|---|---|
| New way of using the adapter in BizTalk Server | The Siebel adapter can be used in BizTalk either as a WCF-Custom port or a WCF-Siebel port. If you want to use the Siebel adapter through a WCF-Custom port, you do not need to add the WCF-Custom port to the BizTalk Server Administration console because the WCF-Custom port is added to the BizTalk Server Administration console by default. However, if you want to use the Siebel adapter through a WCF-Siebel port, you must first add the WCF-Siebel adapter to the BizTalk Server Administration console. For more information, see Add the Siebel Adapter to BizTalk Server Administration Console. |
