Today I dived in the new BAM Portal of BTS2006 Beta 1 and had it up and running BAM in about 1 hour. First of all I Migrate a simple project EAISolution (from the Labs of BTS2004 maybe u know it) and I had a BAM xls SalesManagerView.xls copied to my project directory. The migration from VSS2003 to VSS2005 went perfectly. I filled in a new application EAISolution and deployed it.
After the deployment of the orchestration and the EAISchemas I started up my new Application. So far so good.
SQL Server 2000 Notification Services, Standard Edition 2.0 SP1 and I installed an earlier version. So I uninstalled that version and installed the newer version and started up the BizTalk Server Configuration Tool and I noticed that I could press on the check box , filled in all the Alert field like Alert File Location (Network drive) , SMTP Server , Alert Database. The last option in this screen gives me an error the Prefix of the Alert Database names. I filled in BAMAlerts and everything went fine. I think this is a small bug. I reported this to the Microsoft guys.
BizTalk generates two extra database : BAMAlertsApplication and BAMAlertsNSMain.
A little example of the BAM Portal u can so here :
