4 of 889 | What I hadn’t appreciated about schema versioning in BizTalk Server - Most people know that when processing a message through the XmlDisassembler, if not explicitly told which schema to use through configuration, the disassembler would try to resolve the correct schema based on the message’s root node and namespace. Most would also know, usually through the experience of getting it wrong so many times first, that if more than one assembly contains the same combination of root node and namespace for a schema, the receive pipeline, containing the disassembler, would fail with the error “Cannot locate document specification because multiple schemas matched the message type “<your message type here>”.” What some miss (ehm, ehm) is that this is not true ......

7 of 889 | Installing BizTalk Server 2006 R2 on Vista - Just installed BizTalk on my Vista notebook. Here are some information that may help:
My BizTalk’s edition – BizTalk Server 2006 R2 (Developer edition)
Operating System – Windows Vista Ultimate
The installation process is as seamless as it was for previous editions of BizTalk Server 2006. Only important point to remember is you download the prerequisite cab file for Vista. You may be in habit of using previously downloaded prerequisite cab file. Setup will automatically download the CAB file (BtsRedistVistaEN32.cab) if you are connected to internet.
After installation of BTS R2, the configuration UI appeared. I selected “Basic Configuration”, provided credentials, SQL Server lo......

This application had been running well in production for a while but enhancements were required to make use of web methods recently made available by the 3rd party. After making the changes I tested the BTS application on my dev box, calling a stubbed web service installed locally. I then deployed the BizTalk app to an integration test environment that has connectivity to the 3rd party web service. On running the application I started to receive exceptions such as the following:

17 of 889 | Introducing: BizTalkCop - [Source: http://geekswithblogs.net/EltonStoneman]
To make good on a rash comment around the lack of standards-enforcement for BizTalk, I've put together a set of FxCop rules which allow you to run static analysis over BizTalk solutions. It covers all aspects by running rules against compiled artifact assemblies and configured BizTalk applications. It's on CodePlex here: BizTalkCop.
The first release(1.0) contains a full ruleset for validating BizTalk application artifact names, based on Scott Colestock's naming conventions. By default the rules are more strict in places, but they're configurable so you can modify them to suit your own standards.
Usage
Currently BizTalk projects don......

During the first stage of the Integration project a number of challenges were encountered. Some of these obstacles could have been avoided but we chose to resolve them so that we would have a solid solution for further development.
Challenges Encountered
· Server 500 error when posting messages to customer with a static port configuration and document that worked for other customers.
· Ponton responds with an ‘Internal Storage’ Error.
· The dynamic port fails with either a 500 server error or a 204 (StatusDescription=No Content) server error.

19 of 889 | Biztalk Server: What's wrong with the UDDI Features of the The ESB Guidance Toolkit v1? - I spent some time today looking at Microsoft's Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Guidance Toolkit, and this reminded me of an issue which we noticed a year ago, and did attempt to raise with Microsoft at the time, but which I never blogged about. It's always a little uncomfortable taking the good people at Redmond to task, but, while this is hardly the most urgent problem facing today's world, it is, nevertheless, a bit of a problem and something which should be addressed.
In the article, I discuss the problem, where the Toolkit goes wrong, how UDDI should be used, and a possible remedy. The article is at http://geekswithblogs.net/cyoung/archive/2008/11/12/126975.aspx.

21 of 889 | BizTalk RFID 2009 - EPCIS Unveiled - Over this year, we have been talking to a number of partners and customers on the usage of EPCIS. It appears that many companies are in the process of evaluating EPCIS in the form of pilots. Many customers have also insisted on the availability of EPCIS in the middleware platforms that they evaluate. In the BizTalk RFID 2009 release, we will be releasing client components to enable building of EPCIS Services. What does this mean and why should you care? EPCIS, in broad terms, consists of a capture service, a query service and a repository. An EPCIS event is posted to a capture service (typically from multiple RFID deployments) and these events are saved to a repository. A standard query ......

in one spot.

inbetween)

There are quite a few of the MVPs and “influencers” out this year, and I’m looking forward to catching up on old times and having intelligent and informed discussions about what’s hot at PDC.

Tomas' library inspired me to write some test steps for the BizUnit framework that would allow for true unit testing of BizTalk components: being able to test BizTalk components without having to deploy the components to a BizTalk server, making testing roundtrips easier and overall less painfull. As additional advantage, you can have all tests use a similar approach/syntax, and use the already present validation steps to validate the results. I have implemented the following steps for BizUnit:

It is a key time for Microsoft’s Connected Systems Division (CSD) as they go public with their plans for .NET 4, Oslo and ‘Dublin’. Microsoft’s announcement of Dublin led immediately to an interesting, if somewhat predictable, debate within the company I work for, and I think it is worth going over some of that territory here.

You can find some other resequencer patterns (most notably, in the Pro BizTalk Server 2006 book), but I was looking for something fairly simple and straightforward. My related messages all come into BizTalk at roughly the same time, and, there are no more than 20 in a related batch.
