Configure a port using the WCF-custom adapter and Oracle Database adapter

How to configure WCF-Custom send and receive ports to perform outbound and inbound operations on the Oracle database using the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Oracle Database.

Prerequisites

Sign in with an account that is a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators or BizTalk Operators group. See Permissions Required for Deploying and Managing a BizTalk Application, and Minimum Security Rights for permissions guidance.

Deploy adapters for sending messages to an Oracle database

1. Start the BizTalk Server Administration console.

2. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, and then expand Applications.

3. Expand the application under which you want to deploy the Oracle Database adapter.

4. Right-click Send Ports, point to New, and point to a type of port you want to configure depending on the mode of communication between BizTalk Server and the Oracle database.

5. In the Send Port Properties dialog box, on the General tab, type a name for the send port.

6. From the Type drop-down list, select WCF-Custom, and then click Configure.

7. In the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, do the following:

   1. Click the General tab, and in the Address (URI) field, specify the connection URI for the Oracle database. For more information about the connection URI, see Create the Oracle Database connection URI.

   2. On the General tab, in the Action text box, type the action for the operation. See Messages and Message Schemas for a list of actions for each operation. For example, the action to invoke the Insert operation an EMPLOYEE table under the HR schema in an Oracle database is:

      http://Microsoft.LobServices.OracleDB/2007/03/HR/Table/EMPLOYEE/Select  
      

   3. Click the Binding tab, and from the Binding Type drop-down list, select oracleDBBinding. You can specify the different binding properties exposed by the Oracle Database adapter. For more information about binding properties, see Read about the Oracle Database adapter binding properties.

   4. Click the Credentials tab and do one of the following:

      • Select the Do not use Single Sign-On option, and specify the user name and password to connect to an Oracle database.

        • To connect using the Oracle database credentials, type the database credentials in the User name and Password text boxes.

        • To connect using Windows Authentication, type / in the User name text box and leave the Password text box blank.

      • Select the Use Single Sign-On option, and specify an affiliate SSO application.

        To return to the Send Port Properties dialog box, click OK.

8. From the Send handler drop-down list, select BizTalkServerApplication.

9. If you chose Static One-Way Send Port in step 4, specify a send pipeline. From the Send pipeline drop-down list, select the pipeline that corresponds to XMLTransmit.

10. If you chose Static Solicit-Response Port in step 4, specify send and receive pipelines.

    1. From the Send pipeline drop-down list, select the pipeline that corresponds to XMLTransmit.

    2. From the Receive pipeline drop-down list, select the pipeline that corresponds to XMLReceive.

11. Click OK.

Deploy adapters for receiving messages from an Oracle database

2. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Group, and then expand Applications.

3. Expand the application under which you want to deploy the Oracle Database adapter.

4. Right-click Receive Ports, point to New, and click One-way Receive Port or Request Response Receive Port, depending on the mode of communication between BizTalk Server and the Oracle database.

5. In the Receive Port Properties dialog box, on the General tab, type a name for the receive port.

6. On the Receive Locations tab, click New. The Receive Location Properties dialog box appears.

7. In the Receive Location Properties dialog box, do the following:

   1. Specify a name for the receive location.

   2. From the Type drop-down list, select WCF-Custom, and then click Configure.

8. In the WCF-Custom Transport Properties dialog box, do the following:

   1. Click the General tab, and in the Address (URI) field, specify the connection URI for the Oracle database. For more information about the connection URI, see Create the Oracle Database connection URI.

   2. Click the Binding tab, and from the Binding Type drop-down list, select oracleDBBinding. You can specify the different binding properties exposed by the Oracle Database adapter. For more information about binding properties, see Read about the Oracle Database adapter binding properties.

   3. Click the Others tab, and do one of the following:

      • Select User account, and specify the user name and password to connect to an Oracle database.

        • To connect using the Oracle database credentials, type the database credentials in the User name and Password text boxes.
