BizTalk HL7 end-to-end tutorial error

While preparing a POC with BizTalk 2006 and the accelerator for HL7 1.3, I realized there is a little error in the end-to-end tutorial (also in <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for HL7 1.3\SDK\End-to-End Tutorial). In the "TutorialSampleInstance.txt" the name of the source (MSH3) is "ADTSystem", while the name of the party in both BizTalk Administration and BTAHL7 is "Tutorial_ADTSystem". The consequence is that no ACK or RX messages are generated. To solve it, just change...

Being a Woman in IT

I've been in IT now for about 5 years (2 years studying, 3 working). This is a very masculine field and, though I have often talked about it with colleagues (both male and female), the truth is that I have never been the object of any ironic remarks or felt I was being discriminated in any way, except for this week! In the space of 3 days, two fun/ironic remarks on women and IT. No malice intended, I think, but still ... I didn't find them that funny (especially the first one). Remark #1 (From a...

Job Interviews: BizTalk Questions

On a more technical note, these are some of the questions I generally ask when interviewing someone for BizTalk. They are pretty general because the goal was to find out their knowledge of BizTalk in general, not to check if they knew all the gory details. General BizTalk Questions Explain general architecture of BizTalk (components, interaction of this components, etc) What design-pattern does BizTalk implement? Is the communication/messaging system in BizTalk is synchronous or asynchronous? What...

Job Interviews: Relax, please!

Most of my experience with job interviews has been as the interviewed but lately there were two occasions where I was the interviewer. Together with a colleague we had to check the technical knowledge of several people applying for a position not directly in our company but for which we have to provide the candidates. Our role was to test the person's knowledge on BizTalk and SQL Server (BizTalk being my subject). I realized several things: I totally empathize with the person and want them so much...

BizTalk Rules: short- and long-term facts

While preparing a demo on BizTalk 2006 I have learned something important abouthe rules. I had created a pretty simple policy with two rules. Both of them changed a field in an XML document according to a field in a database. Whenever I tested the policy all went well. I gave a data connection and a file sample as input to the test and both rules did what they were supposed to do. However, once I started using the rules in an orchestration nothing happened! My first error was the following: 1st....

The signature of map file '<MyProject.Transform_Merge>' has changed.

I have been working on a POC with BTS2006 and data sources adapters (ODBC, DB2, SQL Server - I'll try to post about these later) for the past two weeks and encountered several problems. Nothing serious, but they caused me some pain. At one point I created a map in a transform shape with three source files. The idea being to create a sort of "merge" of the three documents. I selected the files, the mapper opened, I created the links between sources and destination and all was fine. Sources: Message1,...

BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems: Labs

I found HOL documents on the web for the BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems. They are pretty useful if you don't know much about host systems and don't even know how to start. I got them from here. Charles Sterling mentions these are labs from TechEd. It must have been in TechEd Australia because they were not available at TechEd Barcelona
