I am new to BizTalk Server. I need to invoke business functions from
applications that provide COM API. Do I need a COM Adapter for BizTalk Serve
r
for this? Or is it already available as part of the Microsoft's solution for
BizTalk Server 2004.

If COM Adapter is required, can someone tell me the availability of any free
COM adapter that is available for download.

Thanks,
Jason

You probably want to invoke COM APIs from an orchestration. In this case
you would go through .NET/COM interop: expose your COM library to the
managed code via tlbimp, link the assembly to the orchestration's assembly,
then add calls to your managed object from an expression shape in the
orchestration.

Does this help?
