Manually configure a physical port binding to the SAP adapter
Configure the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for mySAP Business Suite as a WCF custom binding by using the BizTalk Server Administration console.
Port overview
After deploying the adapter, you will be able to send and receive messages from the SAP system by using the BizTalk Server Administration console. The steps for deploying the adapter vary depending on:
The direction of communication between BizTalk Server and SAP adapter. You may choose to configure a Send, Receive, Send-Receive, or a Receive-Send port. Your choices are summarized in the following table:
Port direction Communication pattern Direction of communication to choose from Send One-way I will always be sending messages on this port. Receive One-way I will always be receiving messages on this port. Send-Receive Request-response I will be sending a request and receiving a response. Receive-Send Solicit-response I will be receiving a request and sending a response. For more information, see Create a Send Port, or Create a Receive Port.
Whether the adapter sends messages to the SAP system or receives messages from the SAP system. Depending on whether you want to send or receive messages, you will create a send or receive port.
Note
You can also configure the send or receive ports by importing a binding configuration file that is created by the Consume Adapter Service Add-in as part of metadata generation. For instructions on configuring ports using this binding file, see Configure a physical port binding using a port binding file to SAP.
