BizTalk Server 2013 R2 Orchestration as web service with untyped messages.

Hi,
I have created an orchestration in BizTalk server 2013 R2 which receives and send untyped messages to an public Request-Response port. And am trying to publish this orchestration as web service, am getting "Object reference not set to an instance"
error in the Publish Web service wizard. I didn't find any error details in event viewer.
Please let me know what is the issue with this and how resolve this.
Thanks,
Praveen

"Object reference not set to an instance" issue +Orchestration as WCF service + BizTalk
2013 R2 ..has no relation.
Just created an Orchestration, which would accept XMLDocument as input (Request) message and output (Response) message in both BizTalk 2013 and also in 2013 R2.
I can expose the Orchestration as WCF service without any issues as mentioned here and can able to send and get any XMLDocument to this server (Which is an Orchestration)

Difficulty in a Oracle SOA web-service with 2 message parts

Hi,
I am developing a web-service which should take 2 inputs - a string and a datetime. Also I have an xsd which I am importing into the wsdl to define the message elements.
I have 2 options to do this:
Option-1: Bundle these 2 input parameters into a single complex type in the xsd and then expose this complex-type as a single message part in the input message element. The wsdl operation tag then looks something like this:
+<wsdl:message name="RetrieveLoVRecordsRequest">+
+<wsdl:part name="part1" element="inp1:LoVInput"/>
+</wsdl:message>+
Option-2: Put these both these simple-types (the string & datetime inputs) in separate message parts. So wsdl operation looks like:
+<wsdl:message name="RetrieveLoVRecordsRequest">+
+<wsdl:part name="part1" element="inp1:LoVName"/>+
+<wsdl:part name="part2" element="inp1:LoVEffectiveDate"/>+
+</wsdl:message>+
I need 2 wsdl interfaces with one with option-1 & other with option-2
The web-service works fine in option-1. But for strange reason does not work correctly for option-2.
In option-2 the 1^st^ difficulty was that after I coded the wsdl in jdeveloper and did not attach an explicit binding to it, the message-part part2 does not show-up at all in the enterprise manager when I go to the web-service test page. When opened the WSDL URL in the browser it indicated that the SOAP sytle/encoding as Document/literal. Perhaps that's what it dafults to when no explicit binding is specified. I got around this problem by explicitly specifying a RPC/literal binding in the WSDL in jdeveloper. This then showed-up the 2 parts distinctly in the EM test console.
The 2^nd^ problem (which the main problem now) was that the web-service now started failing complaining about xsl transformation in the mediator
+ORAMED-01201:[Error in transform operation]Error occurred while transforming payload using "{0}" for target part "{1}".Possible Fix:Review the XSL or source payload. Either the XSL defined does not match with the payload or payload is invalid.+
Strangely I have correctly mapped the input & output parameters and the xsl is very simple having the 2 input parameters on the left being mapped to 2 corresponding parameters for the SQL where clause.
And when I went to the EM dashboard to inspect the failure, the input payload did not show any input being passed to the xsl transform in the mediator. This is how the input looks
+<message>+
+<properties>+
+<property name="tracking.compositeInstanceId" value="80053"/>+
+<property name="tracking.ecid" value="f2d97d6a53d56c9f:-58326bb8:13e15e68aab:-8000-000000000000113d"/>+
+<property name="transport.http.remoteAddress" value="10.110.173.159"/>+
+</properties>+
+<parts/>+
+</message>+
As you see above, the parts tag is blank; where it should contain part1 & part2
To summarise, when I add an RPC/literal binding to the WSDL the input to the wsdl seems to get chopped off !
Looking fwd to your help.

Hi Boatseller,
I will put this in simple way.
Can we set properties in biztalk wcf_custom adaptor like
1. <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport"
2. enableUnsecuredResponse="True"
or
includeTimestamp="false"
3. <textMessageEncoding
messageVersion="Soap11"/>
<httpsTransport/>
I am unable to find these properties in BizTalk wcf_custom adaptor properties. It will be great help if you could guide me in right direction . My problem is to receive response message into orchestration which is not having header. But the response is coming
from web service. I saw that in fiddler.
Also, If there is any steps to make these properties available in machine config, please share
Thanks in advance

Expose Orchestration as RESTful service in Biztalk Server 2013

Hello all,
I am having BizTalk application (orchestration)where I am receiving few info and sending it back some info to requestor.
I want to expose this orchestration as RESTful service, to do that I know we can use BiztTalk WCF Publishing wizard and select "WCF Web Http" but what needs to add in other fields ? can some one tell me ?
or point me to some example...
Note : I tried this example but no use ......http://seroter.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/exploring-rest-capabilities-of-biztalk-server-2013-part-1-exposing-rest-endpoints/

Domain users creation for BizTalk server 2013 installation

Hi all,
I am setting up biztalk 2013 environment clustered BizTalk server and single sql server. I would like to know the list of domain users and domain groups to be created and which groups these users to be a member of. I am also installing and would be using
Sharepoint to develop BizTalk interfaces.
Thanks
Please Help
Vikram

Hi Vikram ,
You need to create below Windows group on your AD before you start your BizTalk Configuration .
1)SSO Administrators:Administrator of the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) service.
2)SSO Affiliate Administrators :Administrators of certain SSO affiliate applications.Can create/delete SSO affiliate applications, administer user mappings, and set credentials for affiliate application users.
3)BizTalk Server Administrators:Has the least privileges necessary to perform administrative tasks Can deploy solutions, manage applications, and resolve message processing issues.
To perform administrative tasks for adapters, receive and send handlers, and receive locations, the BizTalk Server Administrators must be added to the Single Sign-On Affiliate Administrators.
4)BizTalk Server Operators:Has a low privilege role with access only to monitoring and troubleshooting actions
5) BizTalk Application Users:The default name of the first In-Process BizTalk Host Group created by Configuration Manager.Use one BizTalk Host Group for each In-Process host in your environment.Includes accounts with access to In-Process
BizTalk Hosts (hosts processes in BizTalk Server, BTSNTSvc.exe).
6)BizTalk Isolated Host Users :The default name of the first Isolated BizTalk Host Group created by Configuration Manager. Isolated BizTalk hosts not running on BizTalk Server, such as HTTP and SOAP.Use one BizTalk Isolated Host Group for
each Isolated Host in your environment.
7)BAM Portal Users :Has access to BAM Portal Web site.
8)BizTalk SharePoint Adapter Enabled Hosts :Has access to Windows SharePoint Services Adapter Web Service
9)BizTalk B2B Operators Group : A new BizTalk role that reduces the onus on the Administrators to perform all Party management operation. This role allows windows users associated with the role to perform all party management operations.
Now coming to domain User , you can have single -multiple setting were you can run SSO ,InProcess and Isolated on different domain user . You can also run all the configuration settings on single user as well .
Thanks

Problem with BizTalk server 2013 SFTP adapter on Cloud VM

All,
We have deployed Microsoft Biztalk Server 2013 Enterprise edition on a cloud VM. We are facing an issue with SFTP adapter to receive. Following are the details;
On this VM, we are facing an issue with BizTalk server 2013 SFTP adapter. The SFTP location can receive and send message through SFTP clients and .Net code. But using BizTalk server 2013 SFTP adapter we are only able to send the file on SFTP location but
could not receive the files from same location.
We are getting just one line error in system event log that is :
Event#7011. A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication service.

BizTalk Server 2013 and deployment MSI with dynamic send ports

Hello community, wonder if any help out there for this odd problem.
Deployment of application msi fails into BizTalk 2013 prod environment, fails when deploying the project dll that contains all the orchestrations,
and reports a failure to apply early bindings. The only early bindings in this project are dynamic send ports. I cannot recreate the problem in in my QAS environment where deployments of the same msi works fine.
I can build an msi without any bindings at all except for the dynamically created ones, and this also display the same behaviour on import.
I have test deployed a 2nd unrelated app that also uses dynamic send ports, and this displays the problem.
Adding the assembly directly to BizTalk console displays the same behaviour.
Deployment of msi apps without dynamic send ports are ok.
The dynamic ports use a pipeline including a custom pipeline component which I can confirm is available in the correct directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013\Pipeline Components
No specific further detail is available in the error except.
Import Wizard[09/05/2014 08:20:47]: Error in Importing Application
Import Wizard[09/05/2014 08:20:47]: Change requests failed for some resources.
BizTalkAssemblyResourceManager failed to complete end type change request.
Unable to deploy early bindings.
Failed to update binding information.
Error in the application.
Other information that may be relevant:
The main difference between QAS and PROD is that PROD is a two node cluster. Import behaviour is the same if attempted on either node. Assemblies are installed in both nodes currently.
The dynamic ports are set on handlers that are non-clustered hosts (all are for adapter type SMTP).
I have ensured that all the adapter handlers are identically setup in both environments.
The project files were migrated to BizTalk 2013 from BizTalk 2010, imported and then converted using VS 2012.
The msi has installed the assemblies as per usual and they do exist in the .net 4 gac
There is a reference to a shared resource in a different application, this application is installed and imported ok.
I’m a bit stuck at what to try now, I have option where I could recreate the dynamic ports from scratch in the orchestrations and redeploy to dev in the hope it’s something that VS2012 didn’t handle too gracefully
when converting the project. I could move the functionality into a helper class and forget about using dynamic sends, rather not go down that route. I'm still suspecting this is small difference in setup
of the group between QAS and PROD but I can't see anything jumping out.
Any comments are most welcome.

Two things.
1. That's what I would do first, recreate (really just change and reset the properties) the Orchestration Ports in Visual Studio.
2. Probably not related but, Custom Pipeline Components should not be placed in the Pipeline Components folder. All Custom Pipeline Components should be in the GAC only. The Pipeline Components folder
is a compatibility vestige from BizTalk Server 2004.

Biztalk 2010 - Consume Web Service with Certificate

Hi
I have to consume a java web service with Biztalk that requires authentication via a client certificate. Until now I have not been able to consume any web service where any kind of authentication was needed. Simple web services without authentication are
no problem. Also using SoapUI works perfectly fine.
I am generating the XSDs and the port binding with the WCF wizard in VS2010. I've read several comments that it's not possible to consume web services with the WCF-WSHttp adapter when the message format should be SOAP 1.1. Therefore I'm trying with the WCF-BasicHttp
and WCF-Custom adapters, but I did not suceed in receiving a positive response yet.
The web service I want to consume uses a client certificate (with a private key) and two root certificates. When I use the BasicHttp adapter I choose either 'Transport' or 'TransportWithMessageCredential' but none of them work. I also have to supply a client
and a service certificate. I always use the one with the private key for the client but I'm not sure which one I have to use for the service. Is there a possibility that I have to provide both root certificates and if so, how can I achieve this?
Hope the question makes sense somehow... thanks for any input.
Error message that I receive currently is that the server needs a client certificate. However I attached it in the send port properties under the tab "Security" => mode "TransportWithMessageCredential".

Adapter: WCF-Custom
Binding: customBinding
Cannot send pictures (yet).

EDI Batching Biztalk Server 2013

Hi All,
Please help me with configuration steps to do EDI batching (Outbound) in
Biztalk server 2013 Enterprise edition. No methods provided online worked. I need this urgent, pls help.
Thanks in advance.

The BatchMarker is a Pipeline Component but you're debugging through and Orchestration so there's a disconnect somewhere. Are you running the Pipeline in the Orchestration?
Either way, if the Message is being published from an Orchestration, any Promotedness from a Pipeline is not retained. You must use the Correlation Technique to Promote specific Context Properties from an Orchestration. Details here:

Manage Orchestration by Web Service

For handing exception of Orchestration in Biztalk, does it possible to correct the message content and resume the Orchestration by web service or sharepoint outside Biztalk Admin Console?
I am using Biztalk 2009 in my project

What you want to implement is repair and resubmit pattern. <o:p></o:p>
One options as discussed by the below blogpost (in reference) is using SharePoint and InfoPath. You can have a custom exception handler where BizTalk can
write out the failed message to a forms library, then users could click a link there and edit the failed message in InfoPath. When ready, the user clicks “re-submit”
which InfoPath could send to a web service which can resent the message to BizTalk.
http://www.brianloesgen.com/blog/2007/6/24/when-biztalk-meets-sharepoint-it-makes-sense.html
Other options is explore the how the Repairing and Resubmitting has been implemented in ESB portal. Its uses the combination of ESB web services and InfoPath, you can
either resuse this functionality in ESVB portal or you can create your similar to ESB portal.

BAM Activity and view issue on BizTalk server 2013 R2 machine.

Hello all,
I am trying to make BAM portal work since couple of days but no luck yet...
I ma using BizTalk server 2013 R2.
I am trying to deploy the activity and view from my Development server to Test server ( it's working fine on Developemnt).
I have gone through one post and found this and followed steps here is the output for that :
First confirm that you can see the name of the activity in the list of deployed activity by executing this command:
bm.exe get-activities
--> I can see the activity name in there so I belive that activity is got created.
While creating the BAM activity you must have created/deployed a view get the name of the view by using this command:
bm.exe get-views -Activity:<activity name>
--> I can see the view name in there so I belive that view is exist.
You need to provide permission to the account you are using to access the BAM portal on this view by using this command.
bm.exe add-account -AccountName:”<AccountName>” -View:<viewname>
--> while executing this command is got error as :
Using 'BAMPrimaryImport' BAM Primary Import database on server 'TESTSERVER'...
ERROR: Security management of the BAM view failed.
The SQL role for the specified view is missing.
Note : My BAMAlert service is running and running using
GROUP\~biztalkservice account I am logged on Test Server using "NitinUser" account with administrator rights.
What does this mean - if this mean that I needs to give rights to my user (NitinUser) on SQL Database please tell me how to do that ? with command....
Thanks and Regards, Nitin.

Hi Nitin,
Can you try the solution as suggested by Thiago Almeida.
http://connectedthoughts.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/bam-deployment-gotchas/
His solution for this problem is to remove the view and re-add it, which worked for him. Obviously I didn't encounter this error, so have to suggest the solution from community.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.
Hello Ashwin,
As per that post the author was having issue that view was not created ...
also have noticed one thing that by executing following command in sql management studio.
use
BamPrimaryImport
SELECT
SUSER_SNAME(owner_sid),nameFROMsys.DATABASES
on my development box it's showing my user GROUP\nitinUser and Name = CustomBizTalkDB
but when I execute this on TEST server, entry for GROUP\nitinUser is not in database
Thanks and Regards, Nitin.

Migrating From BizTalk 2009 To Biztalk server 2013

Hi All,
My current solution is on BizTalk 2009 and my client is thinking of migrating to BizTalk 2013 . Please suggest me is it a good idea to migrate to BizTalk 2013.
Please provide me a difference between 2009 to 2013
Difference between 2009 to 2013 and main features.
Thanks and Regards
Dhanavel S

Hi Dhanavel,
Why don’t you think about migrating to BizTalk 2013 R2 which is available now. Anyway
First and foremost thing, BizTalk Server 2009’s mainstream support from Microsoft has ended on 08-July-2014. After mainstream support, customer will get extended support until
09-July-2019. So you're are in extended support phase now. Find out the following blogpost where you will know more about what you can get and what you’re going to miss from Microsoft support for BizTalk Server 2009. And also about what you have to do next.
Why you have to migrate to the latest version.
BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends.What to do next?
Apart from losing the benefits of mainstream support against the extended support and apart from getting the benefits of latest offering/features of the newer version of the
product, BizTalk server 2009 is closely dependent on its underlying platforms like Windows Server 2008 (or Window server 2003/Windows XP-SP3/Windows Visa SP1), SQL Server 2008 (or SQL Server 2005 SP2) and Visual Studio 2008. So its high time to migrate.
BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends. What to do next?
Some of the benefits of migrating from BizTalk 2009 to BizTalk 2013.
Platform upgrades:
BizTalk 2013 uses following, so when you upgrade from BizTalk 2009 to 2013, you will get the benefits by upgrading your platforms.
Windows Server 2012 (BizTalk 2009 uses Windows Server 2009)
Visual Studio 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses Visual Studio2008)
.NET Framework 4.5 (BizTalk 2009 uses .NET 3.5)
SQL Server 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses SQL 2008)
Virtualization support for Hyper-V (this feature is available from BizTalk 2010 onwards)
Some of the other benefits include
Better support to could
Azure Service Bus. And support for
BizTalk Server running on Azure IaaS
BizTalk Server 2013 Support for RESTful Services
More support towards WCF-based adpaters.
Secure FTP with new FTPS Adapter and an improved FTP Adapter
Out-of-box support to SFTP Adapter
Enhancements to the IBM Hosts Systems adapters
Update to BizTalk mapper
Updated Trading Partner Management (TPM) Capabilities.
Updates to industry schemas like HIPPA, HL7, SWIFT and SWIFTNet
Seamless ability to leverage BizTalk capabilities from SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Service to Line-of-Business systems
BizTalk Server setting dashboard for setting to
configuring the key performance, throttling, and tracking settings of your entire BizTalk group while offering fine grained control all the way down to the Host
Instance level.
