"Gotcha" When Deleting Suspended BizTalk Messages
Today I’m sitting in a “BizTalk Administration” class being taught to 20 of my co-workers by my buddy Victor. I’ve retired from teaching internal training classes on BizTalk, so the torch has been passed and I get to sit in the back and heckle the teacher. One thing that I finally confirmed today after having […]
Differences in BizTalk Subscription Handling for SOAP and WCF Adapter Messages
September 25, 2008
I recently encountered a bit of a “gotcha” when looking at how BizTalk receives WCF messages through its adapters. I expected my orchestration subscription for messages arriving from either the SOAP adapter or WCF adapter to behave similarly, but alas, they do not. Let’s say I have two schemas. I’m building an RPC-style service that […]
Building Enterprise Mashups using RSSBus: Part IV
September 17, 2008
We conclude this series of blog posts by demonstrating how to take a set of feeds, and mash them up into a single RSS feed using RSSBus. If you’ve been following this blog series, you’ll know that I was asked by my leadership to prove that RSSBus could generate a 360° view of a “contact” […]

Building Enterprise Mashups using RSSBus: Part III
September 15, 2008
In the first two posts of this series, I looked at how to aggregate data from multiple sources and mash them up into a single data entity that could be consumed by an RSS client. In this post, I will show off the new SOAP Connector from RSSBus. Earlier in this series, I talked about […]
Building Enterprise Mashups using RSSBus: Part II
September 8, 2008
In the previous post, I laid out a data visibility problem and proposed using RSSBus to build an enterprise mashup that inflates a single data entity whose attributes reside in multiple disparate systems. Before a mashup can be built, we actually need the source data in a ready-to-mashup format. For the mashup I am building, […]
Building Enterprise Mashups using RSSBus: Part I
September 5, 2008
I’ve been a fan of RSSBus from /n software for some time. A few weeks ago our Executive Director / Chief Architect / Technology Overlord recently asked me to build a real, live enterprise mashup application to demonstrate for our IT leadership group. Our goal was to show that RSSBus could be used to quickly […]
Goodbye BizTalk 2006 R3, Hello BizTalk 2009
September 5, 2008
Good communication today about not only the name change, but more importantly, the updated roadmap for BizTalk Server (read Q & A here, see roadmap here, and see BizTalk home page here, see Steve Martin’s announcement here). For me, the most important things communicated were: greater clarification on what the Oslo release means to BizTalk […]

Our first victim/subject was Tomas Restrepo. We continue the series by chatting with everyone’s favorite Swedish BizTalker, Alan Smith. Q: You spend a healthy […]
