        Greetings!

        I need to drop a file into a Q from BizTalk

        We have a box set up for MQSeries (MQS).  The process currently works on a webMethods platform but we are migrating it to BizTalk 2009.

        I must connect with a User Name and Password.

        I built the send port – the first uh-oh was no place for the credentials.

        After searching the InterWeb it looks like I need to install more components in COM+?  I am a bit confused by the documentation.  And – would the needed credentials go into the COM+ identity tab?

        I heard that there is a new adapter that does not require COM+?

        I guess a high level explanantion of the steps to get a Newbie started would help.

        Thanx much-much

          Hi,

          If I remember correctly – MQ Series Adapter needs configuration in COM +, last version I worked with it was 3 years ago, and it did need configuration as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561858(v=BTS.20).aspx

          Also need to cofigure MSDTC.

              Hello!

              Thanks for the reply.  I was looking at that document also and it gave me half of what I needed.  I have made some ground and gotten the admin permissions to work on the MQS server.  My next step is to figure out how to install the BizTalk MQS COM+ Agent on the server.  I don’t want to install all of BizTalk.

              At this link there seems to be an alternative.  Does it make sense to anyone?

                  Well- Ihave made some progress. Earlier today we installed the agent for COM+ talking to MQS on the MQS server.  That went OK.  THe wizard then has you build a COM+ application.  It results in something where all the properties are grayed out and you can not change anything.

                  Now – here is where it gets weird.  The MSDN then tells me to move 3 of the 5 methods from this application to a new COM+ application.  However – since the original application is immutable you don’t get the move option!  And – it weirds me out that one would move 3 out of 5 methods when they are all part of the same DLL!

                  Has anyone worked with this?

                      Hi Everyone.

                      I am still having problems with this.  At this point we have ironed out the network stuff and BizTalk can inseed talk to a COM+ object on the MQS server.  The Q is built and working – webMethods posts to it now.  But BizTalk acts like it does not know it is even supposed to send it.  I have built the COM+ adapter and such, tested server connectivity, made the send ports, and I don’t even get an error or suspended orchestration.  No events, but I know the orchestration is running well as there are some other deliveries to SMPT and they are just dandy.

                      Any help is welcome.

                      Thanx,
