Symptoms
When you use BizTalk WCF-OracleDB adapters to work with Oracle Server 11.2.0.4, you receive the following error message:
"The Messaging Engine failed to add a receive location "XXX" with URL "XXX" to the adapter "WCF-OracleDB." Reason: "System.NotSupportedException: Specified method is not supported."
Cause
This problem occurs because Oracle made a change between database versions 11.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.4 in the DATA_TYPE value for the XMLType data type in the metadata table. This change causes the BizTalk adapter to fail when it maps from Oracle types to .NET types.
Resolution
Cumulative update information
The fix that resolves this issue is included in Cumulative update package 2 for BizTalk Adapter Pack 2013.
Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
