WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Robert Clarke — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 16:21:01 GMT

I'm trying to get my BT2006 to talk to wss3 (works fine with a wss2 port) but am getting an error that implies there is some configuration stopping this. I have changed the file name so that it doesn't include the message ID, and is just a static name 'Invoice.xml'. I'm new to wss so it might be something silly rather than a bug, but any information would be appreciated. Thanks

I believe you are getting this error because SharePoint is not routing the web service calls to the BTSharePointAdapterWS virtual folder. WSS v3 has been updated so that only included paths are managed explicitly (you can no longer define exludeded paths), instead they are excluded automatically. IISRESET should fix the problem. Can you update the BTSharePointAdapterWS web.config to comment out the

section, run IISRESET and then browse to the web service page? You should be able to see web service page. If you see the page, then try sending a message again.

Installation quesion

Andrew vR — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 14:16:39 GMT

I have an environment where it is not feasible to uninstall v3 (to be able to do the adapter install on a v2 system), so I decided to try to push through on the installation of the SharePoint adapter on my WSS v3 system.

The installation fails with a message regarding prerequisites not being available. The installation log is very useful since it appears to detail the list of items the installer is looking for, and highlighting those it can't find. I have been through and installed the missing items, except for 2. The first was SSO (which I don't think is actually a prerequisite - I am assuming that the installer just needs to know if it's there or not), but the second has me stumped.

This is the component:
[11:01:52 Info] Detecting platform component: Microsoft Primary Interoperability Assemblies 2005
[11:01:52 Info] Component is not installed.

Any idea what these are and where they come from?

re: Installation quesion

Adrian Hamza — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 20:06:17 GMT

Is this a single box scenario where on the same machine you are installing WSS Adapter web service, and BizTalk Runtime? If that's true, then you do need to install SSO and possibly other components. Otherwise, if you are installing on multiple machines, then BizTalk Runtime, SSO and possibly some other components need to be installed on the 1t machine. On the 2nd machine with WSS v3 you only need WSS Adapter Web Service.

You can take a look at the installation guides found here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B273269C-97E0-411D-8849-5A8070698E4A&displaylang=en

Andrew vR — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 19:48:50 GMT

Thank you for your response. I followed your advice and installed BT SSO onto my SharePoint server which had the side effect of installing those Primary Interoperablity Assemblies that I could not track down. But it still did not open up the tick boxes for SharePoint adapter and BAS installation. I even enabled SharePoint's SSO service (after removing the quotes from the ImagePath key!), to no avail.

The install log shows up clean (all components found), but the install window still has a comment about missing pre-requisities.

And I have now run out of time on this so I may just move the file up with some C# code instead, much as I dislike the idea.

Thanks again for your help.

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Adrian Hamza — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 20:25:06 GMT

For BAS and WSS adapter web service you need the following pre-requisites:

WSS 2003
SP2 for WSS 2003 (this is a WSS SP, not an OS SP)
If WSS language is different from BizTalk language, you need to install a WSS language pack that adds support for the language that you have for BizTalk.

Andrew vR — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 14:44:51 GMT

I realise that, and I am trying to install it onto a WSS v3 machine, so I am not too suprised. The machine had never had WSS v2 installed, so I tried to trick the installer by creating a ..\web server extensions\60\ISAPI directory and copying the v3 OWSSVR.DLL file into it.

According to the installer log, it was happy with that, but obviously there is another check that the installer log does not report.

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Adrian Hamza — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 01:09:58 GMT

Oh, I'm sorry, it totally slipped by me that you are trying this on WSS v3. The way I tried this was by installing it and configuring on WSS v2 and then upgrade to WSS v3. I have some workarounds above for configuring it manually on a WSS v3 but I don't have any workarounds for Setup. You could try to install it on a machine with WSS v2 and then copy the web service files manually and configure manually as described above. You can use reflector http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ to see what other files you need to copy. I never tried this but it might work.

Remember, this is not supported by Microsoft!!!

These are some of the hacks I tried in order to see how it works with WSS v3.

Travis Pryor — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 20:08:59 GMT

Much like an earlier poster, I am also attempting to use the native 2006 WSS adapter in conjuction with WSS 3.0 Beta 2 and am receiving the following error:
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="http://vm-sp2007-dev/_layouts/error.aspx?ErrorText=The%%20file%%20you%%20are%%20attempting%%20to%%20save%%20or%%20retrieve%%20has%%20been%%20blocked%%20from%%20this%%20Web%%20site%%20by%%20the%%20server%%20administrators%%2E">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>

I've tried the work-arounds mentioned here, inserting <runtime>...</runtime> elements into the web.config file, commenting out the <protocols>...</protocols> elements, iisreset, etc, but the error persists when I create a file in a doc lib being observed by a receive location.

Could we get some more specific instructions on the configuration steps taken in order to get the adpater to work with WSS 3.0 Beta 2?

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Adrian Hamza — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 21:09:22 GMT

Can you update the BTSharePointAdapterWS web.config to comment out the

section, run IISRESET and then browse to the web service asmx page? What's the error message you get when you do this?

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Travis Pryor — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 23:27:36 GMT

browsing to localost\BTSharePointAdapterWS.asmx displays a sharepoint page that states "The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by the server administrators." Owners & members have full control of the document library.

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Adrian Hamza — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 23:50:52 GMT

I'm just guessing right now as I don't know why you get this error message.

Did you configure the web service manually? Is the BTSharePointAdapterWS an IIS application or is it just a virtual folder? You might have to push on the Create button and select an app pool in order allow execution of the asmx pages.

Is SharePoint Adapter enabled for SSL?

I have WSS 3.0 site with SSL enabled (port 34103). When I specify in receive location Adapter Web Service Port: 34103, and SharePoint Site URL: https://localhost - there are error messages in the EventLog:

The adapter "Windows SharePoint Services" raised an error message. Details "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.".

re: Is SharePoint Adapter enabled for SSL?

Adrian Hamza — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 22:54:54 GMT

Yes, SharePoint adapter is enabled for SSL. The error you get is probably normal because you used the "localhost" machine name. The SSL certificate of the server is used for 2 things:
- to encrypt a symetrical key that's passed to the client for encrypting the HTTP requests/responses
- to authentificate the identity of the server. This is what fails in your case.

Your SSL certificate is issued for a particular machine name (usually something like www.microsoft.com). You MUST use that exact machine name in the URL (and not localhost or the NetBIOS name) otherwise the authentication of the server will fail with the error you just saw. You need to update the URL to include the correct name of the machine in order to fix this.

If this problem is not fixed after you update the URL, then most likely that the authority that issued the certificate is not added to the 'trusted authorities' list on your machine. Most likely, you are using a certicate that you issued yourself. You will need to add that issueing authority as a trusted authority on the BizTalk Runtime machine in order to fix that (if you run into this problem). I believe you do that from MMC (run MMC, File ->Add/Remove Snapin, Add, select 'Certificates', Computer Account and then navigate to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities. I haven't tested this but I believe it's correct).

Maurice — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 17:31:54 GMT

I tried to follow your suggestions with using the final version of WSS 3.0. Unfortunately I do not get it up and running. The error message is A message sent to adapter "Windows SharePoint Services" on send port "Archive CMDB Import Files" with URI "wss://10.90.51.85:47111/sp/OrderDesk" is suspended.

Error details: The Windows SharePoint Services site was not found. The URL "http://10.90.51.85:47111/sp/" points to a SharePoint object for which there is no Windows SharePoint Services site.

Have you got any suggestions?

re: Windows SharePoint Services site was not found

Adrian Hamza — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 03:10:33 GMT

Can you copy/paste the URL http://10.90.51.85:47111/sp/ in your browser and see if there is a SharePoint site at that URL? Do you get any error and if you do what's the exact error?

Thanks Andrian, it worked!! I followed your alternative way. -> An alternative is to configure the adapter web service manually.

Matthias Unruhe — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 10:57:54 GMT

Hi Adrian,

I ran into a problem with WSS adapter when configuring the BizTalk Server 2006 at a customer.

Configuration is cancelled, because it wants to delete the web.config but isn't allowed to set the according file attributes.

I'm sorry that I can't give you the exact error message because it's a german BizTalk Server and I don't have a clou how to translate the message exactly. Must be something like "Error on setting file permissions on a temporary ASP.NET-directory or web service directory"

My question now is: do you think that the manual workaround you discribed in your initial article will solve this problem.

Oh ... by the way: I need to get WSS adapter running for WSS v2.

Greetings

Matthias

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Adrian Hamza — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 12:04:14 GMT

Hi Matthias,

The best way to troubleshoot this is:

1) look in the configuration log file for more details on the failure

2) run FileMon http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Filemon.mspx and set a filter that includes the events generated by configuration.exe process. Then run configuration. This way you will see exactly the file causing the problem.

Your translation of the error message makes me believe that the failure is not related to the web.config file. I think the configuration process fails to set some permissions on one of the ASP.NET temporary files folder, possibly

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files

C:\WINDOWS\Temp

The configuration log fragment with the error would help me provide you with more information on this problem.

Strangely I already had successfully configured SharePoint Adapter but now my client wanted to move BizTalk databases from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. As this concerns the productive machine which isn't used at the moment I thought this wouldn't be a problem. Just run the configuration again and point to SQL Server 2005 where configuration is to create new BizTalk databases. But now i don't get it managed to configure SharePoint Adapter again. I always run into the error mentioned above.

Cheers

Hi Adrian,

I am having BizTalk 2006 on 1 machine and Sharepoint 2007 on the othr machine. When I try to install the Sharepoint Adapter Webservice on Sharepoint machine the checkbox is disabled. Do i have to download the wss 3.0 v2 and try with that.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

re: checkbox is disabled

Adrian Hamza — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 22:33:55 GMT

No, you don't. Actually, unless you use BizTalk 2006 R2 Beta 2 you won't be able to make it work with WSS v3.

What you probably need is the WSS language pack. The SharePoint language and the BizTalk language must match. If that's not the case for you then you have to install a WSS language pack for that checkbox to become enabled.

I don't know if the steps above work with RTM version of WSS v3.0. These steps are hacks that I provided at the time. The steps are no longer needed because BizTalk 2006 R2 Beta 2 and BizTalk 2006 RTM support WSS v3.0 out of the box so you don't need to do any of the steps above.

Adrian,

I've read all the posts and the last one dated Aug. 31 2007 gave me hope, but my setup still won't work. I have BT 2006 Standard Edition (not R2), and MOSS 2007 RTM running on a virtual PC running Windows Server 2003. When I go to Add/Remove Programs to install BizTalk's WSS Adapter under Additional Software, the option is grayed out, I can't check the box. The messas is that I'm missing a prerequisite. Would you know why I can't insall the adapter this way?

Thanks for any help,

Kevin

re: WSS v3 Beta 2 is out - try it with WSS adapter

Adrian Hamza — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:03:28 GMT

BizTalk 2006 was released in 2006 (go figure :-) ...) and it doesn't support MOSS which was released in 2007. You need BizTalk 2006 R2 (released in September 2007) if you want to use it with MOSS. You can download an evaluation copy of BizTalk 2006 R2 here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bb738059.aspx

It will work for 120 days.
