For using nJAMS Client for ADR3 on-premise the following software is supported:

  • nJAMS Server 4.4, 5.0

  • TIBCO EMS 8.3, 8.4, 8.5

  • Apache ActiveMQ 5.13, 5.15

For using nJAMS Client for ADR3 in combination with nJAMS Cloud you need a valid nJAMS Cloud instance.

Installation instructions#

Please follow these instructions to install nJAMS Client for ADR3 on the machine, where TIBCO Adapter for SAP is installed and running:

  1. Make sure services instances of TIBCO Adapter for SAP are stopped.

  2. Extract nJAMS Client for ADR3 package file njams-client-sap-adapter.zip and copy folder conf and lib from distribution package to <TIBCO_SAPADAPTER_HOME>/plugins/. If applicable, create directory plugins. A typical path would be e.g. /opt/tibco/adapter/adr3/7.2/plugins.

  3. Modify TRA file of TIBCO Adapter for SAP adr3.tra in ``<TIBCO_SAPADAPTER_HOME>/bin/``as follows:

    3.1 Add the following lines to section “Common variables”:

    # Home directory of nJAMS Client for ADR3:
    tibco.env.NJAMS_ADR3_HOME=%TIB_ADR3_HOME%/plugins
    # Folder of njams configuration file njams.properties:
    tibco.env.NJAMS_ADR3_CONF_HOME=%NJAMS_ADR3_HOME%/conf
    # Folder of njams custom libraries:
    tibco.env.NJAMS_ADR3_LIB_HOME=%NJAMS_ADR3_HOME%/lib
    

    3.2 Append %NJAMS_ADR3_LIB_HOME% to the following env variables in section “Custom Properties for adr3”:

    tibco.env.PATH
    tibco.env.STD_CP_EXT
    

    For example:

    #Set PATH
    tibco.env.PATH=%CUSTOM_PATH%\:%TIB_ADR3_HOME%/bin\:%SDK_HOME%/hotfix/bin\:%SDK_HOME%/bin\:%TRA_HOME%/hotfix/bin\:%TRA_HOME%/bin\:%RV_HOME%/bin\:%TPCL_HOME%/bin\:%TIB_JAVA_HOME%/bin\:%EMS_HOME%/lib/64\:%EMS_HOME%/lib\:%NJAMS_ADR3_LIB_HOME%:%EMS_HOME%/lib/64:%EMS_HOME%/lib:
    
    #Set standard classpath
    tibco.env.STD_CP_EXT=%TIB_SDK_DIR%/hotfix/lib\:%TIB_SDK_DIR%/lib\:%TRA_HOME%/hotfix/lib\:%TRA_HOME%/lib\:%TPCL_HOME%/lib\:%RV_HOME%/lib\:%EMS_HOME%/lib\:%NJAMS_ADR3_LIB_HOME%
    

    3.3 Add the following lines at the end of the file:

    # Used For NJAMS Client for SAP Adapter Weaving, setting the default logging properties and setting the path to the config folder
    # The default properties file name is njams (without the ending), if you want to change it, use "-Dnjams.properties.name\=njams4" and append it to the line below
    java.extended.properties=-javaagent\:%NJAMS_ADR3_LIB_HOME%/aspectjweaver.jar -showWeaveInfo -Dlog4j.configuration\=file\:%TIB_ADR3_HOME%/bin/adr3.log4j.properties -Dnjams.conf.home\=%NJAMS_ADR3_CONF_HOME%
    
    # Load config for nJAMS logging
    adr3.trace.extended=ON
    adr3.trace.log4j.properties=%NJAMS_ADR3_CONF_HOME%/adr3.log4j.properties
    
    # Only for using secure connection to nJAMS Cloud add TIBCO security vendor:
    #java.property.TIBCO_SECURITY_VENDOR=j2se
    
  4. Configure connection parameters of nJAMS Client for ADR3:

    Go to folder %NJAMS_ADR3_HOME%/conf and edit configuration file njams.properties according to your needs.

    Example of nJAMS Client for ADR3 configuration for running nJAMS on-premise against TIBCO EMS:

    njams.sdk.communication=JMS
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.factory.initial=com.tibco.tibjms.naming.TibjmsInitialContextFactory
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.security.principal=njams
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.security.credentials=njams
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.provider.url=tibjmsnaming://localhost:7222
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.connectionFactory=ConnectionFactory
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.username=njams
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.password=njams
    njams.sdk.communication.jms.destination=njams
    

    Example of nJAMS Client for ADR3 configuration for using nJAMS Cloud instance:

    njams.sdk.communication.cloud.endpoint=ingest.integrationmatters.com
    njams.sdk.communication.cloud.apikey=/opt/tibco/njams/certificates/myId-api.key
    njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.instanceId=myId
    njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.certificate=/opt/tibco/njams/certificates/myId-certificate.pem
    njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.privatekey=/opt/tibco/njams/certificates/myId-private.pem.key
    
  5. Extend log4j properties:

    Go to folder %TIB_ADR3_HOME%/bin/ and add the following lines to file adr3.log4j.properties:

    # nJAMS Logging to console and its own logfile
    log4j.appender.njamsFile=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
    log4j.appender.njamsFile.File=/var/log/njams/adr3.log
    log4j.appender.njamsFile.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd
    log4j.appender.njamsFile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.njamsFile.layout.ConversionPattern=[%p] %d %c %M - %m%n
    
    log4j.appender.njams=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
    log4j.appender.njams.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.njams.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p %d [%t] %c: %m%n
    
    log4j.logger.com.im=INFO, njams, njamsFile
    

    Note

    Change log4j.appender.njamsFile.File according to your needs.

  6. (Re-)Deploy adapter instances of TIBCO Adapter for SAP.

Start nJAMS Client for ADR3#

  1. Start service instances of TIBCO Adapter for SAP. As soon as the adapters start processing, nJAMS Client for ADR3 begins to monitor and creates log messages. Check log file of adapter instance and verify the banner text information to make sure that nJAMS Client for ADR3 has been initialized successfully.
