During the last few years, UDDI has been at the center of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Governance platforms. Specifically, UDDI has been the main mechanism used to implement service registry and repositories which we all know are the fundamental…(read more)
For those of you who are using the multiple schema to split your claims up into individual messages, you might have come across the performance degradation issue with having those messages come into the message box.
This functionality worked fine using the Covast HIPAA Accelerator, but seemed to be a huge issue when migrating to R2.
This is the cause that Microsoft states:
The splitting behavior results in XML files that include not only the sub-document that you want, but also empty XML markup for all sibling sub-documents. Although the sibling sub-documents do not contain data, the behavior results in bloated output XML files and other inefficiencies that make processing very large EDI batches impossible.
I think it is interesting that something is impossible – wow!
To make the impossible possible again, you need to install hot fix 967945, you can download it in the View and request hotfix downloads link.

I came across the worst example of visual studio source control integration ever today. I was checking in some work and added the comment about the check in in the pending checkins box. I then pressed check in.
We use MKS source control (unfortunately)which then preceeded to display 75 confirmation boxes confirming that I was sure i wanted to check in and that I wanted to use the comment I had supplied in Visual Studio.
Note to anyone doing Visual Studio source control integration:
1. Integration into visual studio means that as a developer I dont really want to know much if anything about the source control system under the hood
2. Yes means yes. When I confirm that I want to check in dont ask me over and over again.

My boss’s boss asked if our architecture team could put together a list of what technologies and concepts typically comprise a service oriented architecture, so I compiled a collection of items and organized them by category. I then evaluated whether we had such a technology in house, and if so, did we actively use it. […]
I’m late posting this, but I will be presenting at TechEd again, this time along with Syed Rasheed of the product team. This presentation will be focused on the almost-released new version 2.0 ESB Guidance from Microsoft’s Patterns and Practices group.
I’m working on some cool new demos for this session, should be fun!
TechEd is always a great conference, and usually sells out. To register, click the image below.

As organizations look to Service Oriented Architectures to help them deliver flexible, agile and responsive IT environments, the Enterprise Service Bus has emerged as a key architectural pattern to help achieve this goal.
