Dynamic ports and their host

Due to some imprecise terminology in various blog posts on dynamic ports and their host, I’ve been let to believe that all dynamic ports was to use the same host - the default host - limiting the real world use of dynamic ports severely. This is however not the case.
It’s quite simple really: a dynamic send port will always use the port configured as the default handler of the particular adapter.
So, all dynamic send ports do not use the same default host, but all dynamic send ports of a particular adapter will use the same host.
This behavior can still limit the use of dynamic adapters, but not to the same extend.

PowerShell Provider til BizTalk version 1.2.0.0 er frigivet

PowerShell Provider version 1.2.0.0 til BizTalk nu er blevet frigivet.:

http://psbiztalk.codeplex.com/

Jeg har arbejdet med provideren det meste af dagen og jeg er meget imponeret.

Jeg vil helt sikket skrive mine fremtidige (og måske endda omskrive mine eksisterende) BizTalk –scripts, så de kan drage nytte af PowerShells fantastisk og næsten intuitive koncept hvor BizTalks forskellige elementer (Applications, Porte o.s.v.) vha. adapteren kan navigeres som et filsystem. De mange medfølgende Cmdlets gør administration af BizTalk til noget der ligner en leg ;-)

er fantastisk, også for de der endnu ikke måtte have den store PowerShell erfaring.
