Description

  • In my recent project, I got a scenario where we need to establish a connection to Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online through BizTalk Server 2013 R2.
  • But when I started with this, there is no helpful information related to CRM Connectivity or Adapters or Connections related to BizTalk.
  • BizTalk server should invoke all the WCF methods exposed by CRM Online 2016 Organization Service.
  • The solution uses the following elements to realize the integration between the two products : WCF-Custom adapter using wsHttpBinding with custom Endpoint Behavior to communicate to CRM Online system.
