I am getting an error “The Server not operational”

This error most commonly occurs when the server used in direct server binding cannot be contacted. It can be caused by:

  • An incorrect server name in WhereToBind (e.g LDAP://incorrect-server-name.test.com/OU=Test,DC=test,DC=com)
  • Insufficient permissions to connect to the server (try using different credentials for the host instance that handles ActiveADAPTER)

Can I use ActiveADAPTER components in multiple BizTalk applications?

Yes. Once installed, ActiveADAPTER Active Directory Send and Receive Adapters will be an available option for all Send Ports and Receive Locations.

My Solicit-Response Send Port Query Is Only Returning 1000 Results

Try adding the setting PageSize="1000" to your query parameters. For example:

<ActiveDirectoryQuery><Directives WhereToBind="LDAP://CN=Users, DC=test, DC=com" Filter="(objectCategory=user)" SearchScope="onelevel" PropertiesToReturn="cn" PageSize="1000"/></ActiveDirectoryQuery>

By default Active Directory only allows for a single page of 1000 results. By explicitly setting this value multiple pages (and hence all results) are returned.

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.
