Issue/Introduction

I have upgraded the Spectrum IM Connector version 2.0.0.212 to version 2.0.0.238 and now the Connector does not startup anymore.

Environment

Spectrum IM Connector 2.0.0.212 upgrade to 2.0.0.238SOI IFW 3.2

Cause

The Spectrum IM Connector 2.0.0.238 does not support SOI IFW 3.2 anymore. According to the Spectrum IM Connector Guide it requires on of the following versions:

 

CA SOI 3.3 CUM2

CA SOI 4.0

CA SOI 4.0 CUM1

 

The error messages seen in the Spectrum IM Connector logfile from the SOI\log folder of the Connector Server are as follows:

Resolution

Upgrade the Integration Services on the Connector Server to version 4.0 from the SOI 4.0 Installation Image.

The SOI Manager needs to be upgraded to SOI 4.0 as well.
