Develop BizTalk applications using the Siebel adapter

Overview

Developing BizTalk applications involves creating a BizTalk project in Visual Studio and using the Consume Adapter Service BizTalk Project Add-in to generate XML schema. Once you have generated the schema, you can either use Content-Based Routing (CBR) or create BizTalk orchestrations to send and receive messages that conform to the generated schema.

CBR can be used in scenarios where the messages being sent to a Siebel system do not require any intensive processing. For example, if you know that the receive port will be receiving messages only of a certain type, you can add a filter to the send port to route the messages matching the filter expression to the send port.

In BizTalk orchestrations, you create send and receive ports to send and receive messages to and from the WCF-Custom adapter, which in turn sends the messages to BizTalk Server. This section provides information about using BizTalk orchestrations to perform operations on a Siebel system using the Siebel adapter. The Siebel adapter in turn uses the WCF-Custom adapter that can interact with a WCF binding.

Before you begin

  • To use the Siebel adapter with Microsoft BizTalk Server, always set the EnableBizTalkCompatibilityMode binding property to True. For the steps, see Configure the binding properties for Siebel.

  • The Siebel adapter shipped with BizTalk Adapter Pack is not automatically listed in the BizTalk Server Administration console. This is because the Siebel adapter is a WCF custom binding.

  • To generate metadata, use the Consume Adapter Service BizTalk Project Add-in. Do not use the Add Adapter Metadata Wizard. For instructions on using the Consume Adapter Service Add-in, see Get Metadata for Siebel Operations in Visual Studio.
