Before you start

This tutorial is a step-by-step guide that you can use to create IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender maps that use WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 Design Studio and a WebSphere Integration Developer V6.1 configuration environment for use with the WebSphere Transformation Extender data binding, JMS, and WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files.

In this tutorial, you use the WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 data binding to integrate WebSphere Process Server V6.1 with the application using JMS. You'll configure a JMS export to read JMS messages in the delimited format from a JMS queue and use the WebSphere Transformation Extender data binding to transform them into the Customer Business Object. You'll also configure a JMS import to use the WebSphere Transformation Extender data binding to transform a Customer Business Object into delimited data and write a JMS messages to a JMS queue.

This tutorial series assists architects, system administrators, or developers that need to develop WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus or WebSphere Process Server modules that invoke WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.x maps using the WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and WebSphere Process Server V6.1 WebSphere Transformation Extender Data Binding.

Objectives

When you have completed this document, you'll understand how to create and test a WebSphere Process Server module that uses WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.1, WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files, and the WebSphere Transformation Extender Data Binding to transform data between delimited and XML formats.

Prerequisites

You should have completed the first part of this tutorial series, Using WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 with WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB V6.1, Part 1 (see the Resources section).

The following prerequisites should be installed prior to beginning this document:

• WebSphere Integration Developer V6.1 with all current iFixes installed
• WebSphere Process Server V6.1 User Test Environment with all current iFixes installed
• WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 Design Studio with all current iFixes
• WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 “for Integration Servers” with all current iFixes

WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 Installation notes

This tutorial series assumes that WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 Design Studio and WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 “for Integration Servers” have been installed on the same machine as WebSphere Integration Developer V6.1

The classes used by WebSphere Process Server V6.1 at runtime to invoke WebSphere Transformation Extender Maps are not shipped with either WebSphere Process Server or the WebSphere Transformation Extender Design Studio. They are shipped only with WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 “for Integration Servers”. During the installation of WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 “for Integration Servers” the com.ibm.wtx.runtime_8.2.0.jar file is copied into the <WID_Install_Path>\runtimes\bi_v61\plugins directory.

If this file has not been copied by the WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 “for Integration Servers” Installer, you must copy the file manually from the <WTXInstallPath> directory. The WebSphere Process Server server must be restarted in order to load this library for use.
