I am a solutions architect for an industry-leading biotechnology company, a Microsoft MVP for BizTalk Server, and a Microsoft Connected Systems Advisor. I have spent the majority of my career consulting with customers as they planned and implemented their enterprise software solutions. I worked first for two global IT consulting firms, which gave me exposure to a diverse range of industries, technologies, and business challenges. Then, I joined Microsoft as a SOA/BPM technology specialist where my sole objective was to educate and collaborate with customers as they considered, designed, and architected BizTalk solutions. One of those customers liked me enough to bring me onboard full time as an architect after they committed to using BizTalk Server as their enterprise service bus. Once the BizTalk environment was successfully established, I transitioned into a solutions architect role where I now help identify enterprise best practices and apply good architectural principles to a wide set of IT initiatives.
I am the author of the recently released “SOA Patterns for BizTalk Server 2009″ book which takes a look at how to apply good SOA principles to a wide variety of BizTalk scenarios. I also served as the technical reviewer for the “Pro BizTalk 2009″ book, released in August of 2009.

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.
Richard,
I have a question on how to copy values from envelopes to output messages when debatching messages using envelope schemas. What is the best way to contact you about that?
Thank you!
Yuri
Hi Yuri,
I got your email, and will respond shortly.
Hello Richard,
I was wondering if you have a solution/idea of why my WSDL generated from the Biztalk WebServices publishing wizard is not taking the XSD restrictions that I have in the schema file. I am publishing an orchestration as a web service but the WSDL generated does not take the XSD restritions (maxlength, facets etc) from the XSD file that I created. Do you know if this is a limitation by using the wizard or is there something that I am missing.
Thanks!
Eduardo,
Wrote about this a while back. See if this helps … http://seroter.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/reason-207-why-the-biztalk-wcf-adapter-is-better-than-the-soap-adapter/
Hi Richard,
We have a scenario where all the exceptions which occur need be communicated to the sender. i am planning to use Failed message routing capability of Biztalk. So now i have orchestrtaion which subscribes for all the errors which occur in the receive port. the plan is on basis of the error received in the ErrorReport.Description, we will send custom error message back to the sender.
When a incoing message fails schema validation in the disassemble stage of the receive pipeline, it throws on eventlog like
“No Disassemble stage components can recognize the data”
or
‘http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd:DailyPullPurchaseOrder’ element is not declared.
depending on the exception
But the ErrorReport.Description in the failed message subscribing orch always has this error
“The Messaging Engine encountered an error during the processing of one or more inbound messages.”..
This error comes for all types of exceptions which makes it very difficult to perform a decision in the orchestration.
Please advice.
Regards,
Mahesh
