        As far as I know, the Microsoft Adapters are support by Microsoft.

        From my experience, any of the custom adapters are very specific to versions. That would be the same for Microsoft or IWay adapters. But, Msft or Iway might have a better answer.

        Hope this helps.

          So when we bought the adapters, we bought the IP as well. So, we fully support the current batch of adapters included with BizTalk. We’ve also changed a bit of the code to better align with our other adapters.

          With regards to versions, my personal experience (not necessarily Microsoft’s) is that you can often get alternate versions of LOB systems (Siebel, Peoplesoft, etc) to work just fine with the adapters. However, as you alluded to, it may not be supported. We are constantly testing against new versions, so check back when you’re ready to upgrade Tools versions (or contact me) and I can confirm support.

              Hi everyone,

              It is my understanding that BizTalk 2006 comes with several Line of Business adapters, such as JD Edwards, SAP, TIBCO, PeopleSoft, etc. As we are a JD Edwards shop, we are interesting in using the JDE adapter. Alternatively, we are looking at the adapter directly from iWay.

              I’m hoping someone can shed some light on a few points:

              Microsoft bought the adapter technology from iWay. Who is supporting it moving forward? Will there be 2 code paths, one from iWay and one from Microsoft?

              Right now, Microsoft docs indicate the adapter is for 8.10, Tools 8.94. What happens if we move to Tools 8.95 or 8.96? Will it work? Will we be supported?

              Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can give on this.

              – Brian

                  Thanks for the information. Very helpful!

                  rseroter…we are preparing to go to Tools 8.95. Could you verify support?

                  Thanks!
