Create a connection to the Siebel system

The Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Siebel eBusiness Applications is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) custom binding. As such, it enables communication to a Siebel system through a WCF endpoint address. In WCF the endpoint address identifies the network location of a service and is typically expressed as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The Siebel adapter expresses this location as a connection URI, which contains properties that the Siebel adapter uses to establish a connection to the Siebel system. You must specify a connection URI when you:

• Create a channel factory or a channel listener using the WCF channel model, or create a WCF client or service host using the WCF service model.

• Create a physical port binding in a BizTalk Server solution.

• Use the Add Adapter Service Reference Visual Studio Plug-in to generate a WCF client class, or WCF service interface for a WCF service model solution.

• Use the Consume Adapter Service BizTalk Project Add-in to retrieve message schemas from the Siebel adapter for a BizTalk Server solution.

• Use the ServiceModel Metadata Utility tool (svcutil.exe) to generate a WCF client class, or WCF service interface for a WCF service model solution.
