How to Add a BizTalk Adapter
After you have installed the BizTalk adapters for Commerce Server Core Systems on the computer running BizTalk Server, you can create new adapters of the four types provided with Commerce Server Core Systems. This topic describes the steps required to add Commerce Server Core Systems adapters to your BizTalk Server configuration after you have installed the adapters on the BizTalk Server computer.
To add a Commerce Server Core Systems adapter to BizTalk Server
In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, expand BizTalk Server 2006 Administration, expand the appropriate BizTalk Group, and then expand Platform Settings.
Note
You may also perform these steps in Visual Studio 2008.
Note
You may optionally expand Adapters at this point. If one or more of the Commerce Server Core Systems adapters have already been added to BizTalk Server, you will see them as child nodes of the Adapters node.
Right-click Adapters, click New, and then click Adapter.
The Adapter Properties dialog box opens.
In the right pane of the Adapter Properties dialog box, in the Name box, type a descriptive name for this adapter.
In the Adapter box, select one of the following Commerce Server Core Systems adapters from the drop-down list based on the type of adapter you want to add:
Catalog
Inventory
Orders
Profiles
In the Description box, type a description for the adapter.
Click OK to complete the process of adding a particular Commerce Server Core Systems adapter.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 as required to add other Commerce Server Core Systems adapters.
Note
You only need to create new adapters within the BizTalk Server Administration Console for the Commerce Server Core Systems adapters that you intend to use.
