Hi,
We`ve installed the CU1 for BTS2020, after that during uploading Oracle procedure output strong typed cursor as a schema in VS2019 Generated items we received error
An error has occurred while retrieving the properties for the selected operation. Retrieval of Operation Metadata has failed while building WSDL at 'http://Microsoft.LobServices.OracleDB/2007/03/......
Do you know what did go wrong?
We use Oracle Client 18.3, BizTalk 2020 CU1, VS2019 extensions 3.13.2.0
SanjivGuptaThank you all for a great response here.
As you all know, the CU releases are specifically bug fixes that our customers uncover while working with the product. In that light, many of the long pending wish lists and improvements did not meet the bar for a CU. However, we are very happy to note the community interest in those capabilities still.
We have closed the content for CU1 of BizTalk 2020 release and are going through the engineering rigor necessary for the release.
Several items reported here made to CU1 and some are under work for CU2. I will soon publish a list of fixes and improvements that made to CU1. From now onward, we are not taking any more inputs for CU1.
I will open another discussion for CU2 when we are ready. Please keep in mind the bar for something to be addressed in CUs when responding.
Once again, BizTalk Server PG team thank you all for great participation.
Support for async Task helper methods. More and more libraries are Async to the bottom, so a supported entry point to these methods would be a help. Could this also provide a throughput advantage?
SanjivGupta How about a bug that has been around since BizTalk 2006? If you change the TargetCharset value in a Flat File Assembler pipeline via the BizTalk Administration console it does not change the outgoing payload to that encoding. You have to change it in Visual Studio, compile and re-deploy.
I've listed that an various other bugs on my blog https://cdijkgraaf.wordpress.com/2016/08/12/biztalk-2013-r2-known-bugs-issues-quirks/ I've noted where these are fixed in 2020 in the blog.
SanjivGupta There looks to be a bit of a bug highlighted in this thread https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1dbddf9e-2338-49c8-8be7-2c3e3ed94f2e/sap-biztalk-2020-issue?forum=biztalkgeneral

Yes, we have identified a few miss in SAP adapter in 2020 RTM release. They are on track to make it in soon to be released CU1.
SanjivGupta Apparently it was not a BizTalk SAP bug as such but an issue with CU4 for SQL 2019, which is fixed in CU5
Hi SanjivGupta ,
it will helpfull to add a design time property on shapes to enable start/end tracking. Now we can only enable this tracking on orchestration level, so for all the shapes. I was facing a use case with one of my clients to track some services response time (so only the related send/response shapes) from Biztalk Tracking.
many thanks,

SanjivGupta 'Deploy BizTalk Application' task in Azure DevOps is not flexible. It is using variables that need to be in Azure DevOps (in pipeline or remote git repository).
I would like to edit variables as .yml (multiple), build solution, publish .zip + .yml with variables as artifacts to some location and us it later in deploy task.
Please provide field with path to local .yml file with variables.
Michał Aniśko I agree, the usage of Variable Groups is cumbersome because the editing experience is awful. They do not even offer and export/import capability.
SanjivGupta Along these lines, if Azure DevOps offered a convenient easy editing experience with search and replace, I would find that workable. In our current project we will end up with 600 Variable Groups with 15 to 40 variables in each group. We have a Variable Group for each target application and each of 4 environments.
SanjivGupta When you configure BizTalk Server 2020 with a gMSA for Isolated Host Instance, you cannot use that account when configuring the ESB Toolkit. This seems to be both undocumented and unsupported.
SanjivGupta When configuring BizTalk Server 2020 on a named instance with EDI support, the receive locations are not correctly configured on the EDI Application:
This should be mssql://server/instance/biztalkmgmtdb?
A bugfix for the mapper: when mapper extensions (aka functoids) got loaded, the mapper inspects the assemblies present in the Mapper Extensions directory. Upon loading an assembly, it tries to instantiate all classes which are derived from BaseFunctoid.
If there are intermediate classes which are not to be loaded as functoids an do not register themselves correctly, the mapper seizes to load any other class after that without showing any error message. This is an error situation difficult to analyze and solve. It would be advisable to have a proper error message here.
Thanks, regards
Jörg Fischer
