Microsoft published SP1 for BizTalk Server 2006 R2. You can find it here.
From the Microsoft site:
Better reliability, performance, and scale for the following key features:
- Throttling and dehydration of orchestrations.
- Archiving and purging operations.
- BAM alerts and archiving.
- HIPAA.
- Reduced memory consumption in scenarios using scripting functoids.
- Improvement in the bts_FindSubscription stored proc, resulting in faster execution and lower CPU utilization.
Better management and deployment experiences:
- Performance and user experience improvements of key scenarios.
- WCF configuration management.
- Significant improvement in deployment time for send ports using a map.
Improved support:
- X12 and EDIFACT updates.
- Increased footprint of supported FTP servers and locale.
- XMLDocument message types in orchestrations.
- Configurable timeout for Basic HTTP.
- WCF adaptor now suspends messages instead of terminating when the host instance is stopped.
- Configurable transaction timeout for WCF Adaptors.
- Mapping of inline schema for SQL Adaptor now allows for using $ characters as part of the updategram.
- The SQL Adaptor now supports calling from a BizTalk Server dynamic send port. The following properties can be set on the call to the dynamic port:
Connection string (all the SQL connection properties)
Document Target Namespace
Response Document Root Element
- Ability to disable generation of Routing Failure Report.
- Fixes to some issues that used to cause high CPU usage by BizTalk Server hosts due to certain .NET updates.
- Ability to use multiple certificates for signing outbound messages.
- Message Pack 2009.
- Message property tracking with BAM for all messages in the interchange, irrespective of the usage of pipeline or mapping.
- Integrated tracing to help in debugging EDI specific issues. This improvement is aimed at reducing the time taken for diagnosing and isolating an EDI problem.
New Features:
- For WCF-Custom and WCF-CustomIsolated Adapters, the ability to look up custom bindings from locations other than machine.config.
- Support for using multiple certificates to sign outgoing AS2 messages.

We received this message. It was clear it had to do something with the SOAP call and the message type was not set. This can have several reasons: schemas not deployed correctly, target namespace wrong, root name wrong, etc. The SOAP adapter must be able to find the corresponding schema for serializing. In our case we forgot to enter the proxy assembly, type name and the method to use (created a new two-way send port instead of a one-way send port). This proxy assembly holds knowledge on the schema to use.
Error message:

Proxy configuration:
Question raised on my site: does BizTalk hold history/information on changed configuration items with a timestamp and user?
Or must we dive in the SQL logs, or must we capture it our self? (didn’t do any investigation on this part)

Brian Loesgen created a great demo on the Azure platform AppFabric Service Bus. This demo showed also some features (combinations) of Business Rule Engine, ESB Toolkit, InfoPath and SharePoint.
You can find the video here.
