A new BizTalk HotRod is published. You can find the pdf here.
Again some nice articles, specially about Xslt. When I can’t use the standard functoids, then I also use Validate on the map to get a basic Xslt page. This one I add to the mapper and customize it further.
Pay some extra attention to the Terminator. A nice tool which can be received on request.
And also a great article on FxCop and BizTalkCop!!!
I added all the HL7 v3.0 schemas to a BizTalk Server project as-is. When I try to build this project, I run into the next problem:
This schema is an invalid XSD Schema and has the following error(s):
1. Type ‘urn:hl7-org:v3:cs’ is not declared, or is not a simple type.
2. Type ‘urn:hl7-org:v3:cs’ is not declared, or is not a simple type.
3. Type ‘urn:hl7-org:v3:cs’ is not declared, or is not a simple type.
4. Type ‘urn:hl7-org:v3:cs’ is not declared, or is not a simple type.
5. Type ‘urn:hl7-org:v3:cs’ is not declared, or is not a simple type.
etc…
With some help from Nictiz it seems that voc.xsd needs a reference to datatypes.xsd.So:
<xs:include schemaLocation="datatypes.xsd"/>
After adding this line, these errors were gone. I ran into some other reference errors. I’ll blog about this in the near future, so stay tuned…
I installed BizTalk Server 2009 and all of its features (UDDI, RFID, etc) on my test machine. The setup runs smoothly as expected.
Just one question: where is the final release of the ESB Guidance 2.0?
On a Dutch event (Application Platform in March) Microsoft announced that it would be part of BizTalk Server 2009. I think it will stay a Codeplex product, so Microsoft doesn’t have to give ‘support’ on it. The last months I was playing with the ESB and my experience is that it is still not finished. I had too many problems (see earlier posts). I hope the final ESB Guidance will be released soon, as mentioned on http://www.codeplex.com/esb (coincide with BizTalk 2009 release)
But still: BizTalk Server and the ESB are great and advanced products to work with.
Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 is available for download on the MSDN Subscribers downloads. The CD/DVD version will probably follow begin may.
