When developing a query through a Solicit-Response port you get the error: “An error occurred while parsing EntityName”

This error is caused if you include an ampersand directly in your query string. If you build queries in ADSIEdit they might look like:

(&(objectCategory=user)(sAMAccountName=Jane))

The “&” character is not allowed in XML. Instead use “&”

For example:

<Directives WhereToBind="LDAP://DC2008R2/CN=Users,DC=test,DC=com" SearchScope="onelevel" Filter="(&amp;(objectCategory=user)(sAMAccountName=Jane))" PropertiesToReturn="distinguishedName"/>

FAQs
Will the ActiveADAPTER Send Adapter return error information back to my orchestration?

Yes. The adapter will return any exceptions back to your application AFTER any retries you have configured have been done.

Within your orchestration you can use Scope shapes to catch exceptions. In your exception handlers you can retrieve the error description to determine which way to branch.

Sample orchestrations that illustrate exception handing are included in the ActiveADAPTER Samples folder.
