Your WCF-SQL adapter is not comming up after you have installed it in BizTalk?

You installed the WCF LOB Adapter SDK? From the ASDK folder on the installation cd.

You Installed the adapter Pack? From the AdapterPack folder on the installation cd.

You did this: http://soa-thoughts.blogspot.com/2010/08/wcf-sql-adapter-table-operations.html

Which version did you install?x86, x64, were they both x86, or x64 ?

Still not comming up… What version of BizTalk did you install? x86 or x64?

If you installed x86, then you need to install x86 version of both of these, and then…. Go to the BizTalk Administration Console, Platform Settings, Under Adapters, right click and say new adapter…

See this again: http://soa-thoughts.blogspot.com/2010/08/wcf-sql-adapter-table-operations.html

Do you NOW see WCF-SQL adapter there ??

If in doubt install x86…. Handy Hint….

Curiosities: BizTalk codenames

Curiosities: BizTalk codenames

In the past I wrote an article about BizTalk Server, all logos over time, now while searching on the web, I came across with a funny curiosity: BizTalk codenames! Microsoft codenames are the names given by Microsoft to products it was in development, before given the names by which they appeared on store shelves. Unfortunately […]

From the phone through the cloud and into BizTalk on my laptop

Last week I sat down to prepare a demo for an ’application infrastructure’ workshop I’m running next week in which I wanted to demonstrate exposing a BizTalk WCF receive location accessed through the Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus.
