Certified for Your Protection

JDE Connect / iBOLT supposedly went through some pretty rigorous testing to achieve the IBM Server Proven designation from IBM. According to Magic Software, makers of the JDE Connect / iBOLT solution for application-to-application integration for Oracle JD Edwards World and OneWorld customers, they have certified their integration suite for several technologies on the IBM System i, (formerly iSeries).

In terms of the computing platform itself, the official certification is for the IBM iSeries running V4.5 and above on IBM servers with PowerPC processors, requires PASE. This includes a formal announcement of i5OS support made at COMMON Spring 2006.

Needless to say, the supported database on the System i is DB2/400 and of course IFS is supported as well.

In terms of the tested Web servers, these would include so-called HTTP original and HTTP powered by Apache 2.0.47.

In the realm of middleware, JDE Connect / iBOLT can utilize IBM WebSphere® MQ 5.3 client/server for messaging capabilities; JMS (requires JMS API 1.3 Client or higher); JRE 1.4.2 for Java integration capabilities; LDAP V.2 and V.3 using simple bind; SOAP 1.1; and SNMP V.1 and V.2, among others.

When it comes to Application Servers, none is required, however, IBM WebSphere® Application Server V.4, is certified for J2EE integration. Thought you might want to know…
