My colleagues are attempting to connect BizTalk 2006 R2 via DB2/MVS adapter to a database hosted on z/OS mainframe. When testing the connecting settings, they are getting the following error Could not connect to data source 'New Data Source': The network connection was terminated because the host failed to send any data.

We use QuickBooks for financial management, and feed it from a variety of sources. I now need to hook it up to BizTalk, and I'd hate to reinvent the wheel. I've done searches, and as far as I can tell there's no QuickBooks adapter for BizTalk. Does anyone know of anything that'll do the job, preferably something that doesn't suck? ...
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 viabl...
How can I call a BizTalk Orchestration dynamically knowing the Orchestration name? The call Orchestration shapes need to know the name and parameters of Orchestrations at design time. I've tried using 'call' XLang keyword but it also required Orchestration name as Design Time like in expression shape, we can write as call BizTalkAppli...
We have an intranet system that schedules routine tasks. We also have Fogbugz for bug tracking. When an urgent bug comes in, we track that task in the bugtracker. However, I need to write back to both the Intranet and our CMS. I'm thinking Biztalk as the middle piece, but am not sure the best way to go about it. Database adapter? Web ser...

Hi, What is a .snk file for? I know it stands for Strongly Named Key, but all explanations of what it is and how it works goes over my head. Is there any simple explanation on how a strongly named key is used and how it works? I'm using this in BizTalk server. ...
At my last place of employment, I used BTS quite a bit. However, I've noticed that managers often want to use it for the wrong things, and developers are hesitant to adopt it. So, I'm just wondering, how's BTS being used? Please post experiences, not theories. Thanks! ...
A single Biztalk Server can have multiple Host processes. Is it possible to create an application config file for each host process? For example I would like to use Unity or log4net or whatever which needs such a configuration file. Edit: Thanks at David Hall. To elaborate a bit more: We have 12 Biztalk Servers in a group each running b...
I would like to know at runtime in which of several possible host processes my current code is executing. The host processes have configured names at the Biztalk management level, but I need to know which process I'm in from inside the code. I didn't find any supported way to do this and I'm even stuck with the search for an unsupporte...
We are currently using BizTalk 2006 R2 to build Enterprise Integration solutions. We use BizTalk maps extensively, but when you build a solution in Visual Studio 2005, it produces the following warning against maps: Warning Double-click here to show/hide compiler links. In my opinion, these are not real warnings and can be ignored, bu...
Hi, I need to add a "xml:lang" attribute on the root xml node in the outbound doument from Biztalk. This is a fixed value, so it may be set in the schema or something.

Hi, I am using Oracle adapter from the BizTalk Adapter Pack (WCF based for BTS 2006 R2). In the configuration of the "solicit-response" send ports, I have used Oracle's username and password to connect to the database. Now I would like to change that and use the SSO. So far I have created the Affiliate application and mapped the BTS Ho...
I'm trying to figure out how to consume a WCF service in BizTalk 2006 R2 (sending a request and receiving a response). I've gotten as far as going through the "Add Generated Items" wizard. Now I am trying to find out how to use the items it generated in an orchestration. I'm a beginner at BizTalk and don't have the experience to infer...

Howdy, I am writing a C# console application that takes a binary file, rips it apart, analyzes it, and stores the data into a database. We want to use BizTalk to orchestrate watching when a new binary file is placed in a directory and calling my application with the file name/names to be parsed. Can BizTalk run a command line pr...
