Biztalk to Salesforce

Hi,
I need a help at present I followed the MSDN code to connect Salesforce and retreive Salesforce Notification in the below code provided MSDN link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn198272(v=bts.80).aspx
Code written in MSDN as Biztalk will receive the Notifications when the sales force workflow action is triggered configured the endpoint using Azure Account.
My requirement is similar solution like mentioned in MSDN but I dont want to use Windows Azure. My Biztalk Application should
receive the salesforce Notifications when a Salesforce workflow action is triggered.
So, How do I need to configure endpoint in Receive Port If i dont want to use Windows Azure

Hi,
Thanks for the reply I followed your approach but while workflow action is triggered
I am getting the error as 503 service available as below screenshot I exposed My Orchestration as a WCF service with WCF-Basichttp Binding as Receive Location as you mentioned and my service URL looks like
http://MyComputername/BtsSalesforceInboundflow/NotificationService_NotificationServiceClient_SalesforceNotificationPort.svc

Biztalk 2013 Salesforce Integration error

Hi,
I am implementing sales force Integration to BizTalk2013 WCFwebhttp Adapter. Here is the below code of MSDN I followed.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn198272(v=bts.80).aspx
Here is the Code sample
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Integrating-BizTalk-Server-f31e4286
Code will be working fine outside of corporate network. After connecting to corporate network i am facing the below error.
Please help me to resolve.
System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at https://na15.salesforce.com/services/data/v24.0/query?q=SELECT+Amount%%2c+Id%%2c+Name%%2c(SELECT+Quantity%%2c+ListPrice%%2cPricebookEntry.UnitPrice%%2c+PricebookEntry.Name+FROM+OpportunityLineItems)+FROM+Opportunity+Where+Name+%%3d+'Opportunity3+with+Customer+1'
that could accept the message.
This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details. ---> System.Net.WebException:

SalesForce BizTalk 2013 Integration

Hi there,
I'm playing with BizTalk and SalesForce, trying to figure out what would be the best approach to the problem of integration of these two systems.
Up to this moment I have figured out that there is a Windows Azure Service Bus approach, with Service Bus acting as a relay between SF and on premises BT2013 as well as the MSMQ approach.
Could anyone recommend any of these solution as better ?
What makes me concerned about MSMQ is - I've read somewhere that it becomes outdated. For example the MSMQT transport is deprecated in BT2010 and higher.
However the Azure Service Bus approach makes me worried about the long term costs of the solution. Is the data transfer going through that Service Bus ? And what would the cost of that be in a long run inc case we need to trasfer 1GB of data every year/moth/week?
Thanks in advance.

Integrating Dynamics AX to Microsoft CRM using biztalk

I like to know what is the way to integrate Dynamics AX with Dynamics CRM . For AX integration using biztalk no issue. I need to give a demo to integrate Dynamics AX with CRM using Biztalk. For demo I need to consume WCF service of AX and push that
data to CRM . How I can do that.
1)Consume AX service in Biztalk - Easy no issue
2)How I can push this dat to CRM -????? That is what I like to know .
I don't see there is adapter for Dynamics CRM . Basically we are trying to compare Biztalk with Mulesoft for this purpose.
So let me know what is option in Biztalk to integrate with CRM???

BizTalk Transformation

Hi,
I'm justing playing a bit with Logic Apps right now. I have one question regarding the BizTalk Transform Service. My current test scenario is: Azure Service Bus > BizTalk Transform > Salesforce
I uploaded a MABS Tranformation and now want to use the target xml nodes in my Salesforce destination. My question is how can I do that? In the saleforce connector is only "OutputXml" available. Because I couldn't find any documention, I've just
tried @body('transformservice').OutputXml.Root.lastname in my salesforce connector, but that didn't work. A transformed XML has following structure:
Root
- Lastname
- Firstname
Any help is welcome, thanks!

Hi MaNuRa,
Add the moment there is no way to reference particular nodes of an XML object within logic apps. This why you only see "OutputXml" as an available input to your salesforce connector.
We'll will be adding a JSON encoder in the near future to help handling XML and make it accessible to the logic apps runtime.

Hi Yes I tried it in my browser I am able to browse
BizTalkServiceInstance Service
You have created a service.
To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:
svcutil.exe http://abmlpt-051/BtsSalesforceInboundflow/NotificationService_NotificationServiceClient_SalesforceNotificationPort.svc?wsdl
You can also access the service description as a single file:
http://abmlpt-051/BtsSalesforceInboundflow/NotificationService_NotificationServiceClient_SalesforceNotificationPort.svc?singleWsdl
This will generate a configuration file and a code file that contains the client class. Add the two files to your client application and use the generated client class to call the Service.
For example:
C#
class Test
static void Main()
NotificationService_NotificationServiceClient_SalesforceNotificationPortClient client = new NotificationService_NotificationServiceClient_SalesforceNotificationPortClient();
// Use the 'client' variable to call operations on the service.
// Always close the client.
client.Close();
Visual Basic
Class Test
Shared Sub Main()
Dim client As NotificationService_NotificationServiceClient_SalesforceNotificationPortClient = New NotificationService_NotificationServiceClient_SalesforceNotificationPortClient()
' Use the 'client' variable to call operations on the service.
' Always close the client.
client.Close()
End Sub
End Class

Retrieving data from Salesforce SOAP API

Hi
I would like to using BizTalk 2010 to call the 'query' web method of the SalesForce SOAP API and have it return some data I further process in BizTalk. There are various online examples, albeit quite old ones, of sections of what I want to achieve
this but no complete examples with sample code. I would like to avoid doing any SalesForce APEX customisation.
So far I have a SalesForce account and have created some contacts. In BizTalk I've created an orchestration, which calls a Helper class. This C# helper class just logs into SalesForce and returns a Session ID and Server URL. BizTalk then
creates a SalesForce 'query' message, with a query such as 'SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Contact'. I then populate the message header with the Session ID and using a dynamic port, set the address to be the Server URL. This seems ok, I get the
sessionID and Server URL, but when calling the 'query' method from the orchestration I just get a 'The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.' error.
I really can't see what I doing wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Colin.

Correctly pointed out by Ashwin, this error is definitely due to wrong message structure/data value being passed across to the server.
Periodically there are refresh happening in Salesforce Sandbox database to bring it in sync with production Salesforce database. After such refresh
there might be problems to connect or communicate with Salesforce.com using SOAP receiver adapter.
To debug the issue further you can import the latest enterprise WSDL into the SOAP UI tool and set up proxy server details if any. Under each project
there will be operations such as login, logout, query etc. Right click on query and generate new instance of query. This is because this helps to find out the exact structure of the SOAP message being accepted by Salesforce.com. There cannot be any change
in number of tags or name of tags in SOAP message.
Compare the message structure with the message you have created in orchestration. Issue could be as simple as difference in namespace information.

Processo NFE - Biztalk GRC

Bom dia a todos, estamos implementando NFE e gostaria de saber se alguem ja passou por algo parecido.
Iremos partir de um software em VB que ira enviar para o GRC via biztalk...alguem ja passou por essa situação? Gostaria de saber como o BIztalk irá startar, se possivel também, as RFC.
Obrigado,

Henrique,
Voce teria alguma documentação ou link referente a interface SOAP to RFC.
Como eu disse anteriormente, temos o seguinte cenario
Biztalk -> SAP GRC/PI -> Sefaz..
Preciso entender melhor a configuração necessária para a realização desse processo.
Obrigado mais uma vez.

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).

Looking for help with respect to configuring MS Exchange server to handle attachments over 10 MB for forwarding to Salesforce (Email-to-case).
Problem - SFDC does not create cases from emails that have more than 10 MB of attachments. Our clients will not go-live if their clients cannot send in emails with attachments over 10 MBs
Potential resolution - Configure MS exchange to strip off the attachments(if over 10 MB) and store it in a public folder, forward the email to Salesforce (so the case gets created or the email
is associated to an existing case), the client should have some way to know if the attachments were stripped off and should be able to dlownload the attachments and continue with case resolution.
Any help is appreicated!
Thanks

Hi,
From your description, you want to achieve the following goal:
Configure Exchange to filter the attachments if the size is over 10 MB and store it in a public folder, and then forward the email to Salesforce.
Based on my knowledge, I'm afraid that it can't be achieved. Exchange can filter messages with attachments, but it couldn't store these attachments on public folder automatically. Also, I don't see any transport rule can do it.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,
Amy Wang

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

New line character (/n ) getting introduced in the response XML in Biztalk 2010

Hello,
In one of our enviornment, we have started facing an issue that the response XML does not get structered correctly, hence when the response is finally redenered, there is a /n in the response fields. this is for all string fields that do not have data .
e.g.
If you see the sample below, FName field has data and hence is structered correctly, however HairColorCd does not have data.
The opening and closing tags of HairColorCd are on different lines when the xml response is opened in a text editor, and when opened in IE, there is a space. When the BizTalk (hosted as a WCF )responds to the caller application there appears a '/n ' in the
value of the field.
The correct value should have been null, i.e. ""
<FName>LISA</FName><HairColorCd>
    </HairColorCd><HairColorDesc>
    </HairColorDesc><EyeColorCd>
    </EyeColorCd><EyeColorDesc>
    </EyeColorDesc>
ANy ideas on why this is happenning?ALl other enviornments(with same code) is working fine.

Hi Rachana,
I have faced the same issue last weeks with BizTalk 2010. This happens with versions of BizTalk 2006R2+ and if you are loading the message using XML Document in some stage. So if that is the case, please check everytime you load the content of the
message using XMLDocument and do it this way:
Xmldoc= new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
Xmldoc.PreserveWhitespace=false;
Xmldoc.Load(CONTENT); // or Xmldoc.LoadXml(CONTENTAsSTRING)
Xmldoc.PreserveWhitespace=true;
YourBizTalkMessage=Xmldoc;
Do it in this sequence and your problem should be solved.

Using Federated Security in BizTalk against custom Token Provider and Custom Token

Hi,
I as the topic states, I'm trying to get BizTalk to use a Custom Token Provider with custom tokens.
So I thought this would be rather painless using ws2007FederationHttpBinding but got stuck. The problem is that the service expect soap action and a special structure (se example):
Request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsc="common.namespace" xmlns:ws="securitytoken.namespace">
   <soapenv:Header>
      <wsc:AutHeader>
Containing Custom Auth header information tags, about 20 or so
      </wsc:AutHeader>
   </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ws:SECSSecurityTokenCreate_V1_0InputArgs>
         <ws:SecurityTokenCreateRequest>
            <ws:securityToken></ws:securityToken>
         </ws:SecurityTokenCreateRequest>
      </ws:SECSSecurityTokenCreate_V1_0InputArgs>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Response:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<SECSSecurityTokenCreate_V1_0OutputArgs xmlns:ns2="common.namespace" xmlns="tokenservice,namespace">
<SecurityTokenCreateResponse>
<securityToken>  </securityToken>
</SecurityTokenCreateResponse>
<ResponseState>
<ns2:ErrorCode>0</ns2:ErrorCode>
<ns2:Severity>0</ns2:Severity>
<ns2:ComponentId>201</ns2:ComponentId>
<ns2:StrErrorCode xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />
<ns2:Message>OK</ns2:Message>
<ns2:NativeError xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />
<ns2:LogSequence xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />
</ResponseState>
</SECSSecurityTokenCreate_V1_0OutputArgs>
</soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
Error Message in BizTalk, when I send message via ws2007FederationHTTPBinding to the SOAP service, as expected the soap structure dosent match the expected one from the server, most obvisly is the missing SOAP action and incorrect BODY element.
System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException: The content type text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. The first 521 bytes of the response were: '<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<soap:Code>
<soap:Value>Server</soap:Value>
</soap:Code>
<soap:Reason>

<soap:Text xml:lang="en">Missing operation for soapAction [null] and body element [{http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-sx/ws-trust/200512}RequestSecurityToken] with SOAP Version [SOAP 1.2]</soap:Text>
</soap:Reason>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>'. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at System.Servi
My plan to solve this is to try using beahviors added to the "inner" wcf binding that will help reconstruct the message from the standard form that I has, but I'm a bit vorried that I start to solve this and later on I'll have to add custom handling
for token extraction and handling since the token should be placed in a custom header in the soap envelope with custom namespace =).
So my question is, could this be solved via sw2007FederationHttpBinding or is an orchestration and some custom code for signing the path forward?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!

It's a little tough to use sw2007FederationHttpBinding, I faced similar situation before. :(

Windows Phone and Windows Store Apps Technical Guru - November 2013

Various Media Objects for Windows Phone and Their Roles

Uwe Ricken
When Foreign Keys will conflict with FILLFACTOR
Jinchun Chen: "Nice! I love it."
NN: "Great article, very comprehensive. Few drawbacks - it doesn't explain in details what the correct solution should be. Also, the code samples to the article include line numbers which make them harder to copy"
Ed Price: "As Saeid in the comments wrote, "I love this article. This article defines the quality!" Between the explanations, code, comments, and diagram, the story is told well."
Samuel Lester: "Outstanding explanation, format, and write-up! Superb again Uwe!"
DB: "Very interesting both in content and technique. "
DRC: "Very nice article, well documented with sample script and sample output. If we add the references to few of the topics discussed, would be helpful to understand the concept better so that the reader will get the complete picture
of the blog talks about. Definitely a TechNet WIKI article. "
Ronen Ariely
SQL Server: Create Random String Using CLR
NN: "This article can not be read by its own without reading the article it refers to. The code is not explained, the process of creating CLR function is also not explained. So, it is not clear how this
C# code is used in SQL Server at all"
Ed Price: "This could benefit from much more explanation. "
Samuel Lester: "Very good article and a great in-depth break-out that compliments your broader random string tech-net Wiki article. Great read!"
DRC: "It would have been better if the code would also provide the below details: 1. How to load the dll generated in SQL Server memory 2. Sample T SQL script to use the function and a sample output for the same. "
