The most common question that I received on Beta 1 of this application was about testing with transports other than File. While it is not my intent to write all of the implementations that may be necessary I did provide an extensibility model for the community to do so. However, it was buried in the Help File and not very explicit about how to go about writing your own extensions. Therefore, I have published the BizTalk Performance Tester Extensibility Guide to provide more guidance on how to extend the application.
I've uploaded Beta 2 of the BizTalk Peformance Tester (yes, I've changed the name) to GotDotNet. This release fixes the following reported bugs:
- Added configuration menu item to support post-install configuration changes via the UI
- Fixed bug in configuration UI where the delete timer value was being misrepresented
- Updated the documentation with a run-time screenshot of the configuration dialog
- Scripted the creation of the required SQL Server database during installation
Please uninstall the previous release before installing this release. You may wish to also delete the configuration files to perform a completely fresh install (note that the config files are backwards compatible so this step isn't required).
