BizTalk: Solved - MessageType not promoted!

In my previous post MessageType not promoted I had a problem that the MessageType will not be promoted if there was an inbound mapping failure.

Unfortunately the MSDN Forum - BizTalk General also had no solution for this problem. Because of this problem I have contacted someone from Microsoft who may answer this question.

Windows 2008: Snipping Tool

There is a missing feature within Windows Server 2008 called Snipping Tool.

This tool enables you to capture screenshots, or snip, of any object on your screen, and then annotate, save, or sage the image.

BizTalk: WCF - SQL Adapter for BizTalk 2009

If you are using the standard SQL adapter what is part of BizTalk you must be known that this adapter in the nearby future will not be supported anymore by Microsoft.

Because of this reason it is a best-practice to replace this adapter to the new WCF-SQL adapter.

This adapter which is also part of the BizTalk Adapter Pack 2.0 is also available as stand-alone download.

BizTalk: MessageType not promoted !

On the Microsoft MSDN Forums I have asked a question why the MessageType is not promoted when an error occurred in the inbound mapping of the receiveport.

Unfortunately this was not the answer I was hoping for.

BizTalk, ESB: Microsoft ESB Toolkit 2.0

Finally the new ESB Toolkit 2.0 is available for download at the Microsoft website.
The name has also been changed from ESB Guidance to ESB Toolkit and this version will not be available on CodePlex anymore.

BizTalk, ESB: CDATA element incorrectly closed

  

We are using the Microsoft BizTalk Enterprise Server Bus (ESB) Guidance 2.0 CTP 2 as best practice within Microsoft BizTalk 2009. At the moment we are using especially the exception handling for fault handling.

We are not using the included ESB portal for resubmit the fault message but we have created a SharePoint Web Part which reads the EsbExceptionDB.

Unfortunately we have discovered that the Message Data that is written to the database is incorrectly when using CDATA elements in your original message.

SQL Server 2008: Change Data Capture (CDC)

 

Within SQL Server 2008 there is a new feature called Change Data Capture (CDC). This features makes it possible to track changes such as insert, update or delete of a specific table within a database.

It will read the transaction log within SQL Server by running a job and will write the changes in a new system table within the database which you can query to get the changes.
