Oracle Receive Function and Application Integration Component. Oracle Pipes Support OLEDB Receive Function and Application Integration Component SQL Server Receive Function and Application Integration Component SQL Server Notification Services Receive Function and Application Integration Component. SQL Template Application Integration Component. More The Oracle AIC can optionally be exposed as a Web Service. The Web Service can be run from an existing server that has BizTalk Utilities Adapter for Databases installed or from another Server. (As an interim solution for accessing Oracle Functionality from BizTalk Server 2004). A sample BizTalk Server 2004 project is also included. (If anyone has the same requirements for the any of the other Database AICs then please let us know so that we can expose the AICs as Web Services as well.) A Legacy Database and Oracle Command AIC has been added, allowing you to execute SQL Statements and optionally return a result to BizTalk Server. Oracle Pipes Support. BizTalk Utilities now allows you to receive Messages from an Oracle Pipe and send Messages to an Oracle Pipe. This will allow a an Oracle trigger to send a Message to an Oracle pipe as soon as data changes within the Oracle Database. A BizTalk Utilities Receive Function can then pick up the Message from the Oracle Pipe and Process it. Oracle Pipes are asynchronous, so it will not impact the Oracle Server. Support for Stored Procedures in the Legacy Database and Oracle AIC has been added. Receive Functions Oracle: Submit records from an Oracle Data Source to BizTalk Server in XML Format at specifies Intervals or standalone. You also have the option to split resultsets into a specified number of records. Legacy Database: Submit records from an ODBC Data Source to BizTalk Server in XML Format at specifies Intervals or standalone. You also have the option to split resultsets into a specified number of records. Notification Services: Submit Events received from SQL Server Notification Services to BizTalk Server. Application Integration Components Oracle Command: Execute SQL Statements on a Oracle Data source and optionally return a result to BizTalk Server.. Oracle: Interact with Oracle Data Sources. Legacy Database: Interact with ODBC Data Sources. Legacy Database Command: Execute SQL Statements on a ODBC Data source and optionally return a result to BizTalk Server. SQL Template: Execute Microsoft SQL Server Templates. Notification: Submit Events to SQL Server Notification Services.

The aim of the Adapter is to reduce the complexity and implementation time when integrating a SAP System with BizTalk Server 2002/4. You can read more about the BizTalk Utilities adapter for SAP here (or download the Adobe PDF version) The Adapter provides the following functionality: Sending, Receiving and BizTalk Schema generation of SAP IDocs (Version 2.0.0+ Feature) RFC Interface: The RFC interface allows BizTalk Server to call a SAP Remote Function Call without writing any code. BizTalk Server can call the RFC synchronously or asynchronously. The only requirement is a generated SAP .NET Connector Client Proxy. A detailed error message is provided when an invalid Document Replacement Function is detected. The RFC Interface allows BizTalk Server to make a SAP Remote Function Call without writing any code. The RFC Interface consists of a single BizTalk Application Integration Component (AIC). The RFC Interface requires that a SAP .NET Connector Client Proxy is generated and compiled with the SAP .NET Connector in Visual Studio .NET. The SAP Adapter has been enhanced to cater for the sending and receiving of IDocs. It has the following features: Uses the SAP .NET Connector Version 1.0.1 Generation of BizTalk Schemas from IDoc Types within a SAP System. IDocs can be received and submitted to BizTalk Server 2002/4 using a Receive Function. It features an advanced routing mechanism for submitting the documents to BizTalk Server. IDocs can be sent to a SAP System using an Application Integration Component (AIC). All of this can be easily configured within the BizTalk Utilities Adapter for SAP Administration MMC Snap-In. In addition the routing of IDocs can be tested within the MMC Snap-In. The Adapter does not require that any changes be made to your existing SAP System. The Schemas include the following records: Control Records Data Records Status Records It can generate schemas for the following SAP Releases SAP Release 2 SAP Release 3 SAP Release 4 Support Please post your enquiries to our BizTalk Utilities online support forum and we'll answer you there (login required) BizTalk 2004 Legacy adapter Bridge BizTalk Server 2004 features a revamped Adapter Framework. The premise is that existing Adapters developed for BizTalk Server 2002 cannot be used within this new Framework and would have to re-developed. If we look at the fact that almost 45% of existing Adapters have been developed by customers themselves this could leave quite an effort when planning to migrate to BizTalk Server 2004. The BizTalk Utilities Legacy Adapter allows you to use your existing Adapters developed for BizTalk Server 2002 within BizTalk Server 2004, without having to re-develop them for the new Adapter Framework. You can read more about the BizTalk Legacy adapter Bridge here (or download the Adobe PDF version.) Email us if you are interested in receiving more details about the 2004 Legacy adapter Bridge
