Limitations of BizTalk Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite

General Limitations

The following are known limitations for Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite:

  • The Oracle E-Business adapter does not support XML Gateway, Advanced Queuing, and Business Events.

    However, you can get around the Business Events limitation in the following way:

    1. In Oracle Business Events System, create a subscription to invoke a custom PL/SQL procedure when a business event occurs.

    2. Write a custom PL/SQL procedure that receives the business event.

    3. Use the custom PL/SQL procedure to store the resultant data (event and event payload) in a table.

    4. Use the Oracle E-Business adapter to poll or receive notifications from the table.

  • The Oracle E-Business adapter does not support XML Types.

  • The Oracle E-Business adapter does not enable clients to set the value of the first element in a VARRAY to NULL.

  • The Oracle E-Business adapter does not support records that contain fields of type PL/SQL tables of RECORD type.

  • The Oracle E-Business adapter does not support User-Defined Types (UDTs) that have circular references.

  • The Oracle E-Business adapter does not support the BFILE data type inside complex types (such as RECORD type, TABLE type, UDT, and VARRAY).

  • The Oracle E-Business adapter supports UDT nesting only up to two levels.

  • Except for PL/SQL tables, the Oracle E-Business adapter does not support UDTs that are defined inside a package.

  • When using the adapters with BizTalk Server, if the credentials on the WCF-custom send port are incorrect, the request messages are not processed. After you specify the correct credentials, the message is sent to Oracle E-Business Suite and a response is received. However, the response message is not available to the out port. In such scenarios, you may need to restart the host instance.
