If you're using a BizTalk solution for any X12N EDI transactions, how well has its support for 270/271, 276/277 etc. worked for 4010 and/or 5010?
I am trying to test recovery from a disaster, but feel the SSO part is like a Catch 22 situation. I cannot get it to work.
We have a DB cluster where SSO is also a clustered service, just like the documentation recommends.
I want to be able to recover from a DB/SSO cluster disaster. So the we have a third DB server for log shipping. On that server we also have a “waiting” SSO service to take over as Master. That SSO has joined the current one, but is not Master.
The problem is to make that server the backup server SSO Master.
We cannot run ssomanage -updatedb NewServer.xml if the old DB is down. We cannot ssoconfig -restoresecret secret.bak, since it is not the Master.
Has anyone done this and got it to work?
I've been given the job of setting up a Microsoft BizTalk staging server for our developers to test some integration for a client.
The catch is, I have no idea what BizTalk is, what it does, or what it is used for. Everything I can read about it on the Microsoft website is all just marketing fluff as far as I can tell, with lots of big enterprisey words (sentences like "BizTalk enables your organization to seamlessly integrate disparate systems and connect business partners")
Can anyone shed some light on what BizTalk actually does? Our developers don't know either, only that they have to integrate with it!
Are there any alternatives to IBM Websphere MQ Server for Windows? We need to access a remote Queue Manager that doesn't support client connections (only Queue Manager to Queue Manager).
I've noticed that there are some BizTalk Host Integration adapters but they only seem to behave as clients (one transactional, the other non-transactional).
I'm trying to install BizTalk Server 2009 on one of our servers. I am reading through the installation guide and I can't believe the Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 are listed in software requirements.
I'm new to BizTalk server and I am just wondering do I really need to install Excel & Visual Studio on a server before I can install BizTalk?
