Tried to install BTS2006 SAP Adapter? Get it here :-)
Tried to install and use the SAP adapter with the BizTalk 2006 Beta 2?
Lets take a look…..
- To install our BizTalk 2006 Beta2 Enterprise SAP adapter, you need as a prerequisite the Microsoft .NET Connector for SAP (down-loadable from SAP’s marketplace). So, you try and install the connector v1.2.3.0 and that doesn’t work for you because you need to use VS2005 and it does not support VS2005. Therefore you download and install the connector v 2.0 and once again this does not work. Refuses to install without the trusty VS2003.
So how do we actually do it? It’s quite simple actually….
- You need to only install the .NET connector “runtime”. Today we used v 1.0.3, then installed the old BTS 2004 SAP Adapter and then installed the CTP update from Microsoft Betaplace and bingo – bring on the SAP integration. Works a treat.
Effectively the old BTS2004 adapter actually works as long as you apply the CTP update :-)
