Configure the binding properties for Siebel
The Siebel adapter surfaces several binding properties that enable you to control some of its behavioral characteristics. This section provides information about setting the binding properties from Visual Studio (design time) and from the BizTalk Server Administration Console (run time). At design time, you must specify the binding properties to generate schema for specific operations. At run time, you must specify the binding properties as part of the send port for sending messages to the Siebel system.
For information about the binding properties, including a list of binding properties for Siebel adapter, see Read about BizTalk Adapter for Siebel Binding Properties.
Enter the binding properties at design time
For design time, you must specify the binding properties from the Consume Adapter Service Add-in or the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard dialog box.
Enter binding properties using Consume Adapter Service Add-in
Right-click your BizTalk project, point to Add, and then select Add Generated Items.
In the Add Generated Items dialog box, do the following:
Use this To do this Categories Click Consume Adapter Service. Templates Click Consume Adapter Service. To start the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, click Add.
In the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, from the Select a binding drop-down list select siebelBinding, and click Configure.
In the Configure Adapter dialog box, click the Binding Properties tab and specify the binding values, if any, which are required to be specified before generating the schema. For more information about binding properties, see Read about BizTalk Adapter for Siebel Binding Properties.
Click OK.
Enter binding properties using Add Adapter Metadata Wizard
Right-click your BizTalk project, point to Add, and then select Add Generated Items.
In the Add Generated Items dialog box, do the following:
Use this To do this Categories Click Add Adapter. Templates Click Add Adapter Metadata. Click Add. The Add Adapter Metadata Wizard opens.
In the Add Adapter Wizard, select WCF-Siebel. Select the computer on which BizTalk Server is installed and the name of the BizTalk database.
Important
If you already have a WCF-Siebel port configured in BizTalk, select the port from the Port list.
Click Next.
In the Consume Adapter Service dialog box, from the Select a binding drop-down list select siebelBinding, and click Configure.
In the Configure Adapter dialog box, click the Binding Properties tab and specify the binding values, if any, which are required to be specified before generating the schema. For more information about binding properties, see Read about BizTalk Adapter for Siebel Binding Properties.
Note
If you selected an existing WCF-Siebel send port, you need not specify the binding properties. The binding properties are picked from the send port configuration. However, you may choose to specify the binding properties that are required at design-time, if any. In such case, the new values for binding properties will be used at design-time while generating the metadata. However, at run-time the values specified for binding properties in the send port configuration will be applicable.
Click OK.
Enter binding properties at run time
For run time, you must specify the binding properties as part of the WCF-Custom or the WCF-Siebel port configuration in the BizTalk Server Administration console.
Enter binding properties for the WCF-Custom port
Start the BizTalk Server Administration console.
In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, then expand Applications, and then expand the application under which you want to create a port, and then click Send Ports. In the right pane, you can choose to create a port or select an existing port.
In the Port Properties dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select WCF-Custom, and then click Configure.
In the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, click the Binding tab.
From the Binding Type drop-down list, select siebelBinding.
In the Configuration box, specify the values for the different binding properties and click OK.
Enter binding properties for the WCF-Siebel port
Start the BizTalk Server Administration console.
Add the WCF-Siebel adapter to the BizTalk Server Administration console. For instructions, see Add the Siebel Adapter to BizTalk Server Administration Console.
In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, then expand Applications, and then expand the application under which you want to create a port, and then click Send Ports. In the right pane, you can choose to create a port or select an existing port.
In the Port Properties dialog box, from the Type drop-down list, select the WCF-Siebel port you added earlier, and then click Configure.
In the transport properties dialog box, click the Binding tab and specify values for the binding properties.
Click OK.
