Hi all

Today a customer asked me for the Custom Functoid Wizard. Before today I had never heard of it. I searched lots of places, and found several bog entries with links to the 2004 source code, installer, 2006 source code, installer and what not – but none of the links checked out.

So finally the customer found it himself, and just for the benefit of the rest of the world, I have placed the installer for the BizTalk 2009 version of the Custom Functoid Wizard at http://www.eliasen.dk/files/FunctoidWizardSetupInstaller.zip.

Hi all

Actually, I was warded the MDIP title quite some time ago – I just haven’t blogged about it.

The MDIP title is sort of a Danish mini-MVP award. It stands for Microsoft Designated Information Provider.

Yeah…

Hi all

Last week I participated in a pretty insane and intensive 5-day course covering the TOGAF 9 Foundation and TOGAF 9 Certified curriculum.

We were 11 people form Logica Denmark doing the course, and on Friday we all took the Foundation exam just after lunch. Luckily we all passed and then at 2pm we all took the Certified exam. The colleagues I have heard from by now all passed, and I am happy to announce, that so did I.

So I can now call myself TOGAF 9 Certified!

You can read more about The Open Group, TOGAF and the certifications at http://www.opengroup.org/, http://www.opengroup.org/togaf/ and http://www.opengroup.org/togaf9/cert/.

Hi all

A couple of days ago I held two presentations at the first meeting in the Danish BizTalk User Group (DBUG).

The first presentation was about the new mapper in BizTalk 2010.
Find my presentation here:

The second presentation was about the Pipeline Component Wizard.
Find my presentation here:

Find the code samples for both presentations here:

Note that my file names, source code, and so on has “DKBUG” instead of “DBUG” because the official acronym wasn’t chosen until the meeting, so I guessed… and guessed wrong

That’s all, folks!

Hi all

So, today my boss confirmed that I can go to the event held by the Swedish BizTalk User Group. See the details of the event here: http://bugs20100908-widget.eventbrite.com/. The event says it’s a BizTalk 2010 launch party… but whether BizTalk 2010 will be out there… I don’t know.

I am really looking forward to hearing what Richard Seroter, Ewan Fairweather and Stephen W. Thomas have to say. I have preordered their book, both paper and ebook editions. Hopefully I will receive at least one of them before September 8’th where the event starts.

Also, this will actually be the first time I will meet Johan Hedberg and Mikael Håkansson, who are two of my Swedish colleagues who are both BizTalk MVPs.

Anyway, flight and hotel are booked. Look for me there!

Hi all

Today I exported an MSI file from my development machine and wanted to import the MSI file on our test environment.

I got this error, though:

Change requests failed for some resources. (mscorlib)

Unable to process create change request for BizTalk binding "BindingInfo.xml". Import bindings (overwrite) failed. (Microsoft.BizTalk.ResourceManagers)

Failed to update binding information. (mscorlib)

Cannot update receive port "WcfReceivePort_FvmIndberetningCommon_CVR/FvmIndberetningCommon_CVR". (Microsoft.BizTalk.Deployment)

Cannot update receive location "WcfService_FvmIndberetningCommon_CVR/FvmIndberetningCommon_CVR". (Microsoft.BizTalk.Deployment)

The following items could not be matched up to hosts due to name and/or trust level mismatches:
Item: 'WcfService_FvmIndberetningCommon_CVR/FvmIndberetningCommon_CVR' Host: 'FVM_Indberetningsplatform_IsolatedHost' Trust level: 'Untrusted'
You must do one of the following:
1) Create hosts with these names and trust levels and try again
2) Re-export the MSI without the binding files and have a post import script apply a suitable binding file. (Microsoft.BizTalk.Deployment)

Now, the error message is pretty easy to understand. What had me baffled was, that the host exists and it IS untrusted. So there is no mismatch and the two ideas as to what to fix don’t seem to apply to my situation.

It turned out that the issue was that after creating the needed host and host instances, I had forgotten to add the necessary Receive Hander on the appropriate adapter for the receive location. But the error message doesn’t say anything about that – it just says that I need to create the host with the right trust level.

So, this post is just to let you know that there is another reason for the error message than what the error message states.
