02 February 10 11:08 AM | wmmihaa | 4 comment(s)
I’ve seen several posts of how to add .cs files to your VS2008 BizTalk projects ( Yossi has a good post ), but none of them shows how to use them, which is not that obvious. First of all, you can not use classes defined in the same project as the orchestration...

The Host adapters is a very significant part of BizTalk. However, the knowledge about them are almost absent, which is unfortunate as they should be quite useful. A quick study among our biggest clients shows that many of them are still using mainframe...

For the last four months I’ve been developing a benchmarking tool for BizTalk which is going to be released soon. However, I thought I’d share some of the pain you might run into while developing custom tooling for BizTalk. The problem lies with communicating...

What is a BizTalk Application?
18 June 09 03:00 PM | wmmihaa | 4 comment(s)
The absence of guidelines and discussions on this topic puzzles me. As I’ve asked myself this question many times, without coming up with a one-size-fits-all solution. Is it a “Process”, a “System” or perhaps a “Unit of deployment”? The BizTalk Documentation...

The 2009 version of BizTalk Server is soon to be released, but we have been asked to give feedback to the product team on what features we’d like to see in future releases. My plan was to focus on smaller things that I think would make a big difference...

BizTalk 2009 - Build & Deploy automation with Team Foundation Server 2008 – Part 1
11 February 09 01:40 AM | wmmihaa | 16 comment(s)
BizTalk Server 2009 comes with support for MSBuild. The question is, how can we use it, and how does it help us? The obvious advantage is of course, that this enables Visual Studio BizTalk projects to be deployed to the production environment without...
