Installation Notes

Major releases of iWay version 8.0 and any service pack releases require Oracle Java version 8 as the minimum run-time environment. The recommended release is Java 1.8 build 152. Java versions 9 and 10 are not supported at this time.

Major releases of iWay version 8.0 and any service pack releases require Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files, which can be obtained from the Oracle Java download.

iWay version 8.0 can be installed on the same environment where previous versions of iWay Service Manager (6.x and 7.x) have been installed. You must follow the proper procedure to migrate an application from a previous version to iWay version 8.0. iWay version 8.0 cannot be overlaid on top of an older version, and must be installed in parallel into an empty location (directory) on the file system.

iWay version 8.0 includes online documentation, which is located on the iWay Information Center and can be accessed using the following URL:

iWay version 8.0 does not provide a 32-bit installation, only a 64-bit installation is supported. The installation requires administrative rights for installation and runtime purposes. iWay version 8.0 requires full access to the sub-directories of its installation. As a result, please ensure that the end-user has full access rights.

On Windows platforms, a deployed iIA will create its own corresponding Windows service. This Windows service is not recreated with each iIA deployment and will retain its properties.

The release level of iSM must match the release level of iIT. For example, if you upgrade iIT, then you must upgrade iSM to the corresponding version. iWay 8 releases no longer facilitate the use of core services, which were present in the iWay 7 framework. This is due to simplification and to ensure that the end-user always has matching design time and runtime environments to get the benefits of new features.
