I got a message in linkedin the other day, for the hackerx ‘back-end developer’ event. Never been to this kind of ‘speed dating’ style of social event myself, so I take the time to attend. It turns out to be..’fun’, around 20 companies, mostly startup, I basically follow the flow talking to each one of…

At my work, we had several stream of development servers, each with a BizTalk 2013 in the middle tier processing business transactions. Yesterday one region messed up, give me that ‘failed to enable constraint error’, have googled a bit no news so have to reconfigure it. Then it becomes interesting, our SQL and BizTalk deployed…

So I am working on a vm that was built from Azure gallery BizTalk 2013 R2 developer for 2 weeks, suddenly got this message today Microsoft, are you kidding me?? now I have to download the software from MSDN, re-configure the BizTalk and redeploy my interfaces.. time well spent! Why do you do this Microsoft!!

I was troubleshooting the CPU bottleneck of the production server, didn’t see the process perf counters, it turns out this has to be updated ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PerfProc\Performance\Disable Performance Counters’ change this from 1 to 0 works like a maze.

A typical BizTalk best practice is always to develop each interface under its own solution and dedicated BizTalk application. This also aligns to what BTDF (BizTalk deployment framework) built on.

Some tweaks to apply under heavy load to the HL7 adapter Create the registry key MLLPSendFlushTimeout Create new registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Accelerator for HL7/Version 2.0 with following details: Name : MLLPSendFlushTimeout Value : 0 Set MaxReceiveInterval to 50 ms Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Expand Databases node and select BizTalkMgmtDb database. Expand Tables…

The healthcare project I am in requires a one way send port for acknoledgement handling, it in turn requires a one way receive port to pre-exisit for deployment. So when using the deployment framework, I cannot put together the send port and receive port together in one file. Even worse, the receive port has to…

If you are like me looking at Microsoft documentation thinking you can just use BizTalk server to connect to a load balanced SAP via message server, you are wrong. It turns out even for this scenario (type B) BizTalk still needs a gateway service and a gateway host. Not a SAP guy at first place,…
