Hi all

Frequently I get emails from people looking for my help with some BizTalk challenge they are facing. Some times I just get a zipped version of a project containing schemas and other artifacts that don’t even have anything to do with the issue – it was just easier to send the entire thing and hope that I can figure it all out.

So here comes a plea from me to all you people looking for help: Please, when you send someone an email asking for help, prepare an SSCCE (See more here: http://sscce.org/).

I have plenty of things to look at, so if you take the time to prepare an SSCCE the chances of me helping you increases by a multitude of 10 :-)

Thanks!

Hi all

I am just playing around with the new mapper in BizTalk 2010 beta (get it here).

I am happy to announce that the restrictions form the old versions of BizTalk regarding placement of functoids that have the output from other functoids as input has been removed.

In the “old” days (pre-BizTalk 2010 beta), you would have some of the mapper grid marked as inaccessible when you dragged a functoid that has the output form another functoid as input like this:

With BizTalk 2010 Beta you can place the functoids were you like. All links have a small arrow on them indicating the flow of information and you can therefore have a setup like this:

Very nice and more flexible, I think.
