6.6.42.6: Installing the Connector Architecture for WebSphere Application Server (J2C)

Before you can use this connectivity, you must install the Connector Architecture (J2C) runtime and at least one J2C (Beta) Resource Adapter.

Installing and uninstalling the Connector Architecture (J2C) runtime

After you have installed the base IBM WebSphere Application Server product, install the Connector Architecture (technology preview) runtime.

  1. Insert the WebSphere Application Server product CD and change to the root directory.
  2. From a command prompt, run the script:
    WebSphere/extras/techpreview/connector/installJ2C.bat|sh
    

Running the script will install the appropriate .jar files and modify any environment settings that are required to support the Connector Architecture (technology preview) runtime.

At the end of the installation process, the utility uninstallJ2C.bat is created in the product_installation_root directory. If you decide later to remove the J2C runtime from your IBM WebSphere Application Server environment, run this utility from a command prompt.

Installing the J2C (Beta) Resource Adapters

Note, the Resource Adapters are labeled "Beta" level, while the overall connectivity is at the "technical preview" level. This is primarily a terminology difference, in this particular case.

The following J2C (Beta) Resource Adapters are available for IBM WebSphere Application Server:

  • CICS Transaction Gateway (CTG) V4.0
  • ECI and EPI
  • IBM WebSphere Adapter for IMS 1.0
  • HOD Connector Architecture (J2C) 6.0
  • IBM WebSphere Adapter for mySAP.com V1.0
  • IBM WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft V1.0
  • IBM WebSphere Adapter for Oracle Applications V1.0
  • IBM WebSphere Adapter for J.D. Edwards V1.0

  All of these initial J2C Resource Adapters are either 0 Phase Commit (0PC) or 1 Phase Commit (1PC) capable connectors. None of these J2C Resource Adapters are 2 Phase Commit (2PC) XA capable.

To install a J2C (Beta) Resource Adapter, complete the following steps:

  1. Download the specific J2C (Beta) Resource Adapter package from the WebSphere Application Server Web site.
  2. Each of the J2C (Beta) Resource Adapters has its own documentation for installation.
  3. After the installation is complete, the J2C (Beta) Resource Adapter's archive files (.rar files) will be somewhere in the installation subdirectory structure.

Next, administer your J2C Resource Adapter, which will include identifying the location of the .rar file.
