Biztalk Adapters

951 of 1205 | BizTalk Server 2006 CTP Build Installation - Well, after about 10 tries on a freshly built Windows XP SP2 laptop I was finally able to get the CTP build of BizTalk Server 2006 installed and configured.  I had installed it before with no problems.  For some reason, this new image of Windows just did not want to cooperate.   The problem I ran into was with the configuration of the user groups.  I received this error: Failed to check if BizTalk Application Users is a valid domain group.   This seemed odd, since this is a stand alone laptop.  It is not a member of any domain.  I was putting my user name for the Biztalk configuration as “biztalkuser”.  I noticed in SQL 2005, the user name was listed as ComputerName\biztalkuser.  I tired th......

953 of 1205 | Latency vs. Bandwidth Developers vs. Einstein - One piece of The Ultimate Wisdom which is quoted quite often is that "chatty interfaces kill the performance of a distributed application". But actually, it`s not the chatty interface which kills it - the really limiting factor is instead one of the handful of unchallenged physical constants of this universe: the speed of light. But let me come back to this later. Whenever something - and this can be something non-physical like a stream of bytes or a huge chunk of extremely physical rocks - needs to move, you can choose between a set of different alternatives in the way you transport it: You can transfer as much as possible in one go, or alternatively, you could take multiple round trips w......

954 of 1205 | Biztalk Server 2006 Officially Launched - Today marked the official launch of Biztalk Server 2006, SQL Server 2005, and Visual Studios 2005.   On top of getting free version of SQL 2005 and Visual Studios 2005 at the launch event, Microsoft has posted a new Biztalk 2006 version to Beta Place.    The new version is the CTP Build with the Beta 2 release to hopefully follow later on.                              From what I hear, the CTP build includes the new Line of Business (LOB) adapters.   A few points: - This release works on the RTM of SQL 2005 and Visual Studios 2005 - I was not able to find the CAB file included with the download.  So, internet access might be required to download it. - I needed to restart the computer a......

955 of 1205 | Launch, Launch, Launch - In my 5 years in the business, today is the today I`m most proud of.  Not because we are finished with BizTalk Server 2006 - we are not - but we are making lots of progress having released out second and CTP build that works on the RTM versions of SQL and VS.NET.  Incidentally the quality of this build is pretty good, and beta 2 is currently in release candidate mode so we aren`t too far away from another release which is a true beta.  With beta 2 our early adopter customers will have the option to go into production - so we are at a more scalable, more stable, more feature complete point than we ever has been at this time in the cycle. No - today it is all about visibility.  As a BizTalk g......

956 of 1205 | Routing Messages to the MQ Dead Letter Queue - I recently had a fun problem to solve for a client of mine, essentially they wanted to route messages to the MQ Series dead letter queue and have the MQ dead letter queue handler move those messages to the queue they defined in the dead letter.   The first problem was getting the message on the MQ dead letter queue, John and Anil gave some great pointers here, it turns out to send a message to the dead letter queue the message needs to be pre-pended with the dead letter header (DLH) and the MQMD_Format property needs to be set to MQ "MQDEAD  " so that MQ knows to expect the DLH.   Serializing the Dead Letter Header To achieve this I wrote a DLH utilities component that allows the various ......

959 of 1205 | Transport-Level Correlation in BizTalk 2004/2006 - This great post from Tomas on receiving ack/nack notifications from the MSMQ[C] adapter prompted me to write up something I had researched a few weeks back... But first, a bit of background... When doing work with message queueing systems, a very common (and well supported) convention exists when two systems are exchanging messages: System `A` sends a message to System `B`.  When System `B` wishes to reply, it uses the message identifier of the `request` message as the correlation identifier of the `reply` message.  The reply queue used is either well known by both parties, or is communicated as a property on the request message.  For purposes of dis......

So let me dump my memory . .  Kernel Streaming is a fairly complicated topic. And to study this, the available resources are the DDK help documentation and the samples. AFAIK, there are no books written on this topic. And what is present online is also meager.  The Streaming Devices (Video & Audio) subsection of the DDK help, has everything documented. Now,  in order to emulate a virtual audio hardware, we have to write an Audio Miniport Adapter driver. The MSAVD sample source code can be used for this purpose.

Why migrate to MSMQ Adapter Technically, you dont have to migrate to MSMQ adapter. MSMQ/T is present and fully supported in BizTalk 2006. It is deprecated, but that only means that it may be not there in some next future version. Again, in BizTalk 2006 it is present and fully supported. Many customers may prefer just to do nothing and continue to use MSMQ/T adapter and avoid migration pain at this time. Consider also the following question: Are you sure what kind of messaging you would like to migrate to in three-five years Have you checked the new .Net 2.0 framework ......

976 of 1205 | More on MSI Deployments - Launch Conditions.... - In talking with others, it appears that the NAnt vs. MSI deployment camps are pretty much split down the middle.  I tend to lean towards MSI deployments for several reasons. When dealing with MSI packages, it is often necessary to go beyond the somewhat basic BTSInstaller project that comes with BizTalk.  I have posted before on custom actions to fill in the gaps that come with using the BTSInstaller.  Another thing to think about when using MSI deployment is what happens if BizTalk is not installed to the default install directory (it`s very common for enterprise clients to install software to a drive other than C:\).  If you are deploying pipeline components, this is important as they hav......

977 of 1205 | What about BizTalk Indeed - Oliver Rist wrote a column in his blog titled "What about BizTalk" Historically I haven`t responded to these types of articles, but that`s what blogging is supposed to be for - expressing your opinions and this seemed like a good article to respond to so here we are. Starting at the beginning - I never really like the Michael Vaughan character on Alias. He kind of reminded of a secret agent for a certain European country and a Greenpeace incident in NZ a while back so I was happy to see him being written out of the script (assuming he doesn`t reincarnate). Oliver asserts that for the vast majority of its implementations BizTalk will require plenty of time and money. When I started in this ......

990 of 1205 | Avoid Premature Generalization - Youve no doubt heard me rant against premature optimization in the past, but Eric Gunnerson points out another Premature action to be avoided, Premature Generalization. His discussion centers around a very specific question of whether to use private properties to access private fields, or just allow access to the field. Note this discussion pertains to fields that are not publicly accessible via property nor direct access. The place youll often see premature generalization is when inexperienced developers start applying Design Patterns everywhere. If you need to instantiate a factory, implement an adapter class and use a bridge to the toilet just to take a dump, then you probably liv......

991 of 1205 | BizTalk Solution Designer: A First Look - I love the BTS 2004 messaging layer. You know that. But I`m the first to admit thatit hasn`t been the easiest thing for developers to use. I think the main usability issue stems from not being able to visualize what happens to a message as it enters, passes through, and leaves the system. There are numerous moving parts that come into play such asports, adapters, pipelines, maps, subscriptions, etc, and they`re configured across different controls and dialogs. This makes it difficult to approach a particular system and figure out what`s going on without spelunking around the different UI`s and stitching the overall configuration together in your head. Enter the BizTalk Solution Designer. Th......
