Hi everyone,
The next Auckland Connected Systems User Group meeting will be held on Thursday, the 22nd of January, 6pm, at Datacom – 210 Federal Street, Auckland CBD.
Yours truly, Thiago Almeida, will be presenting on the new capabilities of BizTalk Server 2009. I will go over the new capabilities introduced with this version, the BizTalk roadmap from now on, and if there is time I will also talk about the ESB Guidance 2.0 that was release at the same time as BizTalk 2009 Beta.
Please register if you plan on coming. Don’t forget to forward the meeting details to anyone you think might like to attend.
Happy Holidays!
The first beta of BizTalk Server 2009 has been released today, and it is available for download from the connect website. Release notes, the single server installation guide, and the 2009 accelerators are also available for download on that same page. At the same time version 2.0 of the ESB Guidance that runs on BizTalk 2009 was released. Pretty exciting!
The installation and configuration guide alone has a lot of information and answers (for example, it’s supported on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP with Service Pack 3, or Windows Vista with Service Pack 1, and the database can be SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2005 SP2).
This is an amazing effort by Microsoft’s Connected Systems Division who since its conception in 2005 have been releasing a lot of great applications and frameworks.
Today the BizTalk Adapter Development team announced a new whitepaper on troubleshooting the BizTalk Server Soap adapter in BizTalk 2006 and BizTalk 2006 R2 (although a lot of if not all still applies to BizTalk 2004). The download link is here.
The whitepaper goes over the basics of the Soap adapter, several troubleshooting steps, throttling settings, exposing an orchestration as a web service, certificates, consuming web services, tracing tools and more.
I wish they would have added some examples of the tracing tools being used in different scenarios as a lot of companies struggle a bit with them, but the whitepaper is a great resource for those still using the Soap adapter!
