UDDI Best Practices

My organisation is getting into the SOA world (a bit late, but that's what it's like here!) and we're looking into the ESB Toolkit 2.0 (we already have BizTalk Server 2009). We're keen on implementing UDDI (specifically, the UDDI Services v3.0 that ships with BTS 2009), but we're low on actual UDDI experience. We want to manage the ever...

ESB Toolkit 2.0 - Is Anyone REALLY ACTUALLY Using It?

Hello We've made a big investment in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 and it works like a dream for all our asynchronous work.

BizTalk Map Incorrectly Parsing Input XML

BizTalk low latency - response time issue calling C# to WCF-Published-Orchestration

Calling a WCF published orchestration from a C# program usually is sub-second response time. However, on some occasions, it can take 20-50- seconds between the call in the C# program and the first trace message from the orchestration. The C# that runs calls the WCF runs under HIS/HIP (Host Integration Services/CICS Host-Initiated Proce...

Should we build web services using WCF if we know our customers like BizTalk?

Background... We've built a web-based b2b system. We know that we'll need to exchange data with our customers' existing systems. Our plan is to create web services to allow two-way access to data.
