In evaluating different systems integration strategies, I've come across some words of encouragement, but also some words of frustration over BizTalk Server. What are some pros and cons to using BizTalk Server (both from a developer standpoint and a business user), and should companies also consider open source alternatives? What viable alternatives are out there? EDIT: Jitterbit seems like an interesting choice. Open Source and seems to be nicely engineered. Anyone on here have any experience working with it? Erik Westermann BizTalk Server's key benefit is that it provides a lot of 'plumbing'

I created a simple interface that send an email. I have set the filename by msg_out_renamed(MIME.FileName) = FileName; This works fine in my outlook 2013, it shows as "client_inv_20160909090658.csv" . But the receipient who uses Outlook 2016 has it show up as " body.csv ". When he decides to save the attachment the filename in the save as dialog is "client_inv_20160909090658.csv" . Why does this happen and is there a way i can prevent this from happening? Change the context property MIME.FileName for the part of your attachment as well. In an orchestration: (note the ".part" code) Message.part

We are trying to call a one way PeopleSoft service that does not return any response from BizTalk 2010 with WCF-BasicHttp binding and one-way send port. We are getting the following error. System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error. I have read several articles regarding this issue. This one says due to reliable delivery feature one way messages are not supported by BizTalk social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/biztalkgeneral/thread/3a55a044

I have an xml document with a node that may optionally contain a string of escaped xml. I'd like to be able to transform that content using xsl in a BizTalk map. Any suggestion how? I've tried: msxsl:node-set(string). This creates a nameless single node with no content. The document() function using a url prefix of 'data:text/xml' as suggested by helderdarocha here . for-each selecting the text() of the node containing the string using xpath() in an orchestration to extract the string then make a multipart message. It won't let me use an xmlDocument message as one of the messages in a

We're doing a mapping process from an XML file generated by a legacy system to EDI 834/837 files. We have BizTalk 2010 and are using the Microsoft built in EDI schemas. The EDI files are fairly complex, and the XML file we are getting is also complex, with a lot of pieces bolted on. I started going through the mapping tool, but it seemed like there was a lot of repitition that I could eliminate by running the XML file through an XSLT. I found the following link, but I'm not happy with just one source. http://blog.eliasen.dk/2009/07/08

I'm creating an email with a MIME attachment from a BizTalk 2016 SMTP Send Port. However, I think any knowledge that anyone can share from any other language about the oddities of Outlook and MIME might help me fix the issue below. In Outlook, the attachment shows as body.txt, but when I click "File Save" it shows the name that I used when I created it (and that's what the user wants to see). What I'm referring to is the the left side where it says "body.txt" above the 5k and to the right of the attachment icon in the screen shot below: In BizTalk C# Pipeline component, that attachment was set

I am writing a biztalk orchestration that will need to call a web service, probably multiple web services, and probably more than once. I see two options before me; one, consume the wsdl in a separate code project, and call the web services from code in an expression shape, and two, consume it from Biz, get schemas, etc and call through request/response ports. What is the best practice here? On the one hand, if the wsdl is updated it will be easier to update the code than the schemas and ports, and it seems like a lot of clutter and work to build ports enough for multiple web service calls.

What are some good articles/ resources to understand how load balancing is configured with Biztalk --- both in terms of inherent abilities of the product as well as employing NLB (network load balancing with Windows 2003 or later editions)? EDIT: I am specifically interested in the impact of application protocol on load balancing? For example, how two instances of Biztalk server handle TCP/IP connections when the other party (to which Biztalk makes a connection request) doesn't allow more than one connection, etc. The obvious resource is MSDN - There is a section entitled Planning for High
