The BizTalk Solution Designer

Published Thu, Sep 15 2005 9:26 PM

I just saw a video on Channel 9 about the BizTalk Solution Designer. That stuff is really brilliant. The solution designer gives you a visual workspace that you can use to create ports, assign pipelines and maps to them and visually define the routing rules between them. Very intuitive and very well done.

Unfortunately, if I understood the video correctly, it will be in the version of BizTalk that ships after BTS2006. Which is a bummer because the stuff that was shown is really a missing link in creating complex message routing environments. Cool stuff, though.

Seen the demos at the PDC, mapper and designer are looking awesome and even more to come. You did understand it correctly, the designer ships after version 2006, they explicitly stated that because of the channel 9 video,

If you would like to hear about a product, built on top of BizTalk, that provides similar functionality to BizTalk Solution Designer and is available today, have a look at:
