How do I update object properties that don’t take strings?

Use the optional DataType property in your update message with the hex setting to specify your data as hexadecimal. For example:

ChangeToValue="F0-F1-F2-F3" DataType="hex"

Your hex data can contain no spaces (“F0F1F2F3“), or be separated with spaces or hyphens (“F0 F1 F2 F3” or “F0-F1-F2-F3“).

If you have a lot of data to upload – such as a .jpg photo – you can load it from a file using DataType="filename" with the path to the file in the ChangeToValue. Refer to the ActiveADAPTER Send Adapter User Guide for more information.

And don’t forget that the ActiveADAPTER evaluation installation package includes sample messages that show you how to set logon hours and add photos for user objects using hex data.

FAQs
What transactional strategy does the ActiveADAPTER Send Adapter use?

The Send Adapter commits changes per message and per object. This means commits cannot span messages. Within a message, changes to an object are all committed together. To ensure changes are all or nothing, therefore, the strategy you need to use is one message per object.

Can the Active Directory Receive Adapter help me build an orchestration that listens for changes to Active Directory?

Yes. The ON CHANGE ONLY option on the Active Directory Receive Adapter provides this feature. A message is submitted to your BizTalk application only when the results of the query you have specified change. This feature provides a great way to trigger orchestrations and keep information in your Enterprise Applications synchronized.

There is also a REAL-TIME mode that gets events from Active Directory asynchronously and submits them to BizTalk  as they happen.

I have purchased an ActiveADAPTER license. How do I swap out the evaluation version for the licensed version?

To uninstall your evaluation version and replace it with your licensed version follow this procedure:

1. Stop any BizTalk applications and host instances that use ActiveADAPTER

2. Close any instances of the BizTalk Admin Console

3. Uninstall ActiveADAPTER through Control Panel

4. Check that the %ProgramFiles%\ActiveADAPTER folder has been  completely removed

5. Install your licensed software

In most cases this shouldn't affect any receive location or send port settings you have created, but check your BizTalk applications after restarting them.
