1.0 Getting Started
The webMethods Chem eStandards Module Installation Guide Version
6.0.1 contains detailed instructions for installing and
configuring webMethods Chem eStandards Module.
webMethods Integration Server and webMethods Trading Networks
must be installed before you can install and run webMethods
Chem eStandards Module. For information about webMethods
Integration Server or webMethods Trading Networks, see the
readme files in the directory where you installed the
software.
2.0 Documentation
Documentation for webMethods Chem eStandards Module is located
in the \pub\doc directory of the WmChem package where you
installed the Integration Server. The following manuals are
provided as PDF files:
- webMethods Chem eStandards Module Installation Guide,
Version 6.0.1
- webMethods Chem eStandards Module User's Guide, Version 6.0.1
- webMethods Chem eStandards Module Sample Guide, Version 6.0.1
The following manual is provided as an HTML file:
- webMethods Chem eStandards Module Package Contents,
Version 6.0.1
An index.html file is located in the \pub directory of the
WmChem package where you installed the Integration Server. This
file provides links to release information, Chem eStandards
documentation, and other Chem eStandards related links.
To view the documentation supplied with this version of
webMethods Chem eStandards Module, you must have Adobe Acrobat
Reader 4.0 or later. You can download and install Acrobat Reader
4.0 from:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html
2.1 Documentation Corrections and Additions
None.
3.0 Known Problems and Limitations
The following are the known problems with the webMethods Chem
eStandards Module Version 6.0.1:
- When processing large documents, file system archiving is
turned off.
- Large document processing is not supported in a reverse proxy
environment.
- On the initiator side of a Chem transaction, the
conversation cannot be restarted from the first wait step.
4.0 Usage Notes
4.1 Clustering Capability Statement
During operation, webMethods Chem eStandards Module data is
written to the Integration Server repository as well as to the
database with which users connect to webMethods Trading
Networks. As such, the webMethods Chem eStandards Module is
clusterable, because the Integration Server repository is
clusterable and most commercial databases are clusterable.
However, because of the many different options and possible
architectures for clustering, webMethods is not recommending or
certifying a specific configuration at this time. Please
contact webMethods Professional Services for support in
architecting and implementing your webMethods Chem eStandards
Module clustering solution.
5.0 Globalization
The webMethods Chem eStandards Module Version 6.0.1 has not been
tested for conformance with the internationalization standards
of webMethods. This internal certification is planned for a
future release. Support for character encodings and locally
formatted data depend on functionality in the webMethods Trading
Networks and webMethods Integration Server products, which have
been certified. The Chem eStandards Module is therefore
supported for use in any locale and with any platform supported
character encoding.
If you expect to display non-English data in your webMethods
tools, you need to ensure that an appropriate font is installed
in your operating environment. You should test to see whether
hollow boxes or black squares appear where you would expect to
see non-English data, and if you see problems, modify your JRE
font.properties file to reference the font on your system. You
can find information about modifying your font.properties file
on Sun's Java website (for the JRE provided with this release,
see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/fontprop.html)
or refer to the document located at
http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html.
5.1 Database Configuration
The configuration of your Trading Networks database affects
which characters can be stored. If you select a non-Unicode
character encoding for your database, characters in your
documents that are not included in that encoding will be lost
when stored in the database; therefore, webMethods recommends
using a Unicode encoding for your database if possible. Please
refer to the webMethods Integration Platform Installation Guide
6.0.1 and to the Trading Networks Server 6.0.1 Readme
(Globalization section) for information about selecting the
encoding and driver to use with your specific database.
5.2 Known Globalization Limitations
This product has the following known globalization limitations
at release time:
- XML documents that use encodings other than UTF-8 and which
are posted via the WmTNWeb home page may be incorrectly
interpreted by older Integration Servers, especially B2B 4.0.2
servers that do not have the latest fixes and service packs
installed. Most normal Chem eStandards documents are not
affected by this. This problem can be avoided by removing the
XML document declaration from the beginning of the document
(that is, delete the text '<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="xxxx"?>').
6.0 Deprecated Components
None.
7.0 Fixes and Enhancements
7.1 Fixes in Chem eStandards Module 6.0.1
The following is a list of fixes for webMethods Chem eStandards
Module 4.6 that have been included in webMethods Chem eStandards
Module 6.0.1:
XML Namespace
Processing of XML documents with namespaces.
WmIPRoot_HttpAuth
Pass user authentication while invoking HTTP.
CreateReceiptAck
NonRepudiation information incorrectly mapped into ReceiptAck
when signature does not exist. Document Id and DateTimeStamp
mapped correctly to Receipt Ack for large documents.
TNProfileCertsForHTTPS
Use TN profile certificates for HTTPS connections.
StartNOFv1
Exit statement signaling failure was missing the from clause.
XMLToRecord
Incorrect check being done for "Receipt" in
wm.ip.util:XMLToRecord.
InstanceIdentifier
InstanceIdentifier is not the same in all the documents.
PreambleHeader
Preamble header is not available to the inboundMap step.
ContentId
Content Id in the body parts is not enclosed in the angle
brackets<>.
MultipleDUNS
The wm.ip.profile:getTPInfo service always returns primary DUNS
ID, even when another is specified.
VerifySignature
When multiple DUNS are specified for a partner, signature
verification MultipleDUNS is failing authentication of sender.
