A quick check in Windows Explorer reveals a windows.old directory which contains all of my old Windows 7 [...] Blog Post by: Nick Heppleston

It has been fun discovering Service Bus Notifications. I have received some good feedback over Twitter recently and have also shown my demo to some colleagues over the past week with some great responses.

I will warn you in advance that this post will be fairly lengthy so buckle up. If you find the walkthrough too long, be sure to check the video at the end of the post that...

In BizTalk360 you can setup monitoring in two different modes, either to receive regular periodic updates about the health of the system or updates based on threshold violations.

I have installed windows 8.... I installed the enterprise edition, as I wanted all the good stuff and I had a single key allocated to me for this. It was a lot more difficult than I would have thought to get it installed and running. I am up and running... It works, it is not windows 7.... It is different as is most new major releases of windows, if you look back over time..... Get used to it. If you have touch, great, if you want to use the old desktop apps, even better, they all work... Get used...

Problem When defining a file mask for a specific extension for a file receive location on BizTalk, there’s a difference in which files will be processed depending on the installed OS.

Last year I wrote an article that expressed the importance of developing not only desktop solutions but mobile ones as well.  Since then it has become increasingly important to present not only to a desktop market, but to a mobile one as well. That said, this article isn’t about convincing you to move to a desktop-mobile [...] Blog Post by: Karl Schwirz

While setting up a new SharePoint solution one of the requirements was to embed a Yammer Feed. So I followed the help document only to have an unusual situation: 1) the feed wouldnt render in browse mode. 2) the feed WOULD render in Edit Mode. The key to the situation was to declare a little more on the sample script Yammer gave – adding ‘text/javascript’ Here’s the working script – (one for the bat –utility belt) *tested from Win8, Firefox * <script data-app-id='hyB2pTvrL36Y50py8EWj6A'...

A few weeks ago I presented at the London BizTalk Summit 2013. During this event I met a few BizTalk professionals face to face, which I interviewed in the past for these community series.

Benefit of exposing the service or at least an endpoint (as a listener) in Windows Azure that you do need to open

In an environment where Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit is deployed, a BizTalk receive location responsible for receiving ESB-destined messages is referred to as an "on-ramp." In the receive location you have to use one of the pipelines provided as part of the toolkit, and then correctly configure the components of that pipeline to determine the itinerary and link it to the message. So you can use almost any location outside BizTalk as an on-ramp but what if you want to pick up a message...
