The [!INCLUDEadaptersap] is a [!INCLUDEfirstref_btsWinCommFoundation] custom binding. As such, it enables communication to an SAP system through a WCF endpoint address. In WCF the endpoint address identifies the network location of a service and is typically expressed as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The [!INCLUDEadaptersap_short] expresses this location as a connection URI, which contains properties that the [!INCLUDEadaptersap_short] uses to establish a connection to the SAP system. You must specify a connection URI when you:
-
When you create a channel factory or a channel listener using the [!INCLUDEnextref_btsWinCommFoundation] channel model or when you create a WCF client or service host using the [!INCLUDEnextref_btsWinCommFoundation] service model.
-
Create a physical port binding in a [!INCLUDEbtsBizTalkServerNoVersion] solution.
-
Use the [!INCLUDEaddadapterservreflong] to generate a WCF client class or WCF service interface for a [!INCLUDEnextref_btsWinCommFoundation] service model solution.
-
Use the [!INCLUDEconsumeadapterservlong] to retrieve message schemas from the [!INCLUDEadaptersap_short] for a [!INCLUDEbtsBizTalkServerNoVersion] solution.
-
Use the ServiceModel Metadata Utility tool (svcutil.exe) to generate a WCF client class or WCF service interface for a WCF service model solution.
The topics in this section describe how to establish a connection between the [!INCLUDEadaptersap] and the SAP system by providing you with:
