Connect to LOB systems from a BizTalk Services Project

 

Important

Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services (MABS) is being retired, and replaced with Azure Logic Apps. If you currently use MABS, then Move from BizTalk Services to Logic Appsprovides some guidance on moving your integration solutions to Logic Apps.

If you're brand new to Logic Apps, then we suggest getting started here:

• What are logic apps

• Create your first logic app, or quickly get started using a pre-built template

• View all the available connectors you can use in your logic apps

Connect to the BizTalk Adapter Service.

The application developer uses the development environment to build the BizTalk Service project application and deploy to the Service Bus. When BizTalk Adapter Service is installed, the components used to create the BizTalk Services application with LOB connectivity are available.

To configure the Development environment, see to Install Azure BizTalk Services SDK

Server Explorer

Server Explorer in Visual Studio is used to create the LOB Targets. Server Explorer is available on the View menu in your BizTalk Service project in Visual Studio.

Important

Visual Studio must be opened with Administrative privileges to create and develop with the LOB adapters.

Add your Management URL

To create a LOB Target, connect to your Runtime server:

1. Create the BizTalk Service project in Visual Studio. Get started with a Visual Studio project lists the steps.

2. In Server Explorer, right-click BizTalk Adapter Service, and select Add BizTalk Adapter Service. This prompts for the BizTalk Adapter Service Management URL:

   

   The BizTalk Adapter Service Management URL is path to the ManagementService.svc WCF service hosted in IIS. Runtime Components: BizTalk Adapter Service provides more information on the BizTalk Adapter Service components within IIS.

   If the BizTalk Adapter Service Runtime is installed locally with the default settings, enter:

   https://localhost:8080/BAService/ManagementService.svc/

   Or

   https://localhost:8080/BAService/ManagementService.svc/

   If the BizTalk Adapter Service Runtime is installed remotely with the default settings, enter:

   https://ServerName:8080/BAService/ManagementService.svc/

   Or

   https://ServerName:8080/BAService/ManagementService.svc/

   During the BizTalk Adapter Service installation, you choose whether to allow SSL connections. The runtime URL automatically defaults to HTTP or HTTPS depending on your SSL choice. In the following scenarios, you may need to change from the default settings:

   • You installed the BizTalk Adapter Service with the no SSL option. From another computer, you connect to the Runtime URL. In this scenario, you must enter HTTP for the Runtime URL:

     https://ServerName:8080/BAService/ManagementService.svc/

   • You installed the BizTalk Adapter Service locally and allowed SSL connections. You reinstall the BizTalk Adapter Service and don’t allow SSL connections. In this scenario, you must enter HTTP for the Runtime URL:

     https://localhost:8080/BAService/ManagementService.svc/

   Important

   The web site and BAService application in IIS use Windows Authentication. If you enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of this IIS server, you are prompted for authentication credentials when browsing.

3. Select OK. This adds the BizTalk Adapter Service Runtime Server in the Server Explorer and the LOB Types installed with the BizTalk Adapter Pack.

   Note

   Depending on the SSL and certificate options chosen during the BizTalk Adapter Service setup, you may get a server certificate for the website may not be valid error. This typically happens if the certification authority is not trusted. If you chose to create a new self-signed certificate, this error is expected. Proceed to the website.

4. Expand the server URL and LOB Types to see the individual LOB adapters installed with the BizTalk Adapter Pack. When prompted, enter the Access Control namespace and issuer name/issuer key values.

   Note

   The Access Control values are listed in the Azure classic portal. Select your BizTalk Service and then select Connection Information. You can copy and paste these values.

To configure the individual LOB Targets, refer to the Line-of-Business (LOB) system:
