This part will focus on installing and configuring Microsoft BizTalk 2013 R2 Accelerator for RosettaNet.

Make sure that you have installed all the prerequisites and prepared your environment for the RosettaNet accelerator.

📝 One-Minute Brief

This third part of the guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for the actual installation and configuration of the BizTalk 2013 R2 Accelerator for RosettaNet (BTARN). It covers running the setup from the BizTalk ISO, selecting installation options, and navigating the Configuration Wizard. Crucially, it highlights critical fixes for the “WebApp” object failure and common configuration pitfalls related to IIS and database naming.

Install Microsoft BizTalk 2013 R2 Accelerator for RosettaNet

BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet is available in the BizTalk Server installation disk (ISO) under the BizTalk Accelerators folder.

  • Access to the BizTalk Accelerators folder in the BizTalk Server ISO, and then run the Setup.exe file.

BTARN Installation Wizard
  • On the Installation Wizard screen for Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet, click Install.

Note: If you do not accept the license agreement, you cannot continue with the installation.

  • On the Installation Options page, select Complete for a full installation and ensure the installation path is correct, and then click Next.
    • Or, if you wish, you can also customize the features that you want to install or perform a partial installation by selecting the Custom option.
      • Note: If you select Custom, select the components to install from the Custom Installation page. If you select to install SDK or Documentation components only, you must have .NET Framework 4.5 installed before running the setup program.

  • On the Summary page, review the components you are installing, and then click Install.
    • The Installation Progress screen displays the progress of the installation procedure.

  • On the Installation Completed page, ensure the Run Configuration Wizard box is selected, and then click Finish.

  • The BTARN Configuration Wizard opens. Next, you configure BTARN.

Important:

  • If you perform a custom installation to install only the BTARN HTTP Front End feature, BTARN configuration may fail after setup is complete, displaying the error message “Failed to create object for feature: WebApp”. If this occurs, you need to copy two files (Microsoft.VC80.ATL.manifest and atl80.dll) from a computer with BizTalk Server 2013 R2 installed on it to the computer where you installed the BTARN HTTP Front End feature.
  • If Visual Studio 2012 is installed on the same computer as BizTalk Server, the source folder for the two files is <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC100.ATL. If Visual Studio 2012 is not installed on the BizTalk server, the source folder for the two files on the BizTalk server is a folder under <drive>:\WINDOWS\WinSxS. The version of the files should be 8.0.50727.42. The destination folder on the computer where you have installed the HTTP Front End feature is the BTARN installation directory (by default, <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk 2013 R2 Accelerator for RosettaNet).
  • After you have copied these files to the computer with the HTTP Front End feature installed, rerun Configuration.exe.

Configure Microsoft BizTalk 2013 R2 Accelerator for RosettaNet

Note: Before configuring BTARN, make sure that you have installed all the prerequisites and prepared your environment for the RosettaNet accelerator. In particular:

  • Make sure you map .NET Framework 4.0 under Handler Mappings in IIS.
  • Also, when configuring BTARN on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2, you must create the IIS_WPG group manually.

To configure BTARN using Basic Configuration:

  • On the “Microsoft BizTalk 2013 R2 Accelerator for RosettaNet” Wizard page:
    • Select the Basic configuration option to configure the server with default settings.
      • Or the Custom configuration option to configure the server using advanced configuration settings.
    • In the Database server name text box under Database properties, verify that the server name displayed is correct.
    • In the Service credential properties, type the User name and Password for the account that the configured BTARN will run under.
