I am currently a Solutions Architect for a major biotechnology company. Prior to this role, I worked at Microsoft as a Technology Specialist for BizTalk.
After graduating from the University of California, San Diego in 1999, I joined Accenture (then Andersen Consulting) and started a career in consulting. As soon as Accenture and Microsoft announced the formation of Avanade in March of 2000, I jumped over to focus on Microsoft-based IT consulting. After 5 years of consulting at Avanade, I was coaxed into joining Microsoft in a sales capacity. In late 2006 I was asked by one of my Microsoft customers to come on board as an Integration Architect. A year later, I was shifted to our Solutions Architecture team to function as a Solutions Architect and focus on designing a wide range of enterprise solutions.
In 2008, I was granted MVP status by Microsoft for my work with BizTalk Server.

Hello Richard,
I facing a problem with SQL adapter when I get data from SQL server and try to put that data in another SQL server, both SQL server has same version , same table sturcture and their is no error reporting in HAT tool, but in the end I did’nt get any data in my destination database. Yes I have done it from SP but not be able to do that from updategrams so that why I taking your project sample for my help.
I know and I tested it when my destination is set xml file its give me my all data from source database but don’t get any when I set it to SQL Server as destination.
Can u give me any idea, suggestion or help who I can get rid off from this unresolvable problem. I am looking for your help.
Hey Xero,
I don’t want to debug this on the “About” page, so shoot me another note if the suggestions below don’t work.
So stored procedure works, but you’re trying updategrams as well? You’ve generated a schema for your destination SQL Server table from the wizard, and map the “source” XML to the “destination” XML? And there are no suspended messages, retry messages, or errors in the event log, but you DON’T see the data in the destination SQL Server? You could try returning a value from your stored proc to prove that you actually made it across.
Richard,
We are in the process at my company of rolling out BizTalk as a main component of our (complex) e-Commerce application. I’ve got a question regarding actual BizTalk deployments that I have been unable to find answers to while trolling the Blogsphere for answers. Can I ask you, and if so, shall i use this forum? Thanks so much
Hi Philip,
I’ll send you an email.
