For how to configure SQL Adapter and Debatching see the article writtin by Richard Seroter This problem occurs when you process a message that uses a document structure that resembles the following. <DDLService xmlns="http://www.digitaldeposit.net/schemas/SQL"> <CustomerActivationMessages AccountNumber="12345" DDLServiceType="ORDERRESPONSE" DDLServiceName="ORDERRESPONSE" CompanyName="XYZ" CountryCode="GB" />...

2/20/2007 BizTalk Developers, have you enabled DTA Purge and Archive (BizTalkDTADb) SQL job on your development machine?

Posted at: 2/20/2007 at 6:28 PM by saravana
In development machines, BizTalk developers normally tend to enable full body tracking of messages they process inside the BizTalk server for debugging purpose. As BizTalk Server processes more and more data on your system (over a period of time), the BizTalk Tracking (BizTalkDTADb) database continues to grow in size. Unchecked growth decreases system performance and may generate errors in the Tracking Data Delivery Service (TDDS). In addition to general tracking data, tracked messages can als... [More]

2/19/2007 "BizTalk Server 2004: Receieve Pipeline woes v2" by Charles Young, I guess description for "Seekable streams and MAPS" is incorrect.

Posted at: 2/19/2007 at 7:32 PM by saravana
Charles Young has written this article "Receive Pipeline Woes V2"  few months back. It's one of the very good articles out there, which explains some of the insights of BizTalk Server internals. But under the heading "Seekable Streams" it appears that the description is not correct. Recently, I came across a strange problem with custom pipeline component and Biztalk MAPs. My custom pipeline component does very simple task something like re... [More]

2/12/2007 Changing FEED URL to FeedBurner

Posted at: 2/12/2007 at 2:35 PM by saravana
Hello All, Due to the rich statistics information given by FeedBurner I decided to move my feed URL to FeedBurner permanently. My blog aggregator and current FeedBurner statistics shows I've around 25 subscribers. Even though it’s not a great number I don't want to lose them because of the move. I took enough time before making this decision. I'm going to remove all the links to my current feeds (Atom 0.3, Atom 1.0, RSS 2.0) and just going to publish my new con... [More]

2/5/2007 My white paper published on msdn.microsoft.com/biztalk homepage

Posted at: 2/5/2007 at 6:38 PM by saravana
Last month I've written an article about Using design time properties in Biztalk Server. Initially the white paper was published on the download section of Microsoft site and there was no link from Biztalk pages. This morning I bumped into msdn looking for some other resource and found my article right on the home page of biztalk as a very first link Thanks Luke and editors for making this happen. Nandri!

2/5/2007 How to create an invisible .NET Application?

Posted at: 2/5/2007 at 6:35 PM by saravana
Formless application or in my terms invisible .NET applications. I recently end up in a situation where I want to run my console application on a regular schedule via Scheduled task. Problem with that is, it opens ups the schedule every time it runs the application. There were few suggestions in the newsgroups to create a Windows NT service, or WinForms application and make the form invisible etc, etc. None of them were appropriate for me. At last I ended up with a quick and efficie... [More]
