It's a common problem everywhere. Data arrives at your doorstep in all sorts of formats, typically initiating some sort of customer service, order fulfillment, or other business process. Often the data arrives in an e-mail message accompanied by other documents. Once the e-mail is received, an automated reply must be sent and the e-mail must be saved to a database or to a line-of-business (LOB) application. Depending on the kind of data received, different e-mail notifications may be needed....

The potential of the service-oriented enterprise is huge. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) will simplify the building, managing, and maintaining of distributed systems, in part because the technologies you will use to build these new systems are standards-based, thanks to the collaborative efforts of companies like IBM BEA, and Microsoft. Working together has enabled them to establish many Web services specifications, including WS-Security, WS-Addressing, and WS-Policy....

Once, just half a day before a proof-of-concept with a major client, Marty was handed a complex BizTalk® solution to fix. The main component was an orchestration that integrated several back-end systems, making multiple calls out to each. The Orchestration Designer screen he was staring at consisted of mostly black lines connecting dozens of Receive and Send shapes to over 40 inbound and outbound ports—a nearly impossible design to debug. His solution: start over using Multi-Part Message Types a...

XML support in SQL Server lives up to the hype that's always surrounded XML. Using SQL Server 2000, you can send queries over HTTP, save XML records to the database, and retrieve records via XML. This article shows how you can take advantage of these features in SQL Server 2000 by building a database entry system that keeps track of sales and customer information. The sample app presented here uses updategrams to make the database updates. To accomplish this, the mapping and usage of updategrams...

Who would have believed that XML, such a seemingly trivial technology, could revolutionize an industry? It may have seemed like a long shot in the beginning, but the XML aficionados saw something special and pragmatic right away—a sort of duct tape for the world's information systems. But not all developers felt this way. Some were disappointed by the lack of tool support that would bring XML to life....

In my last column, I provided a brief introduction to BizTalk® Server 2004 for XML developers (see Service Station: An XML Guru's Guide to BizTalk Server 2004, Part I). I covered the product evolution, core architecture, and several aspects of the underlying messaging layer, all of which have helped make BizTalk Server 2004 the powerful integration technology it is today. I wrapped up after introducing the various extensibility points offered by the messaging layer. These extensibility points ar...

Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) is a technology standard that has been around for decades. So mixing it with a modern service-oriented architecture (SOA) and the latest release of BizTalk® Server may seem an unlikely combination. Yet EDI encompasses the largest share of real-world business-to-business commerce—nearly 90 percent of the current market—and is growing rapidly year over year. As companies relying on EDI evolve their IT architectures, the capabilities of BizTalk Server 2006 R2 a...

This article will not go into the fine details on what DTS is; if you want to find out more details on DTS, see Microsoft site. When you execute the DTS package using the DTS editor via SQL Server Enterprise Manager, you get a nice dialog that shows the progress of each step...
