4/26/2007 Ah!! Control flow didn't get into my exception handler block inside the orchestration (or) how can I handle the exception when the send port raises the error with suspended (resumable) status.

Posted at: 4/26/2007 at 7:01 PM by saravana
Conditions: 1. Above orchestration is constructed with just default settings. 2. Logical port Port_2 is configured to use a Send Port with FILE adapter pointing to an unknown URI (purposely, to generate error) and RetryCount = 0 3. Logical port Port_5 is configured to use a Send Port with FILE adapter (normal valid setting). Will the control flow get into exception handler? In the above scenario the orchestration will complete successfully w... [More]

Posted at: 4/26/2007 at 12:08 PM by saravana

After seeing couple of errors that's being raised in the news groups, I thought this is the right time to materialise it. If you have come across any strange errors and willing to share please let me know via my contact page. ==============================================================... [More]

4/25/2007 BizTalk Services. How does Identity Service and Connectivity service fit together.

Posted at: 4/25/2007 at 6:58 PM by saravana
From my understanding of BizTalk Services (Identity, Connectivity, ServiceBus, and Workflow) so far, the word BizTalk doesn't really mean much(at least at the moment, with currently live Identity and Connectivity (aka Relay) services). May be it will make sense once  ServiceBus is live. There is nothing offensive here.It makes sense more on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) front rather than BizTalk. What is Identity Service? Identity servi... [More]

Posted at: 4/24/2007 at 9:46 AM by saravana

Software as a service (Saas) is an application delivery model where vendors develop applications and hosts and operates the application for use by its customers over the internet.

4/19/2007 Can you use Dynamic Send Port without Orchestration? Yes you can.

Posted at: 4/19/2007 at 8:59 PM by saravana

May be based on certain content in your message you need to make that decision at runtime to pick up the transport adapter. The below figure shows the configuration for a Dynamic One-Way Send port, you can see you only specify the Name and Pipeline details (you can specify some of the other properties like maps, filters, etc). ...
