BizTalk Development Center

BizTalk support team has started adding content to BizTalk Development Center on MSDN.

Their goal is continually update with information:

  • Common call generators, including Symptoms and potential Resolutions
  • Potential scenarios and their fixes
  • Contributing to the monthly theme
  • Providing learning materials, including some of the same BizTalk 2009 training materials that the BizTalk support team used:

    • BizTalk Server Training from Microsoft Customer Service and Support. The last offers training information about BizTalk Server. There I found some interesting documents, which you can download from there:

    • Learning the New EDI Features of BizTalk Server 2009
    • Learning the New EDI Features of BizTalk Server 2009
    • Understanding the New BizTalk Adapter for Oracle E-Business Suite
    • Understanding the New BizTalk Adapter for SQL Server

    DTAP Strategy: Pricing and Licensing

    Image
    To implement BizTalk solutions it is a good practice to have an DTAP environment in place. DTAP stands for Development, Test, Acceptance and Production. Development and test environments are equal (mirrored) and same account for acceptance and production. Deploying DTAP environments is easy, because there are many factors influencing outcome of DTAP. One factor is pricing and licensing costs. BizTalk is available in different editions and since BizTalk depends on operating system and database there are some configuration options to. Here is an overview of possible configurations for DTAP environments, hence there is a nice BizTalk Feature Dependency Matrix. Besides features, there are non-functional requirements to reckon with like fail-over, availability and scalability. On Microsoft Pricing and Licensing FAQ section of BizTalk I found this on non functional side. In a large BizTalk Server 2006 R2 deployment, two key considerations ensure redundancy in all areas of the architect...

    BizTalk CAT Instrumentation Framework Controller: My First Experience

    Image
    In past I have used log4net or System.Diagnostics.Trace component of .NET for logging and tracing. Until a few months ago the post Best Practices for Instrumenting High Performance BizTalk Solutions got my attention. I read it, but did not start using it directly as I wasn’t doing any development. These days I sometimes am involved in development of BizTalk solutions, so moment was there. Recently BizTalk CAT Instrumentation Framework Controller was released on CodePlex . The BizTalk CAT Instrumentation Framework is a high performance tracing/logging framework for BizTalk that builds upon the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) infrastructure. It was created by Microsoft's BizTalk Customer Advisory Team (CAT). The Controller is an easy-to-use GUI for the BizTalk CAT Instrumentation Framework. My thinking was why don’t I try this UI out in combination with Microsoft AppFabric CAT Best Practices Samples . The BizTalk Instrumentation Best Practices Samples solution provides a reus...

    Table Operation on Oracle 11g XE with OracleDbBinding

    Image
    Last year I did a post on table operations on SQL Server Table with WCF-SQL Adapter from BizTalk on SQL. Now I like to do similar thing on table in Oracle 11g Express database using the Oracle Binding from BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010. Oracle 11g Express Edition is available through OTN. For downloading software you will need to have an account! It is important that when accessing Oracle you have appropriate client installed. This can sometimes be a hassle if you do not know, which client you need. When you trying to connect to Oracle you will get error messages like: Connecting to the LOB system has failed. Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.111.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.. This can be pretty annoying, but there is documentation that can help you going the right direction. In installation documentation I read that supported versions are: Oracle d...
