RELEASE INFORMATION
This section outlines new features in TOCF Enterprise Edition Release R19
and contains important information for upgrading clients. If you are
upgrading from an earlier release of TOCF(EE), please read and understand
all the release information details for each release before starting the
installation.
Prior to R09, T24 used the Temenos Connector Server (TCS) to host the
Temenos Open Connectivity Framework (TOCF). This framework includes
adapters, listeners, plugins, formatters, connection pooling, and security.
From R09, T24 can now leverage the application server features for
connection pooling, security, and deployment of the TOCF listeners, plugins, and
formatters. TOCF(EE) offers many performance, deployment and security advantages over
TOCF (TC Server).

Release Highlights
This section provides an overview of new TOCF components and advice regarding any
components which have been replaced or deprecated. Please refer to the system
requirements section for further details.

Release Number Standardisation

In the past release numbers for TOCF, TAFC, T24Browser, and T24 all had different formats,
making it harder for the user to insure that compatible components were installed. From R09
all components for T24 use a standardised component numbering starting with the product
version. From R11, the TOCF(EE) component has been aligned with the other technology
products and introduced 4 digits into the release / version.
Due to this it will be mandatory to install the new versions of each component. Further details
can be seen below.

Component Updates
From R09, a new update process was introduced that gave a client the ability to find and
apply ‘upgrades’ on a component basis. This means it is now possible for changes to be
isolated and delivered with fewer fixes and for specific components.
The TOCF(EE) component is not available as a T24 Update. Updates are available for the
dependent components within T24. See the section of this document entitled Error:
Reference source not found.

System Requirements

TAFC jbase_agent
The jbase_agent is the executable process that listens for socket connection from the TAFC
RA and allows a remote client to call T24 subroutines. This is the process you will see
running on the T24 server – there will be one listener process plus one process for each
connection in the Application Server connection pool.
Minimum TAFC release: R19
Artifact: $TAFC_HOME/bin/jbase_agent

INSTALLATION OF THE SOFTWARE
Transfer the archives to the target machine.

Upgrading TOCF(EE)
If you have an earlier version of TOCF(EE) installed you should
1. Save any system configuration files before proceeding with the installation of the
TOCF(EE) components.
Pay particular attention to the following:
TOCFplugin-ra.rar – tcserver.xml
TOCFListener-ejb.jar – ejb-jar.xml
Save any other deployment descriptors or configuration files which might
have been modified.
Apply these changes to the deployment descriptors and configuration files which are
located inside the new tocfee.ear archive.

2. Uninstall the existing TOCF(EE) components

- tocfee.ear (TOCF(EE) Enterprise Archive)
- tocfT24ra-ra.rar (T24 Resource Adapter) or jremote-ra.rar in case of
TOCF(EE) versions prior to R10.1.1
- T24Utility.war
On Weblogic, if necessary remove the T24 RA client libraries from the domain’s
shared library directory:
- <weblogic home>\user_projects\domains\<domain name>\lib\jremote.jar
- <weblogic home>\user_projects\domains\<domain name>\lib\tocfT24ra.jar
Note: To uninstall enterprise components in JBoss you should stop the application
server and remove the artifacts from the deploy directory.

3. Install the new TOCF(EE) components:

- tocfT24ra-ra.rar
- tocfee.ear
- T24Utility.war
- netty.jar (only required when enabling the inbound listener)
- osgicore-1.4.0.jar (only required when enabling the inbound listener in
Weblogic 10.3.3 or later)
4. Restart the application server.
