How to Configure the Orders Transport Properties for a Send Endpoint
Before you can configure the transport properties for a Commerce Server Core Systems Orders send adapter, you must create an appropriate send port within the BizTalk Server Administration Console. For information about the aspects of these tasks specific to Commerce Server Core Systems adapters, see How to Configure a Send Endpoint for a BizTalk Adapter.
Almost all the configuration properties associated with Commerce Server Core Systems Orders send adapter endpoints are configured within the Transport Properties dialog box associated with the send port you have created for this adapter. This topic explains these properties and how to set them.
To configure the Orders transport properties for a send port
In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, in the left pane, navigate to your Commerce Server Core Systems send port or ports.
Note
You may also perform these steps in Visual Studio 2008.
In the right pane, right-click the appropriate Orders send port, and then click Properties. The Send Port Properties dialog box opens.
Select the General tab in the left pane. In the Transport box in the right pane, click the Configure button associated with the Type selection (in which you have previously selected Commerce Server Orders).
The Commerce Server Orders Transport Properties dialog box opens.
In the Commerce Server Orders Transport Properties dialog box, configure the operation of this Orders send adapter endpoint.
Note
By default, when you configure transport properties for Commerce Server Core Systems adapter endpoints, no Web service calls are made to validate the parameters you specify. However, you can set a key in the registry that will instruct the adapters to perform additional parameter validation that includes several Web service calls. For more information about this registry key, see Endpoint Configuration Validation.
