"Apply the integration test client update to the server" message in WID 6.1

It is rumored that some people who develop SCA components in WebSphere Integration Developer (WID) also want to test their components. Well, as I admit, I am one of them.

If you are also one of them and if you use WID version 6.1 along with a standalone instance of WebSphere Process Server (WPS) 6.1 then you might have stumbled across a neat error message in the Integration Test Client. It says

Apply the integration test client update to the server.

Moreover, if you then decided to delve further into the wherefores and possible solutions to this kind of problem you might have found fixes for WID versions 6.0.1.2 and 6.0.2.2 on http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2308&context=SSQQFK&q1=4010662&uid=swg24010662

But what about WID and WPS versions 6.1? As it turns out, IBM released a fix for WPS 6.1 on 4/1/2008. Please visit http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2308&uid=swg24017940 to download it. At the time of this writing the page wasn't listed in Google.

You also ought to make sure that you have installed the Interim Fix 001 for WID 6.1 which can be downloaded on http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2308&uid=swg27011454.

Please note that the error message mentioned above does not occur if you use the integrated testing environment that ships with WID 6.1. Only standalone servers are affected - regardless of whether they reside on the same machine as WID or on a remote machine.

Best regards,
Matthias
