Using NSoftware sftp adapter with Biztalk

1
votes

I've downlaoded the nsoftware sftp adapter for Biztalk. I created a few send & receive ports within Biztalk admin just to see if it works, and it does.

I now need to build an orchestration with an sftp send port and sftp receive port. I've added a reference to the adapter dll and included it in the project, but I'm not sure how to wire it up to my 2 ports in the .odx file.

Can anyone shove me in the right direction?

The only reason you'd have a project-level reference to the adapter DLL is if you need to use the property schemas for the nsoftware adapter; otherwise, the way you'd use it is the same way you'd use any other BizTalk adapter:

  • Declare your logical ports in your orchestration. Make sure you mark them as "Specify Later" (or direct/dynamic, if you're doing more advanced scenarios).
  • Build your orchestration as usual
  • Deploy
  • Go to the BizTalk administration console and create receive locations/send ports as necessary specifying the nsoftware SFTP adapter. You'll be able to enter all the adapter configuration settings there.

If you could share any more details about what you're trying to do, maybe I could offer more specific advice.
