Websphere Message Broker and Websphere Transformation Extender Installation

Question

I am having issues making WMB and WTX work together on Windows environment. All the installations seem to have successfully installed.

Now, when i add a WTX node in a Message Flow, i get 2 exceptions:

1. java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.websphere.dtx.WTXPlugIn.BrowseLocalCompiledMap.checkCompiledMap(Unknown Source)
2. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/ibm/websphere/dtx/WTXPlugIn/WTXPlugInStringResources

I did some search on this and discovered the first issue is supposed to be fixed in one of the fix packs. I got the fix pack and uninstalled and re-installed everything, but i get the same results.

Below are the Versions i am using:

1. WMB 8.0.0.1 (8.0 with FIX Pack 1) 64 Bit
2. WTX for Integration Servers 8.4.0.3 64 Bit
3. WTX Design Studio 8.4.0.3 32 Bit (I dont think this matters, but just listing here)
4. WMQ 7.5

Has anyone made this combination work? Any thoughts or comments are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

I thought i will finally update the final resolve on this question.

I had to open a PMR with IBM and they directed me to 8.4.0.4 for WTX. 8.4.0.3 64 bit installations has some bugs which were fixed with 8.4.0.4.

Answer 2

Is the complete stack available in the error? It would be useful to see where in WMB code that exception is being raised from. I assume this is during deployment of a bar file containing a WTX node?
