Transport adapter type	Specify the adapter type.
Property namespace	Specify the adapter namespace. BizTalk Server stores adapter-specific properties on the message context in this namespace.
Adapter can receive messages and submit them to BizTalk Server	Identify communication patterns supported by the adapter. Used to calculate the Constraints registry entry for the adapter.
Adapter can send messages from BizTalk Server	Identify communication patterns supported by the adapter. Used to calculate the Constraints registry entry for the adapter.

Inbound Part page

Use the Inbound Part page to specify inbound receiving logic for your adapter.

Use this	To do this
Browse	Select the assembly that implements the inbound receiving logic for your adapter. A list of the public types exposed by this assembly appear in the drop-down list. Select the type within the specified assembly that implements the inbound logic for this adapter from the drop-down list.
Adapter supports request-response protocol	Specify the receive capabilities of your adapter. Used to calculate the Constraints registry entry for your adapter.
Adapter is isolated (that is hosted in a different process)	Specify the receive capabilities of your adapter. Used to calculate the Constraints registry entry for your adapter.

Outbound Part page

Use the Outbound Part page to specify outbound receiving logic for your adapter.

Use this	To do this
Browse	Select the assembly that implements the outbound receiving logic for your adapter. A list of the public types exposed by this assembly appears in the drop-down list . Select the type for the specified assembly that implements the outbound logic for this adapter from the drop-down list. You must also enter a comma-separated list of aliases used to identify the protocol used by this adapter (for example, submit://).

Remarks

The Adapter Registry Wizard utility populates the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration store properties with default values. If your adapter does not use the standard property pages provided by the Adapter Framework for handler and location adapter properties, you must edit the registry file manually to modify these values. For more information about these settings, see "Registration of adapter properties for SSO configuration store" in the topic Registering an Adapter.
