Hi,

This is a clever tool with a great walkthrough of how to host WF in BizTalk. However, I am not sure I see much value in doing this. Its a long way from having BizTalk using WF as the platform for the orchestration designer.

I would appreciate it if you answer my questions, it would help me understand where this tool fits in to the scheme of things:

1. Presumably its possible for the same BizTalk orchestration to host multiple workflows? And if so, does the orchestration tool support that?

2. Is it right that BizTalk would not be able to serialise the workflow when the workflow is running, only before it has run or after is has run?

3. Can the same workflow have more than one entry and exit point in the orchestration? E.g. BizTalk calls the workflow which returns a message after a couple of activities. BizTalk does some more stuff then calls the same workflow again which picks up from where it left off. (Hope I make sense there!)

Thanks!!

McGeeky

Hello McGeeky,

>>1. Presumably its possible for the same BizTalk orchestration to host multiple workflows? And if so, does the orchestration tool support that?

No, we are working on a 1 to 1 relationship between the workflow model and the proxy orchestration.

>>2. Is it right that BizTalk would not be able to serialise the workflow when the workflow is running, only before it has run or after is has run?

No, BizTalk can serialize (or dehydrate) the workflow instance whilst it is idle. The workflow instance is persisted into the BizTalk orchestration instance before dehydration.

>>3. Can the same workflow have more than one entry and exit point in the orchestration? E.g. BizTalk calls the workflow which returns a message after a couple of activities. BizTalk does some more stuff then calls the same workflow again which picks up from where it left off. (Hope I make sense there!)

Yes, there can be multiple messaging points in a workflow which are all mapped to messages via ports in the BizTalk orchestration.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Only one question :-)

When can exactly expect the CTP release? Will it also be open source? And is it possible to release some in-depth information about prior to the release?

re: BizTalk Adapter for Windows Workflow Foundation sample (June 2007 CTP)

pandrew — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 18:56:04 GMT

Hi Wouter,

We're still on track for a CTP release before the end of the month. Subscribe here and you'll be the first to hear about it.

The source will be included, and you can review the applicable license before you install it.

Cheers,

Paul
