Adapter environment

Before installing, configuring, and using the adapter, you must understand its environment requirements.

Adapter platforms

The adapter runs on the following platforms:

Adapter standards

The adapter supports the following standard.

SWIFTAlliance Access

The SWIFTAlliance Access gateway is a window through which SWIFT messages flow to and from remote financial applications over IP. The connector supports SWIFTAlliance Access 5.0.

Locale-dependent data

The connector has been internationalized so that it can support double-byte character sets and deliver message text in the specified language. When the connector 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 run-time 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.

To log error and informational messages in the appropriate language and for the appropriate country or territory, configure the Locale standard configuration property for your environment. For more information on configuration properties, see Appendix A, "Standard configuration properties for connectors".
