Upgrade Notes

This release includes major upgrades and enhancements to the entire suite of /n software BizTalk Adapters. All of the BizTalk Adapters now support both static and dynamic modes of operation. In addition, all of the Adapters have improved integration with BizTalk Server offering enhanced error handling, integrated messaging, and advanced testing facilities. Pipeline Components have been added to the suite of BizTalk Adapters as well.

Version 4.0 adapters will run side-by-side with currently deployed /n software version 3.x adapters. The setup will automatically add the new adapters to the BizTalk Server Admin Console and deploy the new Adapters to the BizTalk and global assembly caches.

Upgrading Orchestrations

If you wish to upgrade an existing orchestration to use the latest version of the adapter, you will need to rebind the orchestration's ports. To do this, first follow the steps to configure either a new send port or a new receive location.

Once the new port has been configured, you can use the following steps to rebind the orchestration:

1. Open an instance of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
2. Open the BizTalk Explorer (this can be done by pressing ctrl-alt-z).
3. Expand the BizTalk Configuration Databases node and navigate to the <server>.BizTalkMgmtDb.dbo node.
4. Expand the Orchestrations node.
5. Right-click the orchestration you wish to rebind and select Unenlist (note: the orchestrations cannot be changed if it is still in the enlisted state).
6. Right-click the orchestration again and select Bind.
7. Select the orchestration port you wish to rebind and click the down-arrow to drop down a list of available BizTalk adapter ports.
8. Select your new port, and click "OK" to close the binding window.
9. Right-click the orchestration again and select Start.
10. When prompted, make sure to start all of the necessary services.
