained in the UCCnet 1.3 Trade Item in order to support the separate GDSN FMCG extension.

-        Added the Lowes extension business objects and mappings to support the new Lowe’s extension.

-        Fix for getting error codes and description from recursive subdocumentValid elements in Error Response

Files included in this Fix Pack: 

Business Object  changes: 

 

Map  changes: 

Collaboration Template changes:

The above business objects, maps, and collaboration templates contain the modifications necessary to support the addition of new Lowe’s extension, the support of the new ‘hook’ area within the Trade Item schema, the support of multiple extensions on a single GLN, and separated FMCG extension attributes from the data contained in the UCCnet 1.3 Trade Item. 

UCCnet_processWorklist collaboration was modified to get error codes and description from recursive subdocumentValid elements in direct Error Response.

Installation Instructions

Before installing this Fix Pack, backup all affected business objects, maps, and collaboration templates. Please see the installation instructions in the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations for Consumer Products Item Synchronization 4.4.0 for reference, as needed.

  1. Using the WebSphere Business Integration tooling, System Manager, import each of the unzipped .jar files into the appropriate Integration Component Library (ICL).  For ease of deployment, import the jar files into an ICL that already contains the full Item Synchronization product.  You should preserve an ICL in your System Manager containing the previous complete installation version of the Item Sync product as a backup.  Components in the fix pack jar files with the same names will overwrite the existing components in the ICL receiving the import.
  2. Any custom modifications previously made to any of the business objects, maps, or templates will need to be made to the new imported versions of those objects.
  3. Compile all the maps and collaboration templates in the ICL containing the fix pack
  4. If necessary, restart the target ICS server in design mode. (The ICS server must be running in design mode in order to delete the maps)
  5. Stop and delete all the maps running in the target ICS server
  6. Stop all running collaboration objects
  7. Deploy all the business objects from the ICL containing the fix pack objects to the target ICS server
  8. Deploy and compile all the maps from the ICL containing the fix pack objects to the target ICS server
  9. Deploy and compile the 3 updated collaboration templates from the ICL containing the fix pack objects to the target ICS server
  10. Restart the target ICS in the desired mode (design or production)
  11. Verify that all the collaboration objects and maps are running on the target ICS server

 

To uninstall this Fix Pack, follow these steps:

 

  1. If you have deployed any of the business objects, maps, or collaboration templates from the fix pack to the IBM WebSphere Interchange Server repository, stop all of the running maps and collaboration objects, using the System Manager toolset.
  2. Delete all of the business objects (except for the business objects with names which begin with MO_), maps, and collaboration templates from the target Interchange Server repository using the System Manager.
  3. If desired, delete the ICL from the System Manager containing the fix pack components.
  4. Deploy the business objects, maps, and collaboration templates to the target ICS server from the backup System Manager ICL containing the previous, full version of the Item Synchronization product.
