These Release notes cover release information for the IBM(R) WebSphere(R) Business Integration Collaboration for UCCnet(R) Item Synchronization, the main component of the Item Synchronization for Suppliers solution. It contains the following sections:
With this release, IBM is simplifying and streamlining its portfolio of collaborations and expanding its licensing terms.
For existing customers, IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations offers continuity in the packaging of collaborations for the retail distribution industry.
At the same time, IBM is consolidating existing collaborations into functional solutions. Customers will now be better able to solve a particular business integration problem by selecting industry-specific or cross-industry collaborations that address that problem. IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations for UCCnet Item Synchronization Version 4.3.1 reflects this reorganization.
Systems supporting the UCCnet Document Type Definition (DTD) only (such as those using IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations V4.2.x), are not upward-compatible with systems supporting both the UCCnet Document Type Definition (DTD) and UCCnet XML Schema Definition (XSD) (such as those based on IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations V4.2.1.1 and later).
The IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaboration for UCCnet Item Synchronization is made up of several collaboration templates designed to synchronize item information in compliance with UCCnet standards. The collaboration templates are used to maintain the consistency of the supplier's item information in UCCnet, and to ensure that the information is kept current with the most recent data in the supplier's application.
The repository files for the WebSphere InterChange Server have been updated to the WebSphere InterChange Server 4.2.1 format.
For instructions on obtaining and installing the software, see the Installation guide.
