Features for Oracle Database adapter clients

In addition to the features discussed throughout the topics of Overview of BizTalk Adapter for Oracle Database, the Oracle Database adapter also provides the following features that are useful for adapter clients:

  • Support for configuring adapters using binding properties. Adapter clients can configure the Oracle Database adapter by specifying certain binding properties. For example, clients can configure the adapter to use the ODP.NET connection pool by setting the UseOracleConnectionPool binding property. For more information, see Configure the binding properties for Oracle Database.

  • Support for null values for operation parameters. Adapter clients can provide null values for operation parameters using the “nil” attribute in the input XML.

  • Support for dynamic ports in BizTalk. Through the BizTalk WCF-Custom adapter, the Oracle Database adapter supports a dynamic port that enables dynamic routing of messages from BizTalk Server based on the message context properties. For more information, see Configure dynamic ports.

  • Support for performance counters. The Oracle Database adapter supports WCF-based performance counters for use by adapter clients. For more information about performance counters, see Performance Counters.
