I thought I’d just post this real quick. How many of you have ever struggled with your EPiServer web.config when going from your cozy IIS5 or IIS6 environment to IIS7? Well, I have. There are…
Daniel Berg’s blog about ASP.NET, EPiServer, SharePoint, BizTalk
Hi all
Just to let you all know, that David
GROSPELIER has written a BizTalk 2009 book in French that is about to be published.
You can find the book at Amazon and
at Editions-ENI.
David has been so kind as to mention my collection of functoids from http://eebiztalkfunctoids.codeplex.com several
times in the book, and since it is in French, I have not bothered to check what has
been written, but trust that David knows what he is talking about 🙂
So go check it out! 🙂

It’s been a few weeks since my last blog post mainly due to the fact that it’s been an extremely busy month for us at Tellago . We have been heads down working on several fun projects that we are expecting to share with the dev community in the next few…(read more)
In order to successfully setup communication with SAP. You have following configurations.
In terms of the SAP part you need to have following things on SAP side:
· A SAP user with suitable access
· A RFC connection (This will specify the ‘listening’ program running on BizTalk. (SAP transaction SM59)
· A tRFC port which uses the RFC connection defined above. (SAP transaction WE21)
There is also some setup in terms of messages. Assignment of messages to receiving/sending partner…
But this would be down to the SAP team for doing this sort of implementation.
The most important thing from BizTalk point of view is the configuration of the Send and Receive ports.
There for you need to first generate the correct SAP schemas. (See blog post: “Communication with SAP through WCF custom adapter – Generate SAP schemas”).
Note: When generating the SAP schemas, BizTalk will provide you with the correct bindings to setup the Send/Receive Ports.
On the other side, it’s better to cross-check that configuration to be sure that you have the correct setup.
Send Ports
Your URI should look like this:
sap://CLIENT=[SAPClientID];LANG=[LANG];@a/[ServerName]/[SystemID]?RfcSdkTrace=False&AbapDebug=False
ex: sap://CLIENT=235;LANG=EN;@a/10.80.32.3/00?RfcSdkTrace=False&AbapDebug=False
In the SOAP Action header you should specify the action, this action you can find in the configuration of your generated SAP schema.
Double check the configuration of the URI and do not forget to add your credentials to avoid logon problems.
Receive Ports
Your URI should look like this:
sap://CLIENT=[SAPClientID];LANG=[LANG];@a/[ServerName]/[SystemID]?ListenerGwHost=[ListenerGWHost]&ListenerGwServ=[ListenerGWService]&ListenerProgramId=[ListenerProgramID]
ex: sap://CLIENT=235;LANG=EN;@a/10.80.32.3/00?ListenerGwHost=10.80.32.3&ListenerGwServ=SAPGW00&ListenerProgramId=BIZTALK_CODIT
The SAP team has to provide you with the correct variables. Again, do not forget to add your credentials to avoid logon problems.
If you still have issues with enlisting your Receive Locations you should paste following entries in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services.

In order to send and receive messages from SAP you need to have the correct schemas generated from SAP.
To successfully generate those schemas you need following prerequisites installed.
· BizTalk – SAP LOB Adapter SDK SP2
· BizTalk – Adapter Pack 2.0
· BizTalk – SAP client libraries
Create a new project in Visual Studio. Click “Add Generated Items”.
Select “Consume Adapter Service”.
Select the “sapBinding” and press “Configure”.
Configure the URI properties (application server host, the gateway host, the gateway service, the system number, the client, programid) and credentials provided.
When the configuration is finished press the “Connect button”.
In the following sceen you can Select Client (Outbound operations) or Server (Inbound Operations), then you can select the IDOC you want.
Be sure to select the correct version of the IDOC. Select the Send or Receive operation and click “OK” to generate the schema.
Generating a schema will provide you with the correct schemas and a binding file that you can use to setup the receive or send port.
(See blog post: “Communication with SAP through WCF custom adapter – Send and Receive Ports”)

Consider the following scenario:
Problem: When a message is received on this Receive Location, and there are no subscribers for it, you expect that the message in Format B will be received by your error-handling orchestration (or Send Port). However, in some scenarios (depending on the pipeline, pipeline configuration, etc), you see that the message received by the error-handling orchestration (or Send Port) is in Format A. How come?
Here’s what is most probably happening:
Question: What do you do if you want to have the message received by your error-handling orchestration (or send port) to be in Format B?
Answer: The output message from the pipeline must have the context property “SuspendMessageOnRoutingFailure” present, with a value of true (boolean).
How does that work? Well, it changes the sequence above to be as follows:
The out-of-box XML Disassembler component, has an option named “Recoverable Interchange”. When this option is set to true, the XML Disassembler internally translates this to mean “SuspendMessageOnRoutingFailure”=true, and sets this context property to the message.
Support for integration with IBM Mainframe and AS 400 is often mentioned as a key feature of BizTalk. And as many of these system are still in use, the knowledge of these adapters should be widely spread; -but unfortunately it is not.
In fact, it has been a challenge to even find anyone to do a session about this topic. It was not until we sent out a request for speaker on our blogs that we eventually found someone qualified to do the job. This is a great opportunity for anyone calling themselves a “BizTalk developer”, to find out how to use one of the key selling points of BizTalk, and open up some new prospects for business.
Are you in Stockholm on the 16th of March? Then come see Sam Vanhoutte and Peter Borremans from CODit talk about: Network integration, Data integration, Application integration and Messaging integration.

The AppFabric team hit another milestone today with the public availability of AppFabric Beta 2. Congrats team!!!
Now, because I know there must be some confusion out there, AppFabric is a brand, as I blogged about here. I’ve been doing some posts here lately about extending BizTalk ESB to Windows Azure AppFabric, but that’s not the AppFabric this is about, this is Windows Server AppFabric. It brings together what was formerly codename “Dublin” and codename “Velocity”, and provides a host for WF/WCF. This is a really interesting set of new capabilities that .NET developers are about to get, and I’ll start blogging more about it soon, as the SOA implications are significant.
You can learn more and get the beta here.
