The Putang-Inang Shyet of Programming/Developing Software

I'm currently involved in deploying IBM WebSphere Business Integration in our company, and so far, it hasn't been a breeze. In fact, it's screwed up.

I know the basics of how the stuff works: you put in data into a message queue, the data becomes an application-specific business object (ASBO), it travels through an adapter to the collaborations, the collaborations convert it into a generic business object (GBO), the collaborations convert it to an ASBO that is suitable for its destination, it travels through another adapter towards its destination, and wa-lah! - it goes into the destination and gets processed there.

I've done this before in an already configured environment by the Indians. I know how to play with things in there.

Now, I'm configuring WBI to run on my Virtual PC. Why there? Because WBI won't run normally on Windows XP, since the package was designed to run in Windows 2000 Server.

So how am I doing with the config work so far? You've seen the title? Well... I'm swimming in it. I'm swimming in Grade A Putang-inang Shyet right now because I haven't grabbed hold of the manuals. Also, I'm a bit hesitant to ask Ahmed right now because he's very, very busy.

Anyway, if you look through the basic stuff I've listed down, I'm stuck right now at step one. I've run the adapters, configured MQ Explorer to run on my machine, put a sample .xml file in the Explorer, but no travelling data. The only thing I could think of right now is I have something missing in my config.

Okay... time to think again. I've vented out my frustration. Hehe... I'm so pathetic...
