I just wanted to thank all the entries into the “What is missing in BizTalk 2010 Contest”. It was a hard decision for the other judges and I.
Finally, the decision was made. The winner was Siffnn from the UK. He received a free hard copy of my book “Applied Architecture Patterns on the Microsoft Platform”.
His entry was the following:
“I Would like to See following features :
1- GUI in admin console to tune BizTalk Message Box Parameters
2- GUI similar to SQL Management studio to gather performance stats report for BizTalk Hosts/SQL Databases.
3-Web Based Fast Admin Console,tool.
4- Debugging Options should be easy
5- Standard Application Logging/Caching framework
6-Messaging Patterns should be available in Visual Studio while creating a BizTalk Project
7-There should be standard templates available to add performance counters in PUB/SUB projects.
8-There should be GUI tools available on BAM Infrastructure.
9-BAM Portal should be modified to display larger volume of data using custom data grids. Currently available reports are not very fast.”
Again, thanks to everyone who entered!
Have a Happy New Year!
Have a look at the BizTalk Control Center Admin web based application for BizTalk it covers most of the aspects.
