Use the adapter for HCL Domino with a solicit-response send port to execute updategrams and data manipulation SQL in BizTalk.
This section provides step-by-step instructions for creating, configuring, and testing a static solicit-response send port using the CData BizTalk Adapter for HCL Domino. You can use a static solicit-response send port to execute commands and access the results in BizTalk. You can use send ports to execute updategram commands, SQL commands, and stored procedure operations.
Create and Configure the Send Port
Create a static solicit-response send port and configure it to use the adapter as its transport type.
- If you have not already done so, open your BizTalk application in the BizTalk Administration Console.
- In the node for your BizTalk application, right-click Send Ports and select New -> Static Solicit-Response Send Port. The Send Port Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the Send Port properties, enter a name for the receive port.
- In the Transport Type menu, select CData.Domino;.
- In the Send pipeline menu, select the default option, PassThruTransmit.
- In the Receive pipeline menu, select the default option, PassThruReceive.
Configure the Adapter
Define the command the adapter will execute in the Transport Properties dialog.
- In the send port properties, click the Configure button. The Adapter Transport Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the CommandType property, select the command type you want.
- If you want to execute an SQL command, enter the command in the SQL Command box.
Configure the Connection to HCL Domino
Configure credentials and other properties required to connect to HCL Domino in the Connection String Options dialog.
- In the send port properties, click Configure. The adapter properties dialog is displayed.
- Click the button in the Connection String property. The Connection String Options dialog is displayed.
- Enter the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string:
Server=https://domino.corp.com;Database=names.nsf;Port=3002;SSLClientCertType=PEMKEY_FILE;SSLClientCert=full_path_of_certificate.pem;SSLServerCert=*
Prerequisites
The connector requires the Proton component to be installed. Normally, Proton is distributed as part of the AppDev pack. See the HCL documentation for instructions on acquiring and installing Proton or the AppDev pack.
Once the Proton service is installed and running, you will also need to create a user account and download its Internet certificate. This certificate can be used to set the connector certificate connection properties.
Authenticating to Domino
- Server: The name or IP address of the server running Domino with the Proton service.
- Port: The port number that the Proton service is listening on.
- Database: The name of the database file, including the .nsf extension.
- SSLClientCertType: This must match the format of the certificate file. Typically this will be either PEMKEY_FILE for .pem certificates or PFXFILE for .pfx certificates.
- SSLClientCert: The path to the certificate file.
- SSLServerCert: This can be set to (*) if you trust the server. This is usually the case, but if you want to perform SSL validation, you may provide a certificate or thumbprint instead. See the documentation for SSLServerCert for details.
Additional Server Configuration
The connector supports querying Domino views if any are defined. Before views can be queried by the connector they must be registered with the design catalog.
Please refer to the Catalog Administration section of the AppDev pack documentation for details on how to do this.
- Click Test Connection to verify the values and test connectivity.
