Installing webMethods PIP Tools Service Pack 1
1. Download the webMethods Installer from the webMethods
Advantage Web site at http://advantage.webmethods.com.
2. If you are installing the Service Pack on an existing
installation of the Integration Server, shut down the server
if it is running.
3. Start the webMethods Installer and follow the instructions in
the wizard.
4. Choose the webMethods platform version. If you are installing
the Service Pack on an existing installation of the
Integration Server, be sure to choose the same version of the
webMethods platform as the existing installation of the
Integration Server. Specify the webMethods Integration
Platform installation directory (by default, webMethods6).
5. In the component selection list, navigate to webMethods
Integration Platform > eStandards > webMethods RosettaNet
Module > Service Pack 1, and then select PIPTools.

7.0 Cautions and Warnings
- RN_6-0-1_Fix5 must be installed for webMethods RosettaNet 6.0.1
to use Modular PIPs successfully.
- Re-importing a Modular PIP using the new Modular PIP Import
tool provided by webMethods PIP Tools Service Pack 1 will not
overwrite the TN Document Types, but it will overwrite the
default TPAs.
- Exporting a Modular PIP using the PIP Export tool will not
completely export all of the referenced schemas for that PIP. The
Modular PIP IS Documents contain referenced schemas in the
/Pip and /Common folders of the WmRNPips package. The RosettaNet
PIP Export tool does not currently export these referenced
schemas, so the exported PIP will contain only the PIP IS
Document Type and not its referenced schemas. If you want to move
an entire Modular PIP from one Integration Server to another, you
must copy the /Pip and /Common folders from the WmRNPips package
namespace on the first Integration Server and paste them into the
WmRNPips package namespace on the other Integration Server.
- If the IS Document for a Modular PIP is moved from a 6.x
Integration Server to a 4.x Integration Server, the rootTag of
the corresponding TN Document Types should be changed to reflect
the Modular PIP's IS Document Name. To do so:
1) In Developer for the 4.x Integration Server, browse to the
PIP that you copied, and copy the name of the PIP IS
document.
2) In Trading Networks for the 4.x Integration Server, open the
appropriate PIP TN Document Type, paste the PIP IS document
name into the "roottag" field, and save the TN Document
Type.
8.0 Globalization
webMethods PIP Tools Service Pack 1 conforms to the
internationalization standards of webMethods and includes support
for operation in any country, locale, or language. Support for
character encodings and proper formatting, display, and
validation of data (such as number and date formats) has been
provided throughout the webMethods PIP Tools.
webMethods PIP Tools is fully compliant with the requirements of
the Unicode Standard, version 2.1.8 (see http://www.unicode.org).
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 if there
are hollow boxes or black squares 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.
Information on modifying your font.properties file can be
located on the Javasoft website and in the FAQ at
http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html.
