Usage of Biztalk SAP Adapter without Biztalk Server to connect .NET and SAP

Question

Is it possible to use the Biztalk adapter pack whithout a Biztalk installation (Biztalk license is available)? I want to use the Biztalk Adapter for SAP RFC calls within a .NET Application (as a replacement of the SAP Connector for .NET, which is unfortunately no longer maintened by SAP and I don't can use third party products like "ErpConnect"). Makes this idea sense or not ? This questions can be also seen in conjunction of my question concerning connecting SAP and Microsoft (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2198168/microsoft-and-sap)

Answer 1

The adapters in the Biztalk adapter pack are build on the WCF LOB adapter SDK, so it's possible to use them without a Biztalk Server installation. I think you should take a look at the SAP tRFC Client sample from Microsoft on how to implement your solution. It's located at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/biztalk/cc196386.aspx.
