What are the specific types of scenarios where we could use SSB and BizTalk in tandem?
I have come across a gotdotnet sample of an SSB adapter for BizTalk. As i understand a Biztalk orchestration could be an end point for the SSB conversation.
But what advantages can be obtained using this as compared to a typical SQL adapter for BizTalk which does CRUD operations on DB.
any pointers in this directions would be helpful
TIA

when one should use SSIS..different data sources,different destinations..etc...i hav never been in such a situation..i have been a developer..beside SSIS are there any MS tools?
thks
Does anyone have any good places where I can get some practice scenarios for DBA activity? Also any transact sql puzzles to solve for practice purposes. I want to get as much "real world" activity under my belt as possible in a quick time-frame.
Thanks.
Hello! Anybody know if can I use (and
how can I use) PMML with the rule engine of Biztalk Server, or if there
is some module that translate PMML format to Biztalk. Sorry by my
english.
I have done some performance testing to see if asynchronous triggers performs any better than synchronous triggers in a simple audit scenario -- capturing record snapshots at insert, update and delete events to a separate database within the same instance of SQL Server.
Synchronous triggers performed 50% better than asynchronous triggers; this was with conversation reuse and the receive queue activation turned off, so the poor performance was just in the act of forming and sending the message, not receiving and processing. This was not necessarily surprising to me, and yet I have to wonder under what conditions would we see real performance benefits for audit scenarios.
I am interested if anyone has done similar testing, and if they received similar or different results. If anyone had conditions where asynchronous triggers pulled ahead for audit scenarios, I would really like to hear back from them. I invite any comments or suggestions for better performance.
The asynchronous trigger:
Code Snippet
ALTER TRIGGER TR_CUSTOMER_INSERT ON DBO.CUSTOMER
FOR INSERT AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@CONVERSATION UNIQUEIDENTIFIER ,
@MESSAGE XML ,
@LOG_OPERATION CHAR(1) ,
@LOG_USER VARCHAR(35) ,
@LOG_DATE DATETIME;
SELECT TOP(1)
@CONVERSATION = CONVERSATION_HANDLE ,
@LOG_OPERATION = 'I' ,
@LOG_USER = USER() ,
@LOG_DATE = GETDATE()
FROM SYS.CONVERSATION_ENDPOINTS;
SET @MESSAGE =
( SELECT
CUST_ID = NEW.CUST_ID ,
CUST_DESCR = NEW.CUST_DESCR ,
CUST_ADDRESS = NEW.CUST_ADDRESS ,
LOG_OPERATION = @LOG_OPERATION ,
LOG_USER = @LOG_USER ,
LOG_DATE = @LOG_DATE
FROM INSERTED NEW
FOR XML AUTO );
SEND ON CONVERSATION @CONVERSATION
MESSAGE TYPE CUSTOMER_LOG_MESSAGE ( @MESSAGE );
END;
The synchronous trigger:
Code Snippet
ALTER TRIGGER TR_CUSTOMER_INSERT ON DBO.CUSTOMER
FOR INSERT AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
@LOG_OPERATION CHAR(1) ,
@LOG_USER VARCHAR(15) ,
@LOG_DATE DATETIME;
SELECT
@LOG_OPERATION = 'I' ,
@LOG_USER = USER() ,
@LOG_DATE = GETDATE()
INSERT INTO SALES_LOG.DBO.CUSTOMER
SELECT
CUST_ID = NEW.CUST_ID ,
CUST_DESCR = NEW.CUST_DESCR ,
CUST_ADDRESS = NEW.CUST_ADDRESS ,
LOG_OPERATION = @LOG_OPERATION ,
LOG_USER = @LOG_USER ,
LOG_DATE = @LOG_DATE
FROM INSERTED NEW
END;
Hello,
At our company we are considering building an architecture for file
imports and processing and considering both Biztalk and SSIS at this
time.
My understanding from reading the material out there regarding this
subject that Biztalk is more suited for integrating applications and
real time communication of information and SSIS is more suited for
bulk loads into databases/data warehouses and data manipulation.
Currently we are somewhat along the lines described above, but there
is a desire to use one technology over the other for importing files
and data manipulation, and I am not sure that is practical. Also
there is a debate currently as to whether Biztalk does better at
handling logic than SSIS.
I have read through the article on microsoft site that outlines the
above - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/biztalk/2004/whitepapers...
However, I would like to get some input from people who have actually
used both these tools in the real world for ETL process and could
provide some insight so as to help us make an informed decision.
Thanks

Hi,
I have installed SQLSERVER 2005 in Windows 2003 Server with mixed mode authentication.
Now I am unable to connect it from my windows Xp client system. When I specify the credentials the following error msg displays
"Specified Database cannot be reached Incorrect Server name or login. User may not be associated with trusted sqlserver connection"
My Server Config as follows
servername :vijay
login details:
sa;sa
In Biztalk server 2006, Cofiguration wizard I gave server name as "vijay"
and
username : sa ; pwd : sa;
Kindly help me in getting it right.
Thanks

Hi
Can anybody please tell me the basic differences between Biztalk and SSIS and when to choose which technology over other?

Hi
I am writing a package that i want to have email me on two possible success scenarios.
essentially, this is the conditions:
IF @result = 0
BEGIN
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @copyfile, NO_OUTPUT
PRINT 'Operation Successful'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('This operation failed. Error Code:01. The source and destination files are identical.', 0, 1)
END
If the first condition is met, I want to fire off an email stating success.
If the second condition is met (the RAISERROR) then i want to fire off a different email.
Now, the problem is, I am not sure how to flow it. Both conditions are successful, thus it always fires off the success email if i use an "On Success" flow.
How do i capture the RAISERROR before the email to tell it which email to send?
Does this make sense?

I'm attempting to develop a course whose objective is to present the users with several scenarios of broken or hung databases caused by different things that they then have to fix.
Do you have any ideas or examples of how to break a database and the reasons behind it, also how to repair it afterwards !!

Hello, I had a notification set up using xp_sendmail working fine for a while. Recently I updated the SQL Server (http://www.windowsitpro.com/Forums/messageview.cfm?catid=1664&threadid=129743#) to sp3a and we moved the mailbox (http://www.windowsitpro.com/Forums/messageview.cfm?catid=1664&threadid=129743#) that I was using to a Exchange 2003 server. I can still send my notification if I use the domain ID that runs the SQL service and the sa ID, but not the NT ID's that were running it before. I have users use NT authentication (http://www.windowsitpro.com/Forums/messageview.cfm?catid=1664&threadid=129743#) from a domain that's different than the one that the SQL server (http://www.windowsitpro.com/Forums/messageview.cfm?catid=1664&threadid=129743#) resides. There is a trust and nothing has changed with that. Below are the results when I try to run the notification using an NT ID. This ID has full permissions over the SQL server. SQL Mail session started.ODBC error 8198 (42000) Could not obtain information about Windows NT (http://www.windowsitpro.com/Forums/messageview.cfm?catid=1664&threadid=129743#) group/user 'INTERNALxxx.xxx'. Stopped SQL Mail session. As you can see SQL Mail starts and stops ok, but I get the error on the xp_sendmail itself. I can run xp_logininfo to return all of the ID's using this NT login. But if I run xp_logininfo just on the problem ID, I get the following results. EXEC master..xp_logininfo@acctname = 'INTERNALxxx.xxx' Server: Msg 8198, Level 16, State 24, Procedure xp_logininfo, Line 58Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'INTERNALxxx.xxx'. Here's when it works. EXEC master..xp_logininfo BUILTINAdministrators group admin BUILTINAdministrators NULLINTERNALxxx.xxx user admin INTERNALxxx.xxx NULLINTERNALSxx Axx group admin INTERNALSxx Axx NULLSISDOMsxx.dxx.axx user admin SISDOMsxx.dxx.axx NULLSISDOMSxx.Dxx.Axx group admin SISDOMSxx.Dxx.Axx NULLINTERNALlxxx.rxxx user user INTERNALlxxx.rxxx NULL The ones in bold work for everything. Please advise? Julie

Hi,
I have an orchestration that recieves a pricelist flat file and it must insert into 2 tables - article, articlePrice(for each LotSize) into sql server using a sql adapter. I also want it to check if a record exists for that lotSize and update it if it does. The records are indentified with a uniqueidentifier. So I have 3 if statements:
1 - if (<the article does not exist(checks SupplierArticleNumber)>)
<insert a record into article table>
<insert a record into articlePrice table>
2 - else if(<the article exists but not for that lotSize>)
<insert a new record in articlePrice table>)
3 - else
update the corresponding ArticlePrice row.
My problem is in writing the sp, first it checks if the article exists, if it does then it creates a row in the article table and then one into the articlePrice table. My question is how do I get a hold on the "articleGUID"(pk - uniqueidentifier) that was created on the first table on insertion in order to create the row in the second table(fk)?
And is this possible with one stored procedure? If not does anyone know in Biztalk what other way to do this?
I am new to both Biztalk and sql, so I don't really know what I am doing? I would really appreciate any suggestions!

I kow for a solid comparison between using datareaders and datasets I will have to perform that myself. But for now I will be utilizing datasets...
What I am doing is currently utilizing assemblies to create my datasets ahead of time. I will eventually compile them as dlls. I'm just utilizing assemblies during my building/testing fase.
My questions is:
Is it faster to completely build the datasets and all needed connections inside the assemblies/dlls and fill them? Or to build the datasets and connections as a sub procedure that can be accessed and then fill them as each required set of data is needed?
I ask because I will be having many different data connections and so I'm not sure if it's faster to explicitly build/fill almost each and every one and have them compiled at runtime ready to be accessed, or to file them when called from a sub etc...?
As I take it, the server should track and monitor which are used the most, and cache them, so as to operate faster. I wonder if it will still do this if the datasets aren't pre-filled?
Hi all -
We are planning to use a 2-node SQL Server 2005 cluster as part of a new Biztalk 2006 project, and I would like some advice regarding SQL Server service packs and editions.
Testing has already been running for some time without problems, but the test environment (a) is not clustered, (b) is using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition rather than Enterprise and (c) has neither of the SQL Server service packs installed.
As this is a major project for us, my instinct would be to use Enterprise Edition (maximise performance and scalability)
and to apply SP2 (because I thought it was best practice to be up-to-date). I would have liked to do this before we go Live so we don't run the risk of having to change afterwards if we hit a problem.
Understandably, the project guys' perspective is this: testing so far has not been affected by SQL Server bugs, and we should go Live with the environment we have tested in, albeit with the planned 2-node cluster which is seen as a 'must have'.
I have trawled Books Online, Technet and other resources without success, so any thoughts or info on required, recommended or preferred combinations of Biztalk 2006 with SQL Server 2005 editions and service packs in a clustered
environment would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Hi,
We are planning to use the BTS BRE for our business rules and calling these from a data flow transformation (e.g. for every row in a flat file during import). One way would be to use a script component.
However, the question is that the script component would have to create and destroy BRE objects (e.g. a BRE Policy object) for every row in the flat file.
Is there a way to instantiate objects and whole on to them for the lifetime of the package or a container within a package?
Any suggestions regarding achieving the above most efficiently would be much appreciated.
Regards,
TD

I had created a trigger which sees that whether a database is updated if it is its copy the values of the updated row into another control table now I want to read the content of control_table into BIzTalk and after reading I want to delete it.Can any one suggest the suitable ay to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe are evaluating BizTalk as an "hub" in our integration strategy. Does anyone know how (or if it is possible)to place transactions from SQL Server (f.ex. by using triggers) into a message queue which BiZTalk can receive from ?
Any other suggestions on how to connect SQL Server and BizTalk ?
