This section lists the new installation features in IBM CrossWorlds version 4.0.0 and describes changes made to this guide since its last release (3.1.2).
All IBM CrossWorlds installation programs are now Java-based. In addition, this release introduces Java-based configuration wizards. These new programs and tools replace or consolidate previous Windows and UNIX installation programs, providing a consistent user interface across all IBM CrossWorlds-supported platforms. See Installing InterChange Server, XML data handler, e-Mail adapter, and other supporting products.
A separate installer has been developed for the Serverless Trading Agent (STA).
A separate installer has been developed for VisiBroker that installs only the runtime files.
SonicMQ Java Messaging Service (JMS) is now supported for use in an IBM CrossWorlds environment. See "Installing IBM WebSphere MQ".
IBM CrossWorlds 4.0.0 uses the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 1.3.1_02, which has been upgraded from version 1.2.2.
IBM CrossWorlds 4.0.0 uses VisiBroker version 4.5, which has been upgraded from version 3.4.3. This upgrade includes the following ORB property name changes:
VisiBroker 3.4 | VisiBroker 4.5 |
---|---|
OAipAddr | vbroker.se.iiop_tp.host |
OAport | vbroker.se.iiop_tp.scm.iiop_tp.listener.port |
OAthreadMaxIdle | vbroker.se.iiop_tp.scm.iiop_tp.dispatcher.threadMaxIdle |
OAthreadMax | vbroker.se.iiop_tp.scm.iiop_tp.dispatcher.threadMax |
ORBagentAddr | vbroker.agent.addr |
ORBagentPort | vbroker.agent.port |
ORBbackCompat | vbroker.orb.enableNullString |
In addition, the OSAGENT_CLIENT_HANDLER_PORT replaces both OSAGENT_CLIENT_HANDLER_UDP_PORT and OSAGENT_CLIENT_HANDLER_TCP_PORT.
You cannot upgrade to 4.0.0 if you still have Mercator maps.
CrossWorlds 4.0.0 runs with MQSeries 5.2. Version 5.1 is no longer supported.
