Hotfix to add the "ReceivedIdocRelease" binding property for the WCF-SAP adapter to BizTalk Adapter Pack 2.0 and Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010

This article applies to the following product:

• BizTalk Adapter Pack 2.0
• BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010

This article describes a hotfix for Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2.0 and Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010. This hotfix adds the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property to the Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)-based SAP adapter. This property is used to resolve the following issue.

Symptom

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a computer that is running Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2, Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 or Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010.
• You use the WCF-based SAP adapter that is from Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2.0 or from Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010 to connect to SAP.
• You create a BizTalk application that uses the SAP adapter to receive intermediate documents (IDOCs) from SAP. Some schemas are generated when the application connects to SAP. The BizTalk application receives the IDOCs by using these schemas.
• You upgrade SAP.

In this scenario, the IDOCs are not received after you upgrade SAP. Additionally, you receive the following error message:If you configure SAP to send an earlier version of the IDOCs, the IDOCs are suspended. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

Cause

This issue occurs because the WCF-based SAP adapter incorrectly uses the DOCREL property of the IDOCs to determine the release number of the IDOCs that are sent.

SAP populates the DOCREL property with the current value of SYSEREL. When SAP is upgraded, the WCF-based SAP adapter uses this new value of DOCREL to determine the IDOC release number. However, the release number from this new value is the previous release number. Therefore, the release number from this new value is incorrect for the IDOCs that are sent.

NoteDOCREL is an SAP release number for IDOC.

To resolve this issue after you apply the following hotfix, edit the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property. For more information about how to edit the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property, see the "More Information" section.

How to edit the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property

To edit the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property, use the appropriate value that meets one of the following conditions:

• If the value of the DOCREL property is the actual release number for the IDOCs, do not set any value for the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property.
• If the release number of all received IDOCs is lower than the value of the DOCREL property, set the actual release number in the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property.
  
  For example, assume that the release number is 640 and that this number is lower than the value of the DOCREL property. In this scenario, set the value of the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property to 640.
• If some types of the received IDOCs have a lower release number, and if the other IDOCs have a release number that is equal to SYSREL, each type must be set. To do this, use the following syntax to specify the value of the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property:
  
  

  DOCTYPE1=DOCREL1;DOCTYPE2=DOCREL2

  For example, assume that the release number of MATMAS05 is 620, that the release number of DEBMAS05 is 640, and that the release number of other types of IDOCs is 710. For this example, SYSREL is 710. In this scenario, set the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property to the following value:

  MATMAS05=620;DEBMAS05=640

• If the release numbers for the different types of IDOCs are not the same and are lower than SYSREL, each type must be set. To do this, use the following syntax to specify the value of the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property:
  
  

  DefaultRelease;DOCTYPE1=DOCREL1;DOCTYPE2=DOCREL2

  For example, assume that the release number of MATMAS05 is 620, that the release number of DEBMAS05 is 640, and that the release number of other types of IDOCs is 700. For this example, SYSREL is 710. In this scenario, set the ReceivedIdocRelease binding property to the following value:

  700;MATMAS05=620;DEBMAS05=640

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
