This section provides installation notes for the iWay 7 Release.

• iWay 7 Information Asset Management (IAM) consists of three suites:
  • iWay Integration Suite
  • iWay Data Quality Suite
  • iWay Master Data Suite

  Note: For iWay Version 7.0.7, only the iWay Integration Suite was updated. The iWay Data Quality Suite and iWay Master Data Suite were not updated for iWay Version 7.0.7 and remain unchanged since the 7.0.6 release.

• iWay 7 requires Oracle Java Version 7 as the minimum run-time environment. The recommended release is Java 1.7_51.
• iWay 7 Service Pack 7 (SP7) is certified to run under Oracle Java Version 8.
• iWay 7 can be installed in the same environment where previous versions of iWay Service Manager (5.x and 6.x) have been installed. You must follow the proper migration procedure to migrate an application from a prior version to iWay 7. iWay 7 cannot be overlaid on top of an existing iWay 5.x or 6.x installation location and must be installed in parallel into an empty location.
• iWay Service Pack releases must be installed on top of the corresponding major release version. Service Packs are upgrades, not a migration path. Service Packs update the existing installation properly. Upon a Service Pack installation, ensure to reselect all features and functions that you have selected in the previous version, which are required by any existing applications.
• iWay Version 7 includes online documentation, which is located on the iWay Information Center and can be accessed using the following URL:

• For iWay Service Manager (iSM), consider that Windows 64-bit machines will only run with a service installed using the -l Java option. For more information on how to reinstall the service using this option, see the iWay Installation and Configuration documentation.
• iWay 7 installation requires Administrative rights for installation and runtime. If you are installing on Windows Vista, note that the User Account Control (UAC) mode is enabled by default.

  UAC is a special mode of operation available on Windows Vista that affects the functionality of administrator accounts. To avoid any errors that deny access, you must grant permission to the installation programs to use administrator privileges. If you are installing on Windows 7, note that you need to lower UAC settings accordingly to enable the installation to use administrative privileges as well. In general, the UAC center should enable you to either lower or disable security settings and enable administrative privileges for installation and runtime of iWay components.
