Yesterday I saw a great phenomenon on one of our client's production servers. They ran into some trouble using BizTalk and a custom build adapter. The adapter wouldn't send a message to the application, but BizTalk’s Health and Activity Tracking was telling me otherwise. My theory on the non delivery...

It's surprising how life sucks sometimes. Some company can just create something that will make your day miserable, makes you cry, feel awful and creates the urge to hit back. Thanks Dennis for the input on this ;-). Today I was trying to send e-mail via my local SMTP server (XP Professional SP2) using...

One of the Microsoft propositions is using Navision 3.70, Commerce Gateway 4.0 and BizTalk Server 2004 for B2B integration. Trying to get this to work is not documented (yet). So I decided to put my experience to "blog". Let's say we have two Navision companies on a single server and u want...

March this year I posted about this phenomenon. The real problem is that now, after installing SP1, also the dynamic send connections are left open (they are closed after the session timeout). As it is a dynamic port a new connection is opened with every file send. Due to the limited amount of connections...

String literals in BizTalk port filters Send port filters have no quotes. Receive port (in orchestrations) filters have quotes. With thanks to Ben Cops .

Scott Woodgate shows a glimpse into the future with a working prototype demo illustrating BizTalk Server and "Indigo" working together.

Because of the limited FTP connections I can use, I came across a change in functionality after installing SP1 for BizTalk Server 2004. The pre-SP1 FTP adapter used to close its connection after sending a file. It would just send the FTP - QUIT command. The BizTalk product Group changed this in order...

Ask a UNIX professional which is best to pickup files on a UNIX machine by a windows file adapter, for instance BizTalk, and the answer will most probably be: "You can easily use Samba". SaMBa uses the Server Message Block Protocol to share files and printers with a Windows machine. But unfortunately...

As project-managers try to be smart (and cheap) when it comes to buying software used in fixed price projects, I feel the need post the following: BizTalk Server is sold in 4 different editions as you can read on microsoft.com/biztalk. But note that you cannot use a Partner Edition (approx. 1K Euro)...

Want to have a closer look at what BizTalk really does, read the temporary C# source code files generated by BizTalk during compilation. This is how it's done .

The BizTalk Server 2004 SP1 fix list came be found here . I don't know if it's official but it at least is something, as there is none supplied with SP1.

Microsoft released a new version of the BizTalk Server 2004 Installation Guide on januari the 4 th . One thing worth mentioning was surely the problems you face renaming a SQL Server after installation as written by Patrick . And don't tell me it's never been done.

In my current project we use the BizTalk Explorer by Martijn Hoogendoorn. But we get the following error on the production server if we try to edit a send or receive location: "could not display property frame. COM object with CLSID {8C84BD07-D771-4704-96FA-C482BC6BAA6B} is either not valid or not registered...

Whilst installing BizTalk Server today I ran into a strange thing. Share Point Services 2.0 does have two builds (August 29 th - 34,733 KB and November 30 th - 34,730 KB) with the same version number (6.0.2600.0000). So be warned: if you need to install BizTalk download every piece of software again...
