Build and Test the Adapter Project

  • Article

To test all of the changes made to the AdapterManagement project, rebuild the project. After a successful build, run the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard to ensure that all of the internal and external XSD files are added to the AdapterManagement project. For instructions on using the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard, see How to Add Adapter Metadata to a BizTalk Project.

To test the changes made to the configuration schemas, open each of the property pages generated by the XSD file to ensure that it asks for and accepts the correct data. You do this by configuring a send port, receive location, send handler, and receive handler in the BizTalk Server Administration console.

Note

An adapter might not have all of the configuration schemas. For example, a send adapter that does not support receiving messages might have only the TransmitLocation.xsd and TransmitHandler.xsd schemas.

To test the TransmitLocation.xsd file

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server 20xx, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. Expand the BizTalk Server Administration node, expand BizTalk Group, expand the Send Ports node, point to New, and then click Static One-way Send Port.

  3. In the Send Port Properties dialog box, in the Name box, type the name of the send port. Expand the Transport node, and then select the Primary node.

  4. In the right pane, in the Transport Type value box, select Static, and then click Configure. The displayed screen should contain the fields you specified in the TransmitLocation.xsd file.

To test the ReceiveLocation.xsd file

  1. Expand the BizTalk Server Administration node, expand BizTalk Group, expand the Receive Ports collection, expand the newly created receive port or the receive port to which you want to add a receive location, right-click the Receive Locations collection, point to New, and then click One-way Receive Location.

  2. In the Select a Receive Port dialog box, select the port.

  3. In the Receive Location Properties dialog box, in the left pane, select the General node.

  4. In the Receive Location Properties dialog box, in the Name box, type a name for the receive location.

  5. In the Receive Location Properties dialog box, in the right pane, in the Transport Type value box, select Static and then click Configure. The displayed screen should contain the fields you specified in the ReceiveLocation.xsd file.

To test the ReceiveHandler.xsd file

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server 20xx, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. Expand the BizTalk Server Administration node, expand BizTalk Group, expand Platform Settings, expand Adapters, click Static, and then click BizTalkServerApplication with the direction of Receive.

  3. In the results pane, right-click the receive handler, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click Properties. The displayed screen should contain the fields you specified in the ReceiveHandler.xsd file.

To test the TransmitHandler.xsd file

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, click Static, and then click BizTalkServerApplication with the direction of Send.

  2. In the results pane, right-click the receive handler, and then click Properties. On the General tab, click Properties. The displayed screen should contain the fields you specified in the TransmitHandler.xsd file.
