What do you want to see at TechEd?

  • Artículo

Driven from your feedback last year there is a single connected systems infrastructure track including all the web services and integration stuff.

I suppose you won't mind seeing BizTalk Server 2006 and we will see if we can oblige that request depending on how far along we are with BizTalk Server 2006 at TechEd.

How about topics related to BizTalk Server 2004. What would you like to see? Please comment on this thread to help us plan.

    One of the big issues I found as a developer with Biztalk was the installation of the whole thing along with its gazillion prerequisites. It was a frustrating experience. Can you make this any easier please, atleast for your 2006 version. Just to give you an idea, I downloaded Oracle's BPEL and it was a breeze getting the product to work.

    Some sessions about the Integration Patterns and the worked out examples you discussed in your previous post would be welcome.

    Human Workflows (Issues, Patterns, EAI) especially with regard to specific domains. For instance I have worked in the Telecom industry and the provisioning process has an elaborate Human Workflow process involved.

    I would like some more light on the following

    1. HWS: I have had a hard time with, the only source of information for this is Christof Claessens example and the article alog with it.

    2. CSF: I have heard about this framework/product being developed by microsoft based on SOA. As a BizTalk developer I have faced questions on it but have not been able to find too many answers. If the teched could throw light on this and any such products Microsoft is coming up with, it would give a better roadmap picture for BizTalk as a technology.

    3. Highlight the good work done by the bloggers for BizTalk. I think they really deserve a word appreciation from the product team. They have in most cases filled the gaps left by the product documentation.

  • Designing/Developing a Document State based workflow (e.g. Based on HWS or the like). Various documents travel through BTS and change state (e.g. draft, review, declined etc) and require user interactions along the way - e.g. to approve, comment on etc.<br><br>This scenario is very common for a series of different 'forms' - such as Company Travel Requests, Purchase Requests, Provisioning Requests.<br><br>All documents will go through the 'process' and go through one or more 'states' before being complete (finally stored in a WSS Document Library for e.g.)<br><br>Based on Rules stored in the rules engine.<br><br>Would be great to see if poss.<br>

    HWS seems to be the biggest puzzle of all times. It promises a lot.. but extremely difficult to sell. Any sessions on explaining the actual implementation of HWS would be useful.. we have done the famous lab 12 n times.. but to extend it to any scenario is one big task. An HWS session may be covering following points would be divine :-)

    WHY to use HWS ?
    WHEN to use HWS ?
    When NOT to use HWS ?
    Advantages of using HWS
    Disadvantages of using HWS?

    Also if we can have a session on comparing BizTalk with other products(webM, TIBCO etc) on feature basis( tools, processes,patterns, ROI etc) it would be super...

    I really miss some best practices on how to use BizTalk in th enterprise! All discussions concern the technical properties of the different things in BizTalk. But I never see anything about how to organize the orchestrations, how to organize schemas, how to partiotion projects and solutions.

    I need to see some case studies.

    Thanks

    I think we need to see how to progmmatically get at the BTS API from .NET.

    For e.g. you might have 3 'controller type' orchestrations and how can you ensure that 3 instances of them are running (or in a state other than suspended(not resumable).

    So being able to enumerate orchestrations, start an orch. up and send a message to it thru the API.

    Also - a great example of a scheduled type process, that kicks off at for e.g. 12am, to do some background processing etc.

    Superb - if we can!

    We would like to see a solid solution for dereferencing idrefs in the mapper.
