It is there!

Another indication on the BizTalk 2010 release date?

22 September 2010

You can find a number of rumours and indications on the internet on the RTM date of BizTalk 2010.

Today I found another one:

Seems like we will have to wait a couple of weeks more Sad smile. Or maybe it will be available sooner on MSDN subscriptions? Who tells?


Do you know this BizTalk Admin Console feature?

16 September 2010

This is probably not my most ‘appealing’ post but I thought I mention it anyway. I recently discovered the ‘Hide property schemas’ feature in the BizTalk Administration Console.

You can right click in the schema view and select ‘Hide property schemas’. It is obvious that after enabling it, the deployed property schemas are hidden from the view and you get an overview of only the ‘regular’ schemas.

I was not really shocked by this feature. To be honest I think it is not really useful (at least not for me). I was more fascinated by the fact that it appears there are still features I don’t know in the console while I work with it every day.

Did you know this feature? For readers that did not and who think it is not useless, see the screenshots below.

In BizTalk 2006 R2 Admin Console:

In BizTalk 2009 Admin Console:

In BizTalk 2010 (beta) Admin Console:

In BizTalk 2010 the Admin console now has a action pane which makes the feature more visible.

Anyone other “obscure” features that are not generally known?


Windows Server AppFabric CAT blog

16 September 2010

This post is for everyone reading my blog but not Yossi’s blog, Richard’s blog, Dan’s blog, or Steef-Jan’s blog. (I know, very small chance Smile).

The AppFabric Customer Advisory Team (CAT) (formerly known as BizTalk Rangers) opened a new blog. Their focus is not just on BizTalk Server but now also on Windows Server AppFabric, WCF, WF, AppFabric Caching and StreamInsight (CEP), etc.

Besides the mentioned blog there is also a CAT site. This contains information on other CATs as well. For a full description of the teams and all the relevant url’s see Richard’s post.

Very interesting stuff written by great experts; worth reading!
