Import JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications

  • Article

Overview

With BizTalk Server, you can duplicate ports and assemblies on a target computer. BizTalk Server exports the send ports/receive location configuration into an XML file.

You can use BizTalk Server to do the following tasks:

  • Deploy or remove BizTalk Server assemblies in a BizTalk Configuration database

  • Install or uninstall the assemblies in the global assembly cache (GAC)

  • Import or export BizTalk Server assembly binding information to and from binding files

To use BizTalk Server to deploy ports and assemblies, see How to Export Bindings for a BizTalk Application.

Note

The Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne only requires that you have Visual Studio on a source (development) computer. Visual Studio is not required on the production computer.

Confirm your setup

Before you use the BizTalk Server to import a binding file, you must verify the following:

  • The CLASSPATH is pointing to a specific location for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne-specific files. Verify that the location of these files is the same on the new computer, or edit the binding file.

  • The folders for the responses exist and are identical on the new computer, or edit the binding file.

  • JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system passwords, if present in the configuration, are saved as ***** in the binding file. For more information, see Limitations in this topic.

Clean the target computer

When you redeploy a binding file (and assembly) on a target computer, the send ports and receive locations are replaced with those in the XML binding file when they are reimported.

Before you import, remove Send ports and Receive locations bound to the orchestration. If you do not have Visual Studio installed on the target computer, you can remove the ports by running the scripts:

  • \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server <VERSION>SDK\Samples\Admin\WMI\Remove Send Port\VBScript\RemoveSendPort.vbs

  • \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server <VERSION>SDK\Samples\Admin\WMI\Remove Receive Port\VBScript\RemoveReceivePort.vbs

For example, from a command prompt run:

cscript RemoveSendPort.vbs \<Send port name\>

Limitations

The Transport Adapter password is stored as stars (******) in the binding file that is exported by the BizTalk Server, and it passes to the management component in the same format. Edit the binding file before importing by replacing the stars with some junk value (that is, not the correct password).

When you export binding information, the resultant binding file does not contain any of the passwords that were used by transport adapters in receive locations/send ports. This prevents password information from appearing in clear text. The next time you use the file to import the binding information, you must enter the passwords by using transport property pages user interface.

Alternatively, you can temporarily modify the binding file before importing by typing the passwords into it. In this case, you must delete the passwords from the binding file after the import operation successfully completes.

Work around the password limitation

  1. Use Enterprise Single Sign-On instead of using passwords. Using the SSO option requires no extra work; only an import of the binding file.

  2. Verify the Logical system and the Transmit and Receive services.
