Release 10.11

Highlights

Usage Notes

The following functionalities have certain restrictions in IBM webMethods B2B system:

• Partner certificate automatically gets associated with the new partner created with the same details as the deleted one. Also, the certificate is not listed in the certificate monitoring page.

• To use 2-Way SSL/TLS functionality, business documents must be sent to a channel URL with the port 8443 appended to the hostname. The 2-Way SSL/TLS functionality is an additional-level of validation and security. This along with the partner-user credential-based authentication ensures secure exchange of business documents.

• While synchronizing partner profiles as part of partner onboarding, IBM webMethods B2B ignores all new partner profiles, retaining only the pre-existing profiles. Additionally, a message about the duplicate occurrence is logged in the Activity logs under the General category.

• IBM recommends that you do not create, update, or delete any B2B assets during the upgrade window.

• If you are not able to map multiple documents to a document array based on indexing in a Flow service, create a document array that holds all the required documents using the “insertDocument” operation of the “Document” service.
  For example, if you want to map three documents (D1, D2, and D3) to a document array (DA1[]), add the “insertDocument” operation thrice: once for each document, and insert D1, D2, and D3 into the “documents” array. You can also use loops to run the “insertDocument” operation thrice. Finally, map the “documents[]” array, which holds all the three documents, to DA1[].

• Publishing of assets from one environment (the origin) to another environment (the target) with inherited users is not supported.

Known Issues

This section lists any issues for the current release that were known when this readme was published:

• BOC-2204
  If you create a tenant user in IBM webMethods iPaaS with a username that is identical to an existing partner user in IBM webMethods B2B, an Internal Server error appears when the tenant user attempts to log in to IBM webMethods B2B.
  Workaround: Delete the partner user and create another partner user with a unique username that does not match any of the existing tenant usernames. However, if you do not want to delete the partner user, delete the tenant user and create a tenant with a unique username that does not match any existing partner users. You can do this on the IBM webMethods iPaaS > Administration > Users page.

• BOC-13620
  For UNDEDIFACT documents, the FA status is not reconciled correctly when FA is received. Instead a new record of FA is shown for FA Reconciliation.

• BOC-13607
  When duplicate documents exist for UNEDIFACT documents, the status is not reconciled to duplicate under FA Reconciliation.

• BOC-13549
  Occasionally, an “Authorization Required” error occurs while reprocessing a transaction when the following sequence of actions are performed:

  1. Add a user in IBM webMethods iPaaS.
  2. In IBM webMethods B2B, select this new username in the processing rule action to call an integration.
     Workaround: Ensure that the user with that username logs in to IBM webMethods B2B at least once.
     
     

• BOC-8265
  In the Full Message log entries for Course of transactions, IBM webMethods B2B renders the timestamp in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) rather than the current time zone.

• FLOW-1912
  Flow services using the webMethods.io B2B Connector fail with an error message indicating that the IBM webMethods B2B connection is disabled.
  Workaround: Update the IBM webMethods B2B account, this refreshes the account and enables it.

• BOC-10263
  During the product upgrade window, you might notice a few failed transactions that involve the execution of an operation in webMethods.io B2B Connector on IBM webMethods Integration.
  Workaround: You can resubmit the failed transactions after the upgrade window.

• BOC-12853
  Although tenants with custom domain names can deploy on-premises assets to the cloud, thereafter, certain configurations involving cross-applications and runtime invocations do not work.
  Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue.

• BOC-13552
  IBM webMethods B2B resets the AS2-related runtime options to default values.
  Workaround: Update the affected runtime option again.

• BOC-13902
  IBM webMethods B2B does not support two-way SSL communication with IBM webMethods Cloud Container. If two-way SSL is configured in Cloud Container, executions in IBM webMethods B2B that invoke Cloud Container services fail.
  Workaround: Change the authentication mode in Cloud Container to allow one-way and two-way SSL API execution calls (credentials and certificate).
