This article supplements an earlier article, posted a couple of weeks ago (http://geekswithblogs.net/cyoung/articles/90102.aspx), on issues concerning the use of XPaths to map between the hierarchical data structure of an XML document and the relational view of ‘facts’ in the Microsoft Business Rules Engine. As I suggested in the introduction to that article, I have repeatedly been asked to troubleshoot MS BRE issues which turn out to be related to the use of XPaths. Earlier this week, I received another request for help. The symptoms and solution to the problem are worth recording because they provide greater insight into this topic.

In setting up the InfoPath forms Server, I successfully installed the SharePoint services application. I then installed and started to configure the InfoPath forms server.

After scanning it over, I found severaltopicsthat are still missing. I guess that’s OK as […]

As you might know, on TechNet BizTalk’s theme for September is performance.
There are many great whitepapers published including Managing a successful performance lab with BizTalk Server 2006 and Get help deploying BizTalk Server with the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA).
Another great publication is BizTalk Server 2006 Comparative Adapter Study. This document describes the results of a comparative adapter study-a set of tests that compared each adapter that ships with Microsoft%u00ae BizTalk%u00ae Server 2006 against its BizTalk Server 2004 SP1 counterpart under identical conditions.
Enjoy!

The BizTalk "Docs" team has just published the BizTalk Server 2006 Troubleshooting Guide and it is one huge, value packed document! I've just spent the past hour pouring over a few sections and this is the best development and troubleshooting guide I've seen MSFT publish. Every "Docs" team should write on of these!
If you're a serious BizTalk developer, drop whatever you're currently working on and download this guide. Print out the entire 133 pages and spend a few hours going through it section by section. Then open up your last BizTalk solution and see how well your development efforts followed the recommendations in the guide. I gave myself an "A-" for effort but only a "B-" for results. I guess I still have more to learn, even after seven years of developing BizTalk solutions.

If you are working with BizTalk it is good to now how publishing schemas BizTalk Web Service Publishing Wizard modifies them (because it generates .NET classes first and then generates schemas from those classes)

My man Luke posted that the
BizTalk Developer’s Troubleshooting Guide has been posted online.
I just read through the whole thing, and let me tell you, this is without a doubt the single most useful document to a regular BizTalk developer.
This is EXACTLY the sort of guidance that architects and developers need. It starts off with some general “best practices” that may feel like common sense, but then we get to the good stuff. Topics such as
using TraceLog for capturing operational data, specific strategies for debugging major adapters (EDI, FILE, FTP, HTTP, SOAP, Peoplesoft, SQL, MSMQ, etc),
covers BAM debugging, map and schema troubleshooting, almost 40 pages on debugging orchestrations, web service debugging, and more. And this
isn’t just the basic “is your receive port turned on” sort of stuff, but provides things like trace flags for debugging deadlocks in
SQL 2005. Come on, that’s good stuff.
Seriously, stop reading this post, and download this.
