System Requirements

For best performance, your computer needs physical memory to meet the requirements of the operating system and all applications.

Java Runtime Environment

The installer checks your system for a JRE version 1.4 or higher. Java 1.4.2_11 and 1.5.0_06 have been used in testing this release.

Dual Video Card and Title Bar Settings

If you have a dual video card, disable all title bar settings on the card before running Integration Architect.

Microsoft CRM 3.0 Connector .dll File Registration

The Integration Architect installer automatically registers Microsoft CRM .dll files for the following .NET Framework versions:

To verify these versions, select the Microsoft CRM entry in Add/Remove Programs or look in C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework.

If you have .NET Framework versions other than one of the versions listed above, you must register the Microsoft CRM .dll files manually using the following steps:

To manually register Microsoft CRM .dll files

  1. Locate the latest version of .NET Framework.
  2. Locate the file regasm.exe. It should be in the path environment variable or called with absolute paths.
  3. Locate DJMsCrmComObj.dll and DJMsCrmComObj3.dll in the InstallDir\Common800 folder. These files should be in that directory or called with absolute paths. To register the files, open a command prompt and type the following:
  4. regasm.exe DjMsCrmComObj.dll /tlb /codebase
    regasm.exe DjMsCrmComObj3.dll /tlb /codebase

Quality Improvements

User Interface

Components

Unicode

This release increases support for Unicode:

Unix Security

During Integration Engine installation on Unix and Linux systems, previous releases created directories and files with weaker file access security than what is commonly considered best practice. This release strengthens Unix security by defining a Pervasive-specific pvsw group identifier (GID) at installation time and using it to create installed directories and files. This GID is also used as the run-time GID of the djengine executable and is applied to all new files created during Integration Engine operation.

Known Issues

The following information describes a known issue in the current release:

Dynamic Map Invoker

Issue: The Dynamic Map invoker has the ability to keep a map loaded in memory between successive invoker steps that use the same invoker. This allows the source or target connection information to be changed without having to reload the map.

In the current implementation of the component, the map from the first step remains loaded even if the second step specifies a different map. The map in the second step is ignored, but the connection strings from the second step are used. If the connector types in the second step differ from the connector types of the first step, the second step may generate an error and the map may not execute correctly, depending on the compatibility of the different connector types.

Workaround: To force the process to reload the map in the second step, add a step between the first and second steps that executes a reset action.
