Microsoft BizTalk Server and Microsoft Dynamics AX Integration - Part 3 - Receive Data from Dynamics AX in BizTalk

  • Article

Microsoft Dynamics AX adapter pulls the data available in the Dynamics AX Queue and publishes it into the Message Box. In one BizTalk Group there can be only one Receive Location that points to a combination of AOS Server Name and AOS Port Number. This is valid for the Receive Locations across BizTalk Applications.

The following configuration needs to be performed in BizTalk Receive Port / Receive Location which would receive the data from Microsoft Dynamics AX using the Application Integration Framework (AIF) and publish the same into BizTalk Message Box:

1. A Static One Way port needs to be created under Receive Port in BizTalk Application
