Handle transactions with the Oracle E-Business Suite adapter

  • Article

Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite does not initiate a transaction while performing an operation in Oracle E-Business Suite. Instead, the adapter performs the operations using the transaction context provided by the adapter clients. In order to perform operations in a transaction using the Oracle E-Business adapter, you must:

  • Enable transactions in the adapter clients. For example, to enable transactions in BizTalk Server, you must select the Use Transaction check box in the Transactions area of the Messages tab for a WCF-Custom or WCF-OracleEBS port.

  • Set the value of the UseAmbientTransaction binding property to True in the adapter. For more information about the binding property, see Read about the BizTalk Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite Binding Properties.

Important

To use the adapter to perform transactions in Oracle E-Business Suite, you must have installed the Oracle Services For Microsoft Transaction Server component, while installing the Oracle client, on the computer running the adapter client.

Transactions in the Outbound Operations

The Oracle E-Business adapter performs an outbound operation in a single transaction. For composite operations, all the operations are performed in a single transaction but using different ODP.NET connections. For more information about the outbound operations surfaced by the Oracle E-Business adapter, see How Does the Adapter Surface Oracle E-Business Suite Metadata?.

Transactions in the Inbound Operations

The Oracle E-Business adapter exposes the following two inbound operations:

  • Polling: The polling statement and the post-poll statement (if specified) are executed in a transaction, whereas, the polled data available statement is executed in a different transaction. Similarly, the polling statement and the post-poll statement are executed using the same ODP.NET connection, whereas, the polled data available statement is executed using a different ODP.NET connection.

  • Notification: The notification operation is performed in a transaction using a single ODP.NET connection.
