It's been long time since I posted the last one. I was pretty busy in working on the WCF adapter documentation for R2. In addition to the WCF adapters, R2 also has EDI, RFID, and WCF/WinWF interceptors. I think this release has a very high quality. The WCF adapter has been improved a lot since Beta 1...

I think there will be no engine changes in R2, but this product refresh will include a number of interesting features and enhancements. For example, R2 adds EDI, RFID, WCF and WF BAM Interceptors, the WCF adapter and supports the R2 Adapter Framework and new releases of LOB adapters. You can get more...

I wrote three of them as follows: 1) SSO as Configuration Store This sample provides an implementation of a sample class and a walkthrough that demonstrates how to use the SSO administrative utility and the SSOApplicationConfig command-line tool...

I think the BizUnit is a must tool for BizTalk developers. But, as for me, it isn’t easy to memorize the syntax for the steps. I had to switch back and forth between a working solution and the BizUnit sample solution to copy and paste the XML nodes. So..I made some code snippets for BizUnit 2006 . ...

It has been long time since I posted. I’ve been too pressed with my works and survival in the whole new country. By the way, the BizTalk Server Developer Center and the BizTalk Server TechCenter are renewed with BizTalk Server 2006. Unfortunately, my samples weren’t yet published. I wrote the samples...

Yesterday some customers told me that they were suffering from “Completed with discarded messages” in an orchestration using the sequential convoy. They asked me how to solve. I heard from other customer about the same issue last year. I think it is the one of the most frequent problems customers encounter...

I guess the BizTalk Server 2006 CTP (Community Technical Preview) version will be distributed to TechEd 2005 attendees. I used be involved in a customer program introducing BizTalk Server 2006 to real customers. When they faced the major features of BizTalk Server 2006, they surely seemed to be quite...

Originally BizTalk Server 2004 has the limitation of adding new EDI schemas. However SP1 now allows to add new schemas and the KB article 840113 describes how to implement EDI schemas for BizTalk.

However, BizTalk Server SP1 now allows to add new schemas. This tool generates XML schemas for Base EDI Adapter...

Thank you again for attending the BizTalk MSDN seminar last weekend . There were about 200 attendees and you can fnd the picture on the event from here .

You can find an interesting article about code name WinOE from " WinOE Workflow Prepped For Whidbey, Longhorn, Office 12 In 2006 " . I have no idea of WinOE itself, but if it supports the current orchestration features as well as ad-hoc workflow in one integrated engine, it will be great improvement...

I’ve made several speeches about BizTalk Server already. During the presentation, I often felt that the attendees were interested in the product. But, after then, to be honest I got several feedbacks that it isn’t easy to start. I have to make a speeches regarding BizTalk Server at MSDN Korea seminar...

When you create a BizTalk project as a part of the Enterprise Template of Visual Studio .NET 2003, an additional .(dot) would follow the project name which you input. For example, if you enter the “Project1” as the BizTalk project name, the generated project name will be “Project1.”, and the compiled...

The other day, a partner asked me the relationship between GetServiceDescription and GetServiceOrganization methods in IStaticAdapterConfig interface. The help documentation isn’t in detail enough to understand it. At first, the static adapter design time component should have to implement the IStaticAdapterConfig...

There is a small problem in DotNetFile Adapter in BizTalk Server 2004 SDK. You could find it when you change any receive handler property of the adapter by BizTalk Administration tool. After the modification of the value, you would encounter an error in the event log, that is “HRESULT: "The required...

When developing the BizTalk adapter’s runtime component, it is required to implement IPersistPropertyBag interface and its Load method. Through the IPropertyBag parameter of the method, the messaging engine passes the adapter’s handler properties to the adapter when it initializes the adapter in runtime...

I’ve always heard from customers and partners that Adapters and Pipeline interfaces of BizTalk Server aren’t well organized, and they seem to be COM API, not .NET API. For example, they usually use interface, not inheritance even when inheritance seems to be much more suitable. Or they don’t seem to...
