Edit online

About this task

This section explains how to upgrade webMethods Module for FIX and migrate packages from webMethods Module for FIX 6.5 to webMethods Module for FIX 7.2 for users of an implementation of webMethods Module for FIX 6.5 using Trading Networks.

Users with an implementation of webMethods Module for FIX 6.5 without Trading Networks and customized settings must uninstall webMethods Module for FIX and reinstall it as a new installation by following the procedure described in Installing webMethods webMethods Module for FIX.

webMethods Module for FIX 7.2 introduces several changes to the module’s design. Therefore, as part of the upgrade procedure, you must complete the configuration sub-steps described in this section to use webMethods Module for FIX 7.2 successfully.

Before you begin the upgrade process, read the entire procedure to understand changes in the module’s design. When you install webMethods Module for FIX 7.2, all existing IS document type documents will be overwritten. If you have modified any of the IS document types, for example, by adding new fields, in your webMethods Module for FIX 6.5 WmFIXMessages package, and you want to keep these custom fields, after installing webMethods Module for FIX 7.2, you must modify the corresponding IS document types installed with the WmFIXMessages 7.2 package. For more information about using custom fields, see Creating Custom Fields.

About this task

To upgrade and migrate from webMethods Module for FIX 6.5 to webMethods Module for FIX 7.2

Procedure

  1. Back up your existing WmFIX, WmFIXMessages, and WmFIXForTN 6.5 package installation and back up your webMethods databases according to your RDBMS vendor’s instructions.
  2. Uninstall webMethods Module for FIX 6.5. For instructions, see the IBM webMethods FIX Module Installation and User's Guide version 6.5.
  3. Install webMethods Module for FIX 7.2 as described in Installing webMethods Module for FIX.

Edit online

About this task

In webMethods Module for FIX 6.5, connections to the Appia engine were manually configured in the Appia configuration file (appia.cnf). In webMethods Module for FIX 7.2, connections to the Appia engine are configured instead through My webMethods. Therefore, you must reconfigure your Appia connections. For more information, see Configuring IBM webMethods Module for FIX.

Step 3: Reconfigure Outbound Mapping Services

Edit online

About this task

In webMethods Module for FIX 6.5, to send a message to a trading partner, it was necessary to complete a multi-step configuration process:
  • Create an outbound mapping service to map an internally-generated message (from a back-end system) to a bizdoc and invoke the fix.tn.doc:addContentPart service.
  • Create a processing rule for the IS document type and configure the processing action:
    • Invoking the outbound mapping service in the Execute Service option.
    • Using FIX Transport as the Deliver Document By option.

In webMethods Module for FIX 7.2, sending a message to a trading partner is much simpler. The fix.tn.doc:addContentPart service has been replaced by the wm.fix.tn.trp:send service, which transforms messages into FIX format and sends them to the FIX engine. Also, webMethods Module for FIX 7.2 does not require you to define a processing rule. Therefore, you must update your outbound mapping services that invoked fix.tn.doc:addContentPart in webMethods Module for FIX 6.5 to now invoke wm.fix.tn.trp:send instead.

To update the mapping of outbound services

Procedure

  1. In My webMethods, delete the processing rule that is configured in the processing rule Action, Deliver Document By option.
    For information about using processing rules, see the IBM webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
  2. In Designer, change the mapping of any services that call fix.tn.doc:addContentPart, instead, mapping the IS document directly to the fixIData input field of the wm.fix.tn.trp:send service.

    For complete information about mapping services, see the IBM webMethods Service Development Help for your release.

Step 4: Change IS Document Field Names
