Before installing, configuring, and using the adapter, you must understand its environment requirements. They are listed in the following sections.
The adapter framework used must be compatible with the version of the integration broker with which the adapter is communicating. The 4.3.1 version of the adapter for Lotus Domino is supported on the following adapter framework and integration brokers:
Adapter framework: Adapter Framework, version 4.3.1
Integration brokers: InterChange Server Express, version 4.3.1
See the Release Notes for any exceptions.
This adapter is supported on the following software:
Operating systems:
Databases: Lotus Domino
Third-party software: Domino Server, version R6 (6.0.2 and above).
The adapter for WebSphere Commerce has the following dependency: Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) Standard Edition version 1.3.1 or later.
For instructions on installing InterChange Server Express and its prerequisites see the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Installation Guide.
For information on installing Domino server, refer to the installation information provided with your Lotus Domino software.
The adapter has been internationalized so that it can support double-byte character sets, and deliver message text in the specified language. When the adapter transfers data from a location that uses one character code set to a location that uses a different code set, it performs character conversion to preserve the meaning of the data.
The Java runtime environment within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) represents data in the Unicode character code set. Unicode contains encodings for characters in most known character code sets (both single-byte and multibyte). Most components in the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express system are written in Java. Therefore, when data is transferred between most WebSphere Business Integration Server Express system components, there is no need for character conversion.
