We are having some issues when upgrading maps from 8.2.x to 8.4.1.

Our current project is using FS Manager Adapter to connect WTX to FS Manager, however, this adapter was removed from 8.4.1.

Any idea so that we can still use FS manager? Basically we need to provide userid and password for the socket gateway, which is not support by 8.4.1.

Have you tried copying the m4msgr.dll file from your WTX 8.2 installation, and making the necessary changes to the adapters.xml file?

This would probably not be a supported configuration, but it might get you going.

Thank-you

Tried following steps, but it not working.

1. Copy m4msgr.dll to 8.4.1 folder.

2. Change to adapters.xml to enable adapter for FS Manager.

Still got error:

It seems the adapter design has changed, and a new official adapter is not possible because FS Manager support has been dropped.

I recommend you get the specification of the FS Manager socket gateway, and use the IBM WebSphere TX SDK to create your own adapter.

Alternatively, it may be possible to use the Socket adapter, in a limited capacity.

Thank-you

We are studying to create our own adapter. Where we can get a start? any reference for adapter development?
