Migrating Parties from Covast 2006 to BizTalk Server 2013

Guys,
I have around 300 EDI Covast parties setup in Biztalk Server 2006 and now we are upgrading these applications to BizTalk Server 2013. Is there anyway to get these parties migrated to BTS 2013 and create parties/agreements programatically.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

You may have to upgrade to BizTalk 2006 R2 and then use the Party Migration Tool [refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh183963.aspx] to migrate your parties.
You can also refer
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/bb259970(v=bts.80).aspx for 2013 specific Trading Partner Management Activities.

Biztalk Server 2013 does not support Windows Server 2012 R2

is there any document or statement from MS that States "Biztalk Server 2013 does not support Windows Server 2012 R2"

Hi Mohit,
I haven't come across any document, but there is a blog from Microsoft about it.

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

Search not working in site collections migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Server 2013

I have few site collections migrated from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint Server 2013 using database attach (first to 2010 and then to 2013).
When I search for anything in these migrated sites, I get "Nothing here matches your search".
Checked the crawl log for these sites and see this error for all items.
The content processing component failed to process the security descriptor of the item. ( The input ACL is invalid (1210 / 2072).; ; SearchID =
Some-Random-GUID )
Search works fine in newly created sites in 2013 environment.
Please help.

Hello
Did you migrate your users to claims when you migrated the databases?
$wa = Get-SPWebApplication http://yourdom.com
$wa.MigrateUsers($true)
$wa.ProvisionGlobally()
I assume the sites that work and the migrated content are in the same database?

How to migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server?

We are using Planning 11.1.1.3 Oracle repository. Presently our DR Planning Application name is different than production's name, and the DR's Windows server names are different from Production's. Otherwise, all other configuration the same.
How do we migrate Planning from Production to Disaster-Recovery server? We stopped Planning on DR server. Then we exported production planning Oracle repository and imported it to DR Planning. We restarted DR's Planning. DR planning seems to be running fine, but I am afraid to click "Refresh Planning" on DR Planning - it might update Production server. So how can I be sure DR and Production planning are disconnected ?
Is there anything we need to do? This method seems to be faster than migrating with LCM.
Edited by: Essbase Fan on Oct 18, 2010 10:11 AM

You are definitely go about it the correct way, if you are migrating the whole planning application I have to agree it is a safer and quicker route.
The connection information to essbase is stored in the planning system database/schema so as long as you have not migrated that then you should be good to refresh.
To put your mind at rest, log into the planning application and edit the datasource associated with the application then you will see where the essbase server is it is going to refresh.
Cheers

BizTalk Server 2013 R2 EDI EDIFACT custom Target Namespace is not being used

I have a client that has a partner that doesn't use the "out of the box" BizTalk EDIFACT 97A DELFOR schema. I'm using BizTalk Server 2013 R2. I need to use a custom target namespace. I have created a custom schema for EFACT_D97A_DELFOR with
a different namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006_<partnername>.
In the Parties agreement/Transaction Set Settings/Local Host Settings, I have the following in a separate row under the "Default", UNH2.1=DELFOR, UNH2.2=D, UNH2.3=97A and TargetNamespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006_<partnername>
It wants to use the out of the box schema from the error below but I need it to use the custom schema. If I change the input file with a UH2.5 value along with changing the root node to match it EFACT_D97A_DELFOR_<UNH2.5), it works but the partner
will not be sending this, so it's not an option.
Error details: An output message of the component "Unknown " in receive pipeline "Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.EdiPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
is suspended due to the following error:
Error encountered during parsing. The Edifact transaction set with id '' contained in interchange (without group) with id '000010080', with sender id '<senderid>', receiver id '<receiverid>' is being suspended with following
errors:
Error: 1 (Miscellaneous error)
70: Finding the document specification by message type "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006#EFACT_D97A_DELFOR" failed. Verify the schema deployed properly.
Error: 2 (Miscellaneous error)
71: Transaction Set or Group Control Number Mismatch
Error: 3 (Miscellaneous error)
29: Invalid count specified at interchange, group or message level
Any thoughts for this issue?
Thanks,
Sean

All,
Because the trading partner is not sending the UNH2.5, UNG2.1 and UNG2.2 values in the incoming message, the EDIFACT custom targetnamespace schema will not be used. I created a decode custom pipeline component where I inject the UNH2.5 element,changed
the rootnode to the trading partner specific schema to EFACT_D97A_DELFOR_XYZ (where "XYZ" is the value in the UNH2.5) and in the Party agreement->TransactionSetSettings->LocalHostSettings default row specifying the UNH2.1, UNH2.2
and UNH2.5, it will then use the custom schema(http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006#EFACT_D97A_DELFOR_XYZ. I could've injected the UNG segment
and used a custom target namespace and not changed the rootnode of the custom schema but didn't want to add all that extra segment information.
The example below assumes that the UNH segment only has values "up to" UNH2.4 only and appends the UNH2.5. Uses the UNA segement to dynamically set the componentDataElementSeparator.
//UNA segment e.g. UNA:+.? '
//this example above has ' as the segmentTerminator, : as the componentDataElementSeparator, + as the dataElementSeparator
string unaSegment = messageBody.Substring(0, messageBody.ToUpper().IndexOf("UNA") + 9);
string componentDataElementSeparator = unaSegment.Substring(3, 1);
string dataElementSeparator = unaSegment.Substring(4, 1);
string segmentTerminator = unaSegment.Substring(8, 1);
string UNH_Segment = messageBody.Substring(messageBody.ToUpper().IndexOf("UNH"));
UNH_Segment = UNH_Segment.Substring(0, UNH_Segment.IndexOf(segmentTerminator));
//inject UNH2_5 in the existing UNH_Segment
messageBody = messageBody.Replace(UNH_Segment,
UNH_Segment + componentDataElementSeparator + UNH2_5);
Thanks All for all your help!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hotfix KB2830546 for BizTalk Server 2013?

This is a question for MS:
I am a bit puzzled by the fact that a BizTalk Server hotfix is all of a sudden rolled out automatically through Windows Update?
Also this hotfix is marked "Important", but reading the description (The verical scroll bar on the target schema....) hardly seems critical to a production environment.
When examining the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2830546
it seems that there are two additional fixes inside it:
Note This update also resolves the issues that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) articles:•
2832136
FIX: User cannot perform certain database-related operations in BizTalk Server 2013
2832137
FIX: BAM tools cannot be configured in a multi-node BizTalk Server 2013 environment
Now these seems more critical! Is that the reason that it is pushed automatically? And why are two important updates "hidden" inside a "non-important vertical scroll bar" hotfix?
Can we expect other hotfixes for BizTalk to be pushed automatically in the future? (After all they used to require manual installation from CU's etc., which I found best practice since we then have the ability to install them in a test environment first)?
Morten la Cour

You can decide if you want to have automatic updates for BizTalk or not. BizTalk Server 2013 will release all updates through windows update (optionally you can download these manually). Why it only showed that one element is probably a bug, I'll inform
MS about this topic. But yes, MS have started pushing BizTalk updates through windows update in BizTalk 2013.

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.
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.
