A REAL-TIME mode listener receive location shuts down reporting: “An operation error occurred.”

This error is often due to security permissions problems. Check if the receive location works fine when pointing to a different container (e.g. the Users container LDAP://CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com). If so:

  • Compare the security permissions on objects created in the working and non-working container
  • Try different accounts in the Authentication tab of the receive location configuration/add the current account to the domain or enterprise admin groups
FAQs
Will the ActiveADAPTER Send Adapter return error information back to my orchestration?

Yes. The adapter will return any exceptions back to your application AFTER any retries you have configured have been done.

Within your orchestration you can use Scope shapes to catch exceptions. In your exception handlers you can retrieve the error description to determine which way to branch.

Sample orchestrations that illustrate exception handing are included in the ActiveADAPTER Samples folder.

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.
