  • 1.  ITX/ITXA Integration is unsupported in this release of 6.2.1 IBM Sterling B2B Integrator

    Posted Fri June 20, 2025 11:26 AM

    Reviewing the notes from the Known Issues section, I see the following

    Known Issues - IBM Documentation 

    ITX/ITXA Integration ITX/ITXA Integration is unsupported in this release. No workaround.

    I'm curious if anyone has more info on the scope or context (just maps, or other integration components?) and if there is a future roadmap decision to support ITX in the future.

    Hi Matt, B2Bi 6.2.1 now uses Java 17 instead of Java 8. The issue is likely that you need a Java 17 version of ITX/ITXA if running integrated with B2Bi (as opposed to loosely coupled via REST for example). My understanding is that it is definitely in the plan to provide on-going support of ITX/ITXA with B2Bi. I'll forward this to product management and ask them to provide you with more detail.

    Best regards.

    Thanks Ahish. According to ITX product management ITX 11.0.2 is scheduled for release soon so watch those notifications. This release is being tested with B2B Integrator 6.2.1 and ITXA 10.0.2.

    @RICHARD CROSS Thank you for the additional information. I see 11.0.2 is out. I don't see ITX listed under the supported software for B2B 6.2.1.1 Last modified 8/14/25 - IBM B2BI 6.2.1.1

    I see it had been listed in older versions like IBM B2B 6.2.0

    It might be that the documentation has not been synced up between versions, if both versions need to be on JDK 17 to be compatible. Do you have any insight into compatible versions of B2BI and ITX / ITXA?

    @Matt Dorsey We're not quite through testing yet.  There were a couple of issues identified that needed to be resolved.  Current planned date is end of October although if we can do it earlier, we will.  The plan is B2BI 6.2.1.1, ITXA 10.0.2.0_1, and ITX 11.0.2.
