BizTalk Administration Console – Performance Enhancements
This feature aims to improve BizTalk Administration Console performance across the board by more than 60%. Key Scenarios like refresh, addition, deletion of port, enlistment of an orchestration will be optimized. Post Enhancements, the BizTalk Administration Console would be more responsive and address one of the key customer pain-points of Console performance in BizTalk 2009.
BizTalk Settings Dashboard
The BizTalk Settings Dashboard will serve as a one-stop shop for BizTalk Engine settings visualization and modification. This feature will enable BizTalk Administrators to centrally manage BizTalk Settings as admins will be able to export and import settings from one environment to another (for e.g. staging to production). The BizTalk Settings Dashboard is a step forward in consolidating all BizTalk Settings and will incorporate design extensibility to accommodate future addition of settings.
Improved Management Pack
The Improved System Center Management Pack will address key customer pain-points (e.g. high-CPU usage, duplication of discovered artifacts etc.) in the existing Management Pack. The new and improved design will also incorporate enhancement like better visualization of BizTalk Application and Platform Artifacts, Improved monitoring and diagnostics of artifacts like Orchestrations, Grouping of Alerts etc.
RFID OOB Event Filtering and Delivery
The scope for this feature covers providing a set of OOB components for Duplicate Elimination filter, EPC based filter, DWELL filter, posting events from BizTalk RFID to BizTalk Server, Posting events from BizTalk RFID to an EPCIS service and an Event Delivery framework for applications to subscribe and receive asynchronous events. These Out Of Box components address common RFID scenarios and will enable partners to focus solely on business logic hence helping accelerate BizTalk RFID solutions.
FTP/FTPS Adapter
The FTP Adapter in BizTalk is one of the most popular transport adapter in BizTalk server, used in different scenarios. In BizTalk Server 2009 R2, we provide additional features in the FTP adapter that includes the following:
- Support for FTPS, FTP over SSL – Enables to connect to FTPS servers for transferring files securely. Both Implicit and Explicit FTPS are supported.
- Support for read-only FTP servers – Enables configuration to pick up files from a partner FTP server which may provide only read-only permission. The adapter will ensure that each file is submitted only once to BizTalk Server.
- Support for atomic file writing – Can be used to ensure that files are read only after they are transmitted fully to the FTP server.
· Enhanced performance – Re-designed to increase the performance, both while sending files to as well as receiving files from FTP servers. The adapter will be more resilient to server going down.
