Good to know: Biztalk Adapter Pack versus LOB Adapters
Something to be careful about distinguishing correctly when you talk to customers is the difference between “BizTalk Server 2009 LOB Adapters” and “BizTalk Adapter Pack version 2.0”. The “BizTalk Server 2009 LOB Adapters” contains adapters for TIBCO, JDE, PeopleSoft as well as versions of Oracle adapter and Siebel adapter. These adapters are all pre-WCF and based on old adapter framework. By contrast the “BizTalk Adapter Pack version 2.0” contains new WCF adapters including SQL and Oracle e-business suite but also again for Oracle database and Siebel.
