| General Information | - WebSphere Message Broker, WebSphere MQ Integrator, and Integrator Broker product READMEs
- Where patches for a product are specified, this means that these patches were required to resolve problems found during testing and should therefore be considered as the minimum necessary maintenance level. Further maintenance should be applied in accordance with the guidance of the relevant software manufacturer.
- Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere Message Broker. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements, WebSphere Message Broker has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments. WebSphere Message Broker Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself.

| | Application Software | |
Optional Requirements
Embedded application software | Supported Adapters | WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 supports WebSphere Adapters Version 7.0. For more information about the hardware and software requirements of WebSphere Adapters, see Supported software for IBM WebSphere Adapters and IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters.
If you plan to use WebSphere Adapters on any supported operating system, you must obtain the appropriate Enterprise Information System (EIS) client libraries from the relevant EIS vendor (for example, PeopleSoft, Siebel, or SAP). The client libraries are required to complete connections between Adapters nodes and the EIS; install them on each computer on which you run a broker that hosts message flows that include Adapters nodes. | | WebSphere Service Registry & Repository | | | WebSphere Transaction Extender for Integration Servers | |
