Here’s another thing we bumped into recently that took a lot of time to find and fix. In a project in which I’m sideways involved a BizTalk generated WebService was deployed using a setup project. These projects by default include all dependencies, which are all BizTalk assemblies. Deployed this way...
I have written a custom adapter over two years ago that worked a charm back then. Recently I had to use it again in a little project. It worked, but not when an error occurred on transmission. In that case it failed with the following errors in the eventlog: “The Messaging Engine encountered an error...
Just came across this post on the newsgroups. 15 Sessions and 7 Labs dedicated to BizTalk, including at least 4 on BTS 2006. Mmm, last year I needed to perform on a chair to get a Tech-Ed ticket, I wonder what they make me do this year ;-).
When I learned BizTalk 2004 over a year ago now, I also took a day to play with the Business Rules Engine. That day always left me with the feeling that you could do really cool things with that, but not a single occassion last year allowed me to put this engine to test. Now Microsoft published an interesting...
When BizTalk 2004 was launched, Microsoft announced that it supported large messages (into GB's). It was important to them because they broke the 4 MB limit that previous versions had. What wasn't very clear, is that this statement is mainly about the fact that they use streaming to handle incoming messages...
One of the interesting questions that raises with the release of Indigo coming is how Indigo and BizTalk will relate now and in the future. A roadmap was presented about that during the VSLive keynote . Surprisingly nothing was announced for BizTalk 2004. BizTalk 2006 will have an indigo adapter, so...
Just saw that my last serious post dates back to november 5th. A lot has happened in between, like a project with no internet connection (aaargh), two weeks of serious illness and some BizTalk deployment issues on one of my projects. It's one of those issues that I like to blog about. We use the BizTalk...
I had a great week last week. The project I was starting suddenly changed direction, in such a way that BizTalk was no longer needed. End of project to me and nothing in the pipeline yet (apart from some open issues). Don't worry though, my days are filled for next week and on. But not with BizTalk....
Scott posted a very interesting document about choosing a workflow approach with BizTalk. I was particularly surprised with the statement that HWS (Human Workflow Services) will not be extended or enhanced and ultimately removed from BizTalk (not in the next version, though). HWS will be replaced by...
