Firing up Win2012 Server for the first time you might notice that you can do a
’net use * http://mywebsite/docs
’>
Which is a classic thing we do in SharePoint or other WebDAV enabled Servers.
After spending far too long on this issue the secret is to make sure the Desktop
Experience feature is installed.
On 2012 here’s the way to do it – http://www.win2012workstation.com/desktop-experience/
2 hours I’ll never get back

Monitoring is essential to keep your BizTalk environments healthy and running smoothly. With monitoring you have a couple of options. Either using System Center Operation Manager, a combination of SCOM and third party tooling or solely use third party tooling.
1. Monitoring the BizTalk environment with SCOM can be done with using the management pack for BizTalk Server or AVIcode .NET Application Management Pack.
2. An alternative monitoring solution is BizTalk360, which you can combine with using SCOM. This means you can have best of both worlds.
3. In case your enterprise does not have SCOM or is planning to deploy SCOM, BizTalk360 itself can be an excellent choice for monitoring BizTalk environments.
To efficiently monitor a BizTalk environment people with different roles are involved like:
%u00b7 System Administrator,
%u00b7 Database Administrator and
%u00b7 BizTalk Administrator.
Each has different needs for information to be able to resolve or prevent issues. BizTalk360 can aid in full filling the needs for a BizTalk administrator as it will give him/her the fine grained detail of the environment and in-depth information. Besides that it has many capabilities onboard that SCOM lacks. For instance fine grained governance, throttling analyzer, Message Box Viewer Reports and Graphical Message View. The productivity of a BizTalk administrator can be dramatically enhanced using BizTalk360. BizTalk360 is provided by Kovia ltd and about to release the fifth release. The new capabilities are:
Monitoring Dashboard
Backup – Disaster Recovery configuration visualizer
Process monitoring for receive locations and send ports (aka silence/inactivity monitoring)
HP Operation Manager Integration
Support for Message Box Viewer (MBV) 12
Run MBV anytime directly from UI
New Event Viewer notification channel Disable individual alerts
Performance Improvements
Better applications loading time
Improved Environment/Platform setting dashboard loading time
Improved monitoring service performance
The new capabilities and improvements represent another cycle of evolution this product is going under. Which means that it continues to grow to a fully-fledged product with an outstanding set of capabilities for monitoring your BizTalk environment. BizTalk360 supports BizTalk versions 2006 and up. You can download the BizTalk360 version 5 Beta now and try it yourself on your local or test BizTalk environment.

I like to share a website I frequently use to format any code (C#, XML or T-SQL) to HTML for using on my blog. Other possibilities are to format VB, HTML or msh, but I haven’t used these myself yet.
You can also add things like line numbers, or use alternating backgrounds. And to modify the colors of the output, you’ll just need to change the css style sheet.
Also because everytime I need it, I’ll have to search the website again on google. So this way I’ll save some time for me too :).

It isn’t that hard to create a flat file from XML file, but I had a bit of trouble to find out how to create a header line with the column names, so I thought I would write a short blog post to describe this.
The following steps are needed:
- Take a copy of your flat file schema. Remember to change the file name and type name of the schema
- Open the new schema and change the name of your root element or your target namespace. Otherwise you will get an error that BizTalk can’t find your schema as it might not have been added to the GAC. The reason for this error is that BizTalk needs a unique combination of target namespace and root element.
- For each element in your schema you have to set a default value (the name of the column) and it needed change the datatype of the element to string.
- In the send pipeline flat file assembler component you have to point this new schema that you have created.
- This should be it. Of cause you need to deploy, restart and so on, but you know this 😉
Now you have a flat file with header column names as some systems like.
