This adapter runs with the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter FrameworkV2.6 and requires the integration broker, InterChange Server Express.
The adapter for i2 is supported only on the Windows 2000 platform. In addition, the i2 adapter cannot be installed via Adapter Capacity Pack 4.4. because this capacity pack only supports the installation for Windows 2003.
Therefore, to install the i2 adapter from Adapter Capacity Pack 4.4 on Windows 2000, you must use the following command: setupwin32.exe -W invalidPlatform.active=false
where setupwin32.exe is the Adapter Capacity Pack executable.
At the feature selection panel, select i2 and proceed with the installation.
The WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Adapter for i2 also requires the following hardware and software:
The connector has been internationalized so that it can support delivery of double-byte character sets (DBCS) going into an interface that also supports 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 set. Unicode contains encodings for characters in most known character code sets (both single-byte and multi-byte). Most components in the WebSphere business integration system are written in java; therefore, when data is transferred between most integration components, there is no need for character conversion.
