Use the adapter for Reckon with a solicit-response send port to execute updategrams and data manipulation SQL in BizTalk.
This section provides step-by-step instructions for creating, configuring, and testing a static solicit-response send port using the CData BizTalk Adapter for Reckon. You can use a static solicit-response send port to execute commands and access the results in BizTalk. You can use send ports to execute updategram commands, SQL commands, and stored procedure operations.
Create and Configure the Send Port
Create a static solicit-response send port and configure it to use the adapter as its transport type.
- If you have not already done so, open your BizTalk application in the BizTalk Administration Console.
- In the node for your BizTalk application, right-click Send Ports and select New -> Static Solicit-Response Send Port. The Send Port Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the Send Port properties, enter a name for the receive port.
- In the Transport Type menu, select CData.Reckon;.
- In the Send pipeline menu, select the default option, PassThruTransmit.
- In the Receive pipeline menu, select the default option, PassThruReceive.
Configure the Adapter
Define the command the adapter will execute in the Transport Properties dialog.
- In the send port properties, click the Configure button. The Adapter Transport Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the CommandType property, select the command type you want.
- If you want to execute an SQL command, enter the command in the SQL Command box.
Configure the Connection to Reckon
Configure credentials and other properties required to connect to Reckon in the Connection String Options dialog.
- In the send port properties, click Configure. The adapter properties dialog is displayed.
- Click the button in the Connection String property. The Connection String Options dialog is displayed.
- Enter the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string:
User=RCUser;Password=RCUserPassword;URL=http://remotehost:8166;
When you are connecting to a local Reckon instance, you do not need to set any connection properties.
Requests to Reckon are made through the Remote Connector. The Remote Connector runs on the same machine as Reckon and accepts connections through a lightweight, embedded Web server. The server supports SSL/TLS, enabling users to connect securely from remote machines.
The first time you connect to your company file, you will need to authorize the Remote Connector with Reckon. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide.
- Click Test Connection to verify the values and test connectivity.
