Today I faced a new challenge with BizTalk Server, where I needed to add a namespace to an incoming message. Through Google I found an excellent post by Richard Seroter. If you had installed the BizTalk Adapters for Enterprise Applications, you’d find a Visual Studio.NET project located at:C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Adapters for Enterprise Applications\Pipeline Component.For me this is

Posted on 09:12 by Unknown
Coming Wednesday I have another discussion with a couple of architects of Inter Access (my company) about SOA. We will discuss the principles of SOA.

Working with BizTalk Adapters for Enterprise Applications on Windows 2003 R2 64-bit
Posted on 02:47 by Unknown
Yesterday I was configuring a BizTalk production environment for a customer which involved the BizTalk Enterprise Adapters. In a previous post I mentioned how to set up an environment where one can integrate between Oracle eBusiness Suite and BizTalk. This environment was 32-bit and now I was facing 64-bit. This is a bit different in a way of configuring, so I did some googeling and found a very

Integration Challenge: BizTalk Functoid Blues
Posted on 10:05 by Unknown
Recently I was facing an integration challenge by creating a custom functiod to use in a mapping. How do I create a custom functiod? Well one can look at a sample on a machine, where a BizTalk instance is present (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\SDK\Samples\XmlTools\CustomFunctoid). Important is to import the BizTalk assembly: Microsoft.BizTalk.BaseFunctoids. This one can
