Siebel adapter

No extra steps.

SQL adapter

Required drivers:

  • For SQL Server 2005: If you create User Defined Types (UDTs) in SQL Server, make sure the respective assemblies for the UDTs are added to the GAC.

  • For SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2008 R2,SQL Server 2008 SP1:

    • If you use the UDTs shipped with the SQL Server versions, for example, Geography, make sure the following DLLs are present on the computer where you use the adapter to perform operations on SQL Server. For example, if you create BizTalk projects to perform operations on SQL Server, these DLLs must be present on the computer where BizTalk Server is running.

      • Make sure Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.dll is added to the GAC.

      • Make sure SqlServerSpatial.dll is available in the System32 folder.

      You can install these DLLs on the computer by running the SQL Server setup and selecting Management Tools – Basic and Management Tools – Complete in the Feature Selection page of the wizard.

    • If you use the adapter to perform operations on columns of FILESTREAM data types, make sure you have SQL Client Connectivity SDK installed. You can install the SQL Client Connectivity SDK by running the SQL Server setup and selecting SQL Client Connectivity SDK in the Feature Selection page of the wizard. The adapter uses the sqlncli10.dll, installed with the SQL Client Connectivity SDK, to perform FILESTREAM operations.

    • If you create your own UDTs in SQL Server, make sure the respective assemblies for the UDTs are added to the GAC.

64-bit support

The Siebel adapter is supported in a 32-bit host instance. It is not supported to run the Siebel adapter in a 64-bit host instance.

All the other adapters can run in a 32-bit or 64-bit host instance.

For more information about the supported installation scenarios for installing the 32-bit and 64-bit BizTalk Adapter Pack, see Scenarios for Installing the BizTalk Adapter Pack on 32-bit and 64-bit Platforms.

Installing the BizTalk Adapter Pack

Make sure all the software prerequisites are installed before installing the BizTalk Adapter Pack. You can install the BizTalk Adapter Pack in the following two ways:

  • In interactive mode: Run the setup wizard

  • In silent mode: Use the command line

    Important

    You must have administrative privileges on the computer where you install the BizTalk Adapter Pack, irrespective of whether you are installing using the wizard or the command line.

Typical vs custom installation

This section lists the installation types, and the features that are installed with each option:

  • The Typical and Complete options install all the adapters, with the associated data providers. You do not have the option of choosing a specific adapter to install.

  • The Custom option installs one or more adapters, with the associated data providers. You can choose which adapters to install. If you choose to install a data provider, you must also install the corresponding adapter. However, you can install an adapter without installing the corresponding data provider. Do this by expanding the ADO Providers node, and then selecting the providers that you don't want to install. See Installing the BizTalk Adapter Pack in Interactive Mode.

    For example, if you install the Data Provider for SAP, you must also install the SAP adapter. However, you can install the SAP adapter without installing the Data Provider for SAP.

Scenarios for installing the BizTalk Adapter Pack on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms

With BizTalk Server, the BizTalk Adapter Pack can be used for:

  • Visual Studio design time (when generating metadata for operations on LOB applications)

  • BizTalk Server Administration console design time (for creating physical ports)

    Note

    BizTalk Server Administration console runs as a 32-bit Microsoft Management Console (MMC) application.

  • BizTalk run time (when sending and receiving messages from LOB applications)

You can use a single computer for all these taks, or use different computers. Because both Visual Studio and BizTalk MMC are 32-bit processes, you must install the 32-bit BizTalk Adapter Pack on the computer where you complete the design-time tasks.

      For more information about the msiexec command, type msiexec on the command line, and press ENTER. Or, see msiexec.

After installing the BizTalk Adapter Pack

You may need to do the following tasks after installing the BizTalk Adapter Pack, based on what operations you want to do with each adapter:

Configure the Oracle Database adapter to use a newer Oracle.DataAccess.dll version

When you configure a port to use the WCF-OracleDB adapter or use Visual Studio to consume a generated adapter, a message displays that the adapter needs Oracle.DataAccess.dll version 2.111.7.0. To resolve this message, install a supported Oracle.DataAccess.dll version (see supported version list), and then update the bindingRedirect element in the OracleDB configuration file. Steps:

  1. On the BizTalk Server, go to the following folders:

    drive:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack(x64)\bin

    drive:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack\bin

  2. Open the Microsoft.Adapters.OracleDB.config file.

  3. Find the following section, and copy/paste the following:

    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
              <dependentAssembly>
                        <assemblyIdentity name="Oracle.DataAccess" publicKeyToken="89b483f429c47342" culture="neutral" />
                        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="2.111.7.00" newVersion="2.112.1.00"/>
              </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
    
    

    Note

    In this example, we set newVersion to 2.112.1.00. Set this value to the version you have installed.

Important

  • If there are multiple BizTalk Servers in this group, make this change on all the BizTalk servers in the group.
    • The newVersion value needs to be updated based on the version of the Oracle.DataAccess.dll file installed on the computer. Oracle.DataAccess.dll is included with the Oracle Client you install from Oracle. You must only install an Oracle Client version that is supported by the BizTalk Adapter Pack.

Create SQL Server Database objects (only for the SAP adapter)

To invoke tRFCs in an SAP system, run the SapAdapter-DbScript-Install.sql SQL script. This script is installed with the BizTalk Adapter Pack installation, and creates database objects in SQL Server. The script is typically installed at <installation drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack. You can run this script against any SQL Server database, as long as you enter that database name while using the adapter to invoke tRFCs.

Register the adapter bindings

During the BizTalk Adapter Pack installation, the setup wizard may fail to register the adapter bindings or the .NET Framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite, but setup proceeds with the adapter installation. This might result due to problems with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) installation, Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Line of Business (LOB) Adapter SDK installation, or the machine.config file being corrupt.

Complete these steps only if the setup wizard fails to register the adapter bindings or .NET Framework Data Providers in the machine.config file.

Register the adapter bindings or the .NET Framework data providers
  1. Go to the machine.config file on the computer. For example, on a 32-bit platform, the machine.config is available under <system drive>:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>\CONFIG.

  2. Open the file using a text editor.

  3. Register the adapter bindings:

    1. Search for the system.serviceModel element, and add the following under it:

      <client>
        <endpoint binding="sapBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="sap" />
        <endpoint binding="siebelBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="siebel" />
        <endpoint binding="oracleDBBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="oracleDb" />
        <endpoint binding="oracleEBSBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="oracleEBS" />
        <endpoint binding="sqlBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" name="mssql" />
      </client>
      
    2. Search for the bindingElementExtensions element under system.serviceModel\extensions.

    3. Look for the missing adapter binding. Add the following sections under the bindingElementExtensions node, depending on the missing adapter binding. You must register all the bindings if the setup wizard fails to register any.

      For the SAP adapter, add:

    Oracle E-Business adapter Microsoft.Adapters.OracleEBS
    SQL adapter Microsoft.Adapters.Sql.dll
    Data Provider for SAP Microsoft.Data.SAPClient
    Data Provider for Siebel Microsoft.Data.SiebelClient
  3. On the General tab, the Public Key Token values is the public key for the DLL. The Version value is the version number for the DLL.

  4. Copy the public key, and then select Cancel.

Install the custom RFCs

You only need to do this task if you want to use the Data Provider for SAP. For instructions on installing custom RFCs, see Install Custom RFCs in the SAP adapter documentation.

Important

If you are using an earlier version of the custom RFCs provided with the BizTalk Adapter Pack, then you must upgrade them to the RFCs provided with this release. Do this by removing the earlier RFCs, and then installing the RFCs shipped with this release.

Installing the Enterprise Applications

For the steps and guidance to install the different enterprise LOB systems, we recommendnd you use their specific installation guides. Also refer to its adapter documentation for specific configuration changes, if any.

Installation and post-installation checklist

Troubleshoot BizTalk Adapter Pack installation

Following are some issues that you might face when installing BizTalk Adapter Pack. For a comprehensive list of installation-related issues, refer to Troublehsooting topics for each adapter.

  • Running setup on a 64-bit computer might throw an error while accessing schema file

    The BizTalk Adapter Pack setup throws an error while accessing the Microsoft.Adapters.<AdapterName>_schema.xml file, but proceeds with the adapter installation.

    Cause

    If both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the BizTalk Adapter Pack are installed on the same computer, the target schema file used by both is the same. As a result, the file installed by the 32-bit BizTalk Adapter Pack might be in use by IIS when the 64-bit installer tries to access it.

    Resolution

    Manually copy the Microsoft.Adapters.<AdapterName>_schema.xml file from C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack(x64)\IIS Schemas" to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema.
