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/

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,

"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)

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

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Reading PDF contents in BizTalk server 2013

Can BizTalk Server 2013 read PDF file contents? Or any third party tool can be plugged in BizTalk to achieve this.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

BizTalk as an “engine” can only read XML nothing else.
If you want to do some processing in BizTalk based on the PDF content, then PDF needs to be converted into XML. As of now there no out-of-box support to handle PDF file contents. By using a custom component (custom pipeline component) you got to covert the
PDF into XML file and produced XML files can be processed in BizTalk as usual. To get started for PDF pipeline component, read this codeplex pipeline component which in turn uses
itextsharp libarary.
http://pdf2xmlbiztalk.codeplex.com/
Or you can create your own custom decode pipeline component which converts the PDF to XML. Most of the custom component use 3<sup>rd</sup> part library
(there are many available).
Or when mean - “Can BizTalk
Server 2013 read PDF file contents” to route the PDF just using the pass-thru shall pass the BizTalk PDF as steam of byte through message box. You can also use
Orchestration to route the PDF message by following the suggestion mentioned here.,.

BAM Portal configuration error in BizTalk Server 2013 R2

I have tried 2 attempts to build out a BizTalk Server 2013 R2, I have followed the MSDN Install instructions, and I keep on getting an error when configuring BAM Portal. I have the logfile available, I need to know what the experts need to see in order to
give me an answer. Understand that we have been using BizTalk Server 2013 for the last two years, and a new developer wants the R2 version and BAM Portal configured. As an administrator I have fought this to no end, and now I have enough evidence to go back
to our project manager and explain why you do not install every feature on a server. Prove me wrong EXPERTS!

" I need to know what the experts need to see in order to give me an answer."
Experts needs:
1) Little background of the issue you are facing.
2) The log file generated.
3) The configuration of your server.
"now I have enough evidence to go back to our project manager and explain why you do not install every
feature on a server."
Disagree, It is indeed possible to install all the components and feature on a server. Somewhere someone would have installed BizTalk 2013 R2 and all its components in exactly same server configuration successfully in which you are trying to achieve, the
only difference could be a missing Package, Patch, Cumulative Update, Service or any configuration miss at your end.
Pls read more about BizTalk 2013R2 installation on Installation Overview for BizTalk Server 2013 and 2013 R2.

and Software Requirements for BizTalk Server 2013 and 2013 R2.

BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter with private key - Did not poll any files

Hello,
We have a requirement to connect SFTP secure site with the private key and polling files. Initially I have
tested BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter receiver Port using Bitvise SSH SFTP Server tool and it was working perfectly in our local network environment( with public private key authentication).
However when we connected to Client SFTP server with private key authentication, It successfully connected to SFTP Server but
did not poll any files from SFTP Site. I added only one file to SFTP Server ( 145 kb file) for testing purpose.
However BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Send Adapter is working well with the same configuration.
I could not find any errors in Event viewer also. I can download\upload file using WinSCP tool .
So I downloaded nSoftware SFTP Adapter trial version and deployed on server. nSoftware SFTP adapter is also working find
without any issues for Client SFTP Site.
This is the configuration on SFTP Receive Adapter
This is how SFTP Server download folder permission configured. I have got this details using WinSCP tool.
<o:p></o:p>
Appreciate your help on this.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks<o:p></o:p>
PrabathD<o:p></o:p>

BizTalk Adapter for SFTP is where the polling logic is implemented. It is not part of the SFTP Client logic. any SFTP Client is for User Interaction and you do what you want/when you want.
The BizTalk Receive however is for purposes of automation and the adapter polls the receive location using the credentials every polling interval to check for the files matching the filter. When it find a file, it will read and publish to message box or
submit to pipeline for processing. Your setting the polling interval to 0 (ZERO) might actually be disabling the polling.
Set your poll interval to a non-zero value and check the behavior.
Regards.

How can I tell if I have BizTalk server 2013 or 2013 R2

I have the developer version intalled on my machine. How can I tell if it's 2013 or 2013 R2? In looking at the version it states Version: 3.10.229.0
thank you.
jRenae.s

Thank you Maheshkumar,
I also looked in programs and features. But wasn't sure if it would be obvious just by at the name - it shows 'Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 Developer Edition'.
So if it was R2 would it show 'Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 R2 Developer Edition'?
