We are going to repeat the same statement "New release every 4-5 months once". Our last release (v5.0) was back in 10th October (Release history). Once the product gets matured and start addressing the pain points then the users (customers, prospects, community members) drive the growth of the product. Whenever we give a presentation/demo we [...] The post What’s new in BizTalk360 v6.0? appeared first on BizTalk360 Blog . Blog Post by: Saravana Kumar

Authentication on an SFTP location can be done with simple username/password credentials… However another way to authenticate the sender is by using a Key Authentication file. But how can this last authentication method be used inside the BizTalk SFTP adapter? the BizTalk SFTP adapter we used to achieve this is the freely available SFTP adapter on Codeplex . Just download the adapter and install it. And don’t forget to add the adapter in the BizTalk admin console of course. Now then let’s set up...

Whipping up a BizUnit test step using the BizUnit 4.0 libraries is a piece of cake, but chances are that any test step you write is going to be used multiple times throughout the life of a project and in ways you can’t predict and you will want to spend the extra effort when developing [...] Blog Post by: Johann

Many of my fellow Integration MVP’s are active within the BizTalk community. This also accounts for some of my colleagues at motion10. There are more companies in the world that have a number of their professionals active within communities. The beginning of this year I interviewed Mark Brimble from Datacom. He is not the only Datacom professional that is active within the BizTalk community. His

So for everyone working within [...] Blog Post by: Tord Glad Nordahl

In a previous post I explained how we had a need to use the WS-Addressing To header to send a non-http prefixed URI, such as urn:company/path/subpath/Service1, and how that was supported, after a fashion, out of the box in BizTalk Server. It did however come with the limitation of not being able to edit the WCF config in the BizTalk Server Administration Console GUI once you loaded it from a binding file. I don’t like limitations. In this post I’ll show you how you can create a very simple WCF behavior...

Through WS-Addressing services can require a certain value in the ws-addressing < wsa:to > SOAP header. WCF has full support for this. This support is inherited by the WCF-Adapters . When using WS-addressing in a BizTalk Server Send Port what you enter in the “Address (URI)” of the WCF adapters configuration will also be the value that ends up in the <to> header. Like so:   This will produce the following. Other headers and body removed for clarity. < s:Envelope xmlns:s ="http...

“Ding ding” after spending 4 rounds(hours) in the ring with this guy, I’m taking the gloves off and heading for the showers and salts. I’m in the middle of some BizTalk work (which is nice for a change) and I’m ticking my tasks off. I’ve got a REST receive port exposed from BizTalk via IIS and published through the WCF Publishing Wizard. (there’s Operations mappings and extracting variables from the URL to Context Properties under the Configure – omitted for brevity) Couple of shots of the WCF Service...

Today, Microsoft made a number of nice updates to their Visual Studio tools and templates. On thing pointed out in Scott Hanselman’s blog post about it (and Scott Guthrie’s post as well), was the update that lets developers publish ASP.NET Web Site projects to WIndows Azure Web Sites. Given that I haven’t messed around with [...] Blog Post by: Richard Seroter

Sometimes I wonder where the time flies. I only have one week left of work when I get home from the MVP Summit this week, and I have 16 weeks paternity leave to stay home with my son.
