Webservices - Communicate with a BizTalk Server

Joe13

Has anyone ever implemented communications within Navision to a BizTalk Server utilizing Web Services?

If so what does this entail?
1. SQL Server?
2. Time to implement?
3. Type of Communication - XML Ports?

Any input to this matter would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you

Not using web services, but I've written a communication component that receives XML messages from Biztalk. It runs as a NAS instance on MSMQ (without the bus adapter). It should work with both the native and the SQL Server option. You'll need SQL Server for your Biztalk installation anyway.

Hi,

we did something similar (connection BizTalk to use our web service which is connected over MSMQ to a NAS).

Time to implement: about 2 days
Because of using the NAS independent from the NAV database type.
SQL Server will work on NAV, but you have to use it for BizTalk.

Hi Rainers,

What is your hardware spec for your web service kind of?
Are your clustering them and sit together with Biztalk?

Any good reason behind, why you decide to not using CGRS as communication link NAV-Biztalk? would you not concern loosing down some CGRS features at Nav side?

How would you verify the message is not lost/received by Biztalk and also duplication handling.

Thanks!
