SOFWTARE COMPATIBILITY FOR BIZTALK 2013

HI ALL,
Please tell me if below softwares are compatible for Biztalk 2013
MS SQL SERVER EXPRESS EDITION WITH ADVANCED FEATURES -- 2012 VERSION
MS VISUAL STUDIO EXPRESS EDITION --2013
MS BIZTALK SERVER 2013 DEVELOPER EDITION
Thanks,
RENGA

Hi Rengaraj,
Express Editions are not recommended as they do not have all the required components, For SQL express check the blog - http://blogs.biztalk360.com/biztalk-server-with-sqlexpress/
You should go for the softwares as suggested by Microsoft : Hardware and Software Requirements for BizTalk Server 2013 and 2013 R2

TCPIP adapter for BizTalk 2013

Hello,
Is there a TCPIP adapter for BizTalk 2013. The one on codeplex can not be installed.
Regards,
Paul

You should download the one from CodePlex for BizTalk 2009 and edit the setup project where it is checking for BizTalk Version and modify this to the value for 2013. Rebuild and then you'd be able to deploy.
You would also need to re-target the one for 2009 from .Net 3.0 to .Net 4.0
Regards.

How to configure Send Handler for BizTalk 2013 Dynamic Send Port on deployment?

Hi,
I do know how to manually configure a send handler for a dynamic send port in BizTalk 2013 Administration console. Though, once you export your application's configuration to a binding file, the dynamic send port's configuration does not
contain any information regarding the send handler. When you try to use this binding file when deploying your application your dynamic port's send handler falls back to the default host instance.
So my question is, how could we automate this process to avoid manual step in a dynamic port configuration during deployment?
Thank you,
--Vlad

Hey vlad,
As discussed at work in the office.. I woudl take the powershelll approach for now as a workaround. Here's a trivial script for my local dev box (all in one biztalk & SQL) (must be run in an x86 powershell session):
param
[string] $bizTalkDbServer = ".",
[string] $bizTalkDbName = "BizTalkMgmtDb",
[string] $fileHostInstance = "SendingHost",
[string] $sendPortName = "sm_dynamic_sp_test"
[System.reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM") | Out-Null
$catalog = New-Object Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer
$catalog.ConnectionString = "SERVER=$bizTalkDbServer;DATABASE=$bizTalkDbName;Integrated Security=SSPI"
foreach($sp in $catalog.SendPorts)
if($sp.Name -eq $sendPortName)
  "Found send port $($sp.Name), analyzing send handler"
  foreach($sh in $sp.DynamicSendHandlers)
   if($sh.SendHandler.TransportType.Name -eq "FILE")
    if($sh.SendHandler.Host.Name -ne $fileHostInstance)
     "Changing $($sh.Name) send handler to '$fileHostInstance' from '$($sh.SendHandler.Host.Name)'"
     $sp.SetSendHandler("FILE", $fileHostInstance)
    else
     "Send handler for $($sp.Name) is already '$fileHostInstance' ignorning .. "
$catalog.SaveChanges()

SQL Hardware recommendatiosn for BizTalk 2013

Hi,
We are building a new BizTalk 2013 PROD environment. We are provisioning new Hardware for the underlying SQL server.
We have two options available.
Option 1 : 2 cpu's 2 x 4 cores, 2.5 GHz
Option 2 : 1 cpu with 8 cores, 3.3 GHz
Both are Intel Xeon.
Could you please let me know your thoughts on what factors we need to consider in selecting on of these options.

Microsoft BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems Missing with BizTalk 2013

Hi All,
I am using BizTalk 2013 and looking for Microsoft BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems but cannot find it on Installation disk.
Do any one has idea how to go ahead with this .
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
As far as what we can experience, there is not standalone download for
BizTalk 2013 Adapters for Host Systems 2013. Its part of the
Host Integration Server 2013 installtion.
HIS 2013 installation
document’s official
“Existing Product Upgrade
This release supports an in-place upgrade of earlier versions of HIS. The Host Integration Server 2013 setup automatically
upgrades your existing configuration. The following releases are supported for automatic upgrade.
Host Integration Server 2009
BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems 2.0
When you run the installation setup for
Host Integration Server 2013, we will get the information like the following. In my server I already have
BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems 2.0 (as per the requirement),
hence this installation wizard tries to upgrade it to make it compactable with 2013.
When you proceed with the installation, this will install/upgrade the BizTalk adapter to 2013.

Visual Studio 2013 - which edition for a BizTalk 2013 installation ?

Hi there,
What is the lowest edition of VS2013 that will do for BT2013 ?
Is it necessary to go for ultimate or is one of the test editions enough ?

If you're checking the lowest Visual Studio edition for saving cost, then Professional edition should do.
FYI:
For BizTalk 2013, it Visual Studio 2012. And for Visual Studio 2013 is for BizTalk 2013 R2 (not 2013)
And as pointed out, "Test Professional" is not for testing.
Have a look here for the comparison for features among the Visual studio editions.

Choosing VM as high availability for BizTalk's SQL Server databases

Hi,
I'm lloking to choose the architecture of our BizTalk 2013 solution.
The application server will be build on virtual machines, but I still have interrogation about the SQL Server.
Is a SQL Server on a VM supported for BizTalk 2013 ?
Because in case of physical failure, the VM moved to another server can we considered the VM as a solution of High-Availability ?
thanks for your reply.

When the SQL VM fails over what attributes of the server will change? If everything including the server name, the mapped SAN locations (for Databases) and/or the versions of SQL will remain the same then it will behave like a temporary network outage between
the Front-end and the SQL.
If however, the failed over VM has a different set of mapped location for DB then you would need to establish a BizTalk Log Shipping between SQL VM 1 and SQL VM 2. In this scenario, the recovery will require time and cannot be automatic.
A word of caution though. If you have SLA's pertaining to transactions/messages per second with the customer then you might want to evaluate having dedicated boxes of SQL. The SQL Licensing is PER CORE and in a VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT all the
CORES have to be licensed since the Virtualization does not permit you to BIND the VM to a specific set of CORES. The same would apply for your BizTalk Servers. This just might work out costlier as opposed to the dedicated server environment.
Regards.

Biztalk 2013 configuring to receive a 999

While attempting to process a 999 file that we receive (not generating it), the message goes suspended with the following error
Message Type 999 is not allowed as part of the Agreement
Since there is no 999 in the dropdown list for supported transactions, and there's lots of hints on the web that say the support for 999 was moved into the base artifact set for Biztalk 2013, what does one need to do in the party agreements to set to receive
a 999
Thanks
Scott K Berger

Hi,
BizTalk Server 2013 introduces a new way to configure this, while allowing us to use out of the box components and update the setting at the agreement level.
For more information, you can refer here(#new way to 999)

Hardware requirements for BizTalk

Hi we are planning to setup BizTalk server in our Clients environment. what are the hardware requirements needed to set it up ?
Can anyone give more information for setting BizTalk 2010
and also for BizTalk 2013
MBH

Hi,
Many factors influence the performance of a production BizTalk Server environment.
- Message size
- Schema complexity
- Map complexity
- Pipeline components
- Tracking data
- Message-persistence frequency
- Transport adapters
- Host configuration
- Orchestrations
Performance Factors
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc615058(v=bts.10).aspx
Use tools like PAL on a staging or acceptance environment to evaluate the performance of a BizTalk Server solution.
Performance Analysis of Logs (PAL)
The PAL tool is used to generate an HTML-based report that graphically charts important performance counters and generates alerts when thresholds for these counters are exceeded. PAL is an excellent tool for identifying bottlenecks in a BizTalk Server solution
to facilitate the appropriate allocation of resources when optimizing the performance of the solution.

BizTalk 2010 and BizTalk 2013 R2 on a single TFS 2010 build machine

Hello,
We are running two BizTalk environments ( BizTalk 2010 and BizTalk 2013 R2). All our BizTalk 2010 applications are using a single build machone on TFS 2010. We are planning to use the same build server for BizTalk 2013
R2 as well. As a prerequisite, we need to install the below two components,
1. .NET Framework 4.5
2. Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 - Project Build Component (under Additional Software)
Will the single build server support BizTalk 2010 project build component and BizTalk 2013 R2 project build component. We don't want to have any conflict on the build server. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answer. As its a dedicated build server, we are planning to install only the Project Build Components ( one is for BizTalk 2010 and another one is for BizTalk 2013 R2). We are not planning to install any of the other BizTalk server
components on the build server. Is that true that we can't even install multiple versions of project build components? Thanks in advance.

BIzTalk 2013 R2 Management Pack

Hi
Does anyone know when the BizTalk 2013 R2 Management pack is going to be released?
The current 2013 MP fails to discover BizTalk as it's looking for the following:
<Expression>
<SimpleExpression>
<ValueExpression>
<XPathQuery Type="String">Values/BizTalkServerProductVersion</XPathQuery>
</ValueExpression>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
<ValueExpression>
<Value Type="String">3.10.229.0</Value>
</ValueExpression>
</SimpleExpression>
</Expression>
But since the current version is 3.11.158.0 it fails to be discovered. It's supposed to be within 90 days of release isn't it?
thanks, Sid

BizTalk Server Developer 2013 Vs BizTalk 2013 R2

I would like to know that if user production environment is BizTalk 2013R2.
Can I use "BizTalk Server Developer 2013" for my development? Does they compatiable?

Yes it’s possible.
BizTalk 2013 R2 support both .NET Framework 4.5 and .NET Framework 4.5.1 not just 4.5.1.
Artifacts from BizTalk 2013 are .NET 4.5 and they are compatible with BizTalk 2013 R2 environment and hence they can be deployed in BizTalk 2013 R2 – Technically it’s possible.
Refer the platform supported section in this MSDN article.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248703.aspx
Then the question comes, would I do this? I will not. But if you don’t have an option, you got to use BizTalk 2013 in BizTalk 2013 R2, then I can. And for future development I would use BizTalk 2013 R2 environments for BizTalk 2013 R2 deployment.

The dynamic ports use a pipeline including a custom pipeline component which I can confirm is available in the correct directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013\Pipeline Components
I’m a bit stuck at what to try now, I have option where I could recreate the dynamic ports from scratch in the orchestrations and redeploy to dev in the hope it’s something
that VS2012 didn’t handle too gracefully when converting the project.
Two things.
1. That's what I would do first, recreate (really just change and reset the properties) the Orchestration Ports in Visual Studio.
2. Probably not related but, Custom Pipeline Components should not be placed in the Pipeline Components folder. All Custom Pipeline Components should be in the GAC only. The Pipeline Components folder
is a compatibility vestige from BizTalk Server 2004.
