Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Performance Optimization Guide
Go to: Microsoft BizTalk Server Performance Optimization Guide (Source: Microsoft)
To download a copy of this guide, go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=120792
Welcome to the first edition of the Microsoft® BizTalk® Server Performance Optimizations Guide. We created this guide to provide in depth information for optimizing the performance of a BizTalk Server solution. Full end-to-end performance testing is frequently overlooked during enterprise application deployment. Knowing that Microsoft has built a scalable messaging infrastructure, many organizations that use BizTalk Server spend little or no time conducting performance testing of their own applications. BizTalk Server applications consist of many parts, which may include custom-built components as well as those provided by Microsoft. It is impossible for Microsoft to performance test every possible combination of these components. Therefore, fully and properly conducting a performance test of your application is a critical step of any deployment. The purpose of this guide is to consolidate and provide prescriptive guidance on the best practices and techniques that should be followed to optimize BizTalk Server performance.

SQL Server provides several tools for monitoring events in SQL Server and for tuning the physical database design. These tools are described in the SQL Server Books Online topic Tools for Performance Monitoring and Tuning (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=146357). Information about specific tools used for SQL Server performance monitoring and tuning is provided below:
SQL Profiler
Microsoft SQL Server Profiler can be used to capture Transact-SQL statements that are sent to SQL Server and the SQL Server result sets from these statements. Because SQL Server is tightly integrated with SQL Server, the analysis of a SQL Server Profile trace can be a useful tool for analyzing problems that may occur in BizTalk Server when reading from and writing to SQL Server databases. For information about how to use SQL Server Profiler, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic Using SQL Server Profiler (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104423).
Important
There is considerable overhead associated with running SQL Profiler. Therefore SQL Profiler is best suited for use in test or development environments. If using SQL Profiler to troubleshoot a production environment, be aware of the associated overhead costs and limit the use of SQL Profiler accordingly.
Note
When using SQL Profiler to capture Transact-SQL statements, configure SQL Profiler to generate output to a local drive rather than a drive located on a remote network share or other slow device, for example, a local USB memory stick.
SQL Trace
SQL Server provides Transact-SQL system stored procedures to create traces on an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. These system stored procedures can be used from within your own applications to create traces manually, instead of using SQL Server Profiler. This allows you to write custom applications specific to the needs of your enterprise. For more information about using SQL Trace, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic Introducing SQL Trace (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=146354).
Note
When using SQL Trace to capture Transact-SQL statements, configure SQL Trace to generate output to a local drive rather than a drive located on a remote network share or other slow device, such as a USB flash drive.
SQL Activity Monitor
SQL Server 2008 Activity Monitor provides information about SQL Server processes and how these processes affect the current instance of SQL Server. For more information about SQL Server 2008 Activity Monitor, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic Activity Monitor (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=146355). For information about how to open Activity Monitor from SQL Server Management Studio, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic How to: Open Activity Monitor (SQL Server Management Studio) (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=135094).

SQL Server Tools for Performance Monitoring and Tuning
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL Server provides several tools for monitoring events in SQL Server and for tuning the physical database design. These tools are described in the SQL Server Books Online topic Tools for Performance Monitoring and Tuning (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=146357). Information about specific tools used for SQL Server performance monitoring and tuning is provided below:
SQL Profiler
Microsoft SQL Server Profiler can be used to capture Transact-SQL statements that are sent to SQL Server and the SQL Server result sets from these statements. Because SQL Server is tightly integrated with SQL Server, the analysis of a SQL Server Profile trace can be a useful tool for analyzing problems that may occur in BizTalk Server when reading from and writing to SQL Server databases. For information about how to use SQL Server Profiler, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic Using SQL Server Profiler (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104423).
Important
There is considerable overhead associated with running SQL Profiler. Therefore SQL Profiler is best suited for use in test or development environments. If using SQL Profiler to troubleshoot a production environment, be aware of the associated overhead costs and limit the use of SQL Profiler accordingly.
Note
When using SQL Profiler to capture Transact-SQL statements, configure SQL Profiler to generate output to a local drive rather than a drive located on a remote network share or other slow device, for example, a local USB memory stick.
SQL Trace
SQL Server provides Transact-SQL system stored procedures to create traces on an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. These system stored procedures can be used from within your own applications to create traces manually, instead of using SQL Server Profiler. This allows you to write custom applications specific to the needs of your enterprise. For more information about using SQL Trace, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic Introducing SQL Trace (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=146354).
Note
When using SQL Trace to capture Transact-SQL statements, configure SQL Trace to generate output to a local drive rather than a drive located on a remote network share or other slow device, such as a USB flash drive.
SQL Activity Monitor
SQL Server 2008 Activity Monitor provides information about SQL Server processes and how these processes affect the current instance of SQL Server. For more information about SQL Server 2008 Activity Monitor, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic Activity Monitor (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=146355). For information about how to open Activity Monitor from SQL Server Management Studio, see the SQL Server 2008 Books Online topic How to: Open Activity Monitor (SQL Server Management Studio) (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=135094).

Maximum Characters allowed in an xml element
Below is an interesting point that I came across today and wanted to add it to the list. I have not validated it. If you have, please leave a comment.
[From: Ganesh Kumar's BizTalk Blog
http://geekswithblogs.net/GaneshKumar/archive/2008/11/15/maximum-characters-allowed-in-an-xml-element.aspx]
Today I found that in BizTalk, there is a maximum limit for the number of characters that can be sent in an XML element. The limit is 50,000,000 chars.

Today I found that in BizTalk, there is a maximum limit for the number of characters that can be sent in an XML element. The limit is 50,000,000 chars.
Configuring Dynamic SQL Port in BizTalk 2009
This is from Ganesh Kumar's BizTalk Blog:
http://geekswithblogs.net/GaneshKumar/archive/2009/09/03/dynamic-sql-port---new-in-biztalk-2009.aspx
Until the days of Biztalk 2006R2, the SQL Port was Static only and did not support dynamic ports.
BizTalk 2009 fully supports Dynamic SQL Ports, both for the regular out-of-the-box SQL Adapter and the new WCF SQL adapter.
For the regular SQL Adapter (which is being deprecated by microsoft), three new Message Context properties are available:
(SQL.ResponseDocumentRootElementName)
(SQL.DocumentTargetNamespace)
(SQL.ConnectionString)
Configuring these properties, together with
(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address)="SQL://" +Servername/ + Databasename/
creates a fully functional Dynamic SQL Adapter.
[This is directly from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd788439(BTS.10).aspx]
In BizTalk Server, you can configure dynamic ports for a WCF-Custom adapter. Because the SQL adapter is a WCF-based adapter, you can dynamically configure a port for the SQL adapter by using message context properties.
For the SQL adapter, the URI, action, and binding may be determined from a property on an incoming message, and then specified in the Expression shape, as shown in the following example:
CopyRequest2=Request1;
Request2(WCF.Action)="TableOp/Insert/dbo/CustomerTable";
Request2(WCF.BindingType)="sqlBinding";
Request2(WCF.UserName)="myuser";
Request2(WCF.Password)="mypass";
SendPort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address)="mssql://sql_server/my_instance/my_database";
SendPort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.TransportType)="WCF-Custom";
Note:
If you are using a WCF-SQL adapter in BizTalk Server Administration console, you can also specify the transport type as SendPort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.TransportType)="SQLAdapter", where SQLAdapter is the name with which you added the WCF-SQL adapter in BizTalk Server Administration console.
In the preceding example,
•Request2 message is being created from Request1 message. Both messages map to an operation schema, which is generated using the Consume Adapter Service Add-in.
•SendPort is the name of the logical send port in the BizTalk orchestration.
The Expression shape is part of the BizTalk orchestration. Deploying the orchestration also creates a WCF-Custom send port.
For more information about configuring dynamic ports, see “Configuring Dynamic Send Ports Using WCF Adapters Context Properties” at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=106735.

(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address)="SQL://" +Servername/ + Databasename/
creates a fully functional Dynamic SQL Adapter.
[This is directly from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd788439(BTS.10).aspx]
In BizTalk Server, you can configure dynamic ports for a WCF-Custom adapter. Because the SQL adapter is a WCF-based adapter, you can dynamically configure a port for the SQL adapter by using message context properties.
For the SQL adapter, the URI, action, and binding may be determined from a property on an incoming message, and then specified in the Expression shape, as shown in the following example:
CopyRequest2=Request1;
Request2(WCF.Action)="TableOp/Insert/dbo/CustomerTable";
Request2(WCF.BindingType)="sqlBinding";
Request2(WCF.UserName)="myuser";
Request2(WCF.Password)="mypass";
SendPort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address)="mssql://sql_server/my_instance/my_database";
SendPort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.TransportType)="WCF-Custom";
Note:
If you are using a WCF-SQL adapter in BizTalk Server Administration console, you can also specify the transport type as SendPort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.TransportType)="SQLAdapter", where SQLAdapter is the name with which you added the WCF-SQL adapter in BizTalk Server Administration console.
In the preceding example,
•Request2 message is being created from Request1 message. Both messages map to an operation schema, which is generated using the Consume Adapter Service Add-in.
•SendPort is the name of the logical send port in the BizTalk orchestration.
The Expression shape is part of the BizTalk orchestration. Deploying the orchestration also creates a WCF-Custom send port.
For more information about configuring dynamic ports, see “Configuring Dynamic Send Ports Using WCF Adapters Context Properties” at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=106735.
How to test the Custom pipeline without deploying?
This article is being referenced from Thiru's blog which you can find at:
http://biztalktutor.com/2008/01/06/how-to-test-the-custom-pipeline-without-deploying/
Thanks Thiru for wonderful article.
To test the Custom pipeline, you don’t have to deploy the application. You can use command file tools available in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\SDK\Utilities\PipelineTools” For that you need sample input file with the schema.
xmldasm batch.xml –ds custdoc.xsd –es custenv.xsd
where, xmldasm.exe – xml disassembler stage component.
batch.xml – sample input file to be tested
custdoc.xsd – document schema
custenv.xsd – envelope schema
-ds/es – mentioning the document schema/envelope schema
If your input xml file succeeds, you will get a output xml file. Otherwise you will get an error message.
The same way, you can use,
xmlasm.exe for xml assembler stage component
ffasm.exe for Flatfile assembler stage component
ffdasm.exe for Flatfile disassemble stage component
You can also use file name macros like “%MessageID%”, “%MessagePartID%”.
For more information, use simply file name like xmldasm, you will get detailed parameters and options.

BizMock - BizTalk Agile Testing
BizMock is a new BizTalk testing framework intended for developers.
Its main main features are:
Isolated test environment: automated tests executing in a single machine (developer or integration server).
Dynamic emulation: tests can dynamically mock the messages received from external systems.
Unified API: all the BizTalk artifacts are tested using the same fluent interface API: orchestrations, maps, pipelines, schemas, use the same paradigm and artifacts can be reused across tests
Domain Driven: tests are written at a higher level of abstraction, using BizTalk domain concepts like ports, maps, orchestration. These artifacts can be tailored and encapsulated using C# object orientation. For example xpath queries, DB commands, complex validation logic are put out of sight of the developer.
Integrated Development Environment: integrated with VS, uses MS Test, project templates, artifacts deployment & configuration is automated, the artifacts code is auto-generated using T4 templates
Code Productivity: fluent Interface API with intelisense, artifact reusability across tests, artifact dynamic adjustments at runtime.
Extensibility: allows several points of extension by allowing the creation of new artifact types, actions, fluent interfaces, etc.
Completeness: The tests can exercise all the solution from the receive adapter, to the send adapters, the local databases, helper components and passing by the message box; although some artifacts like maps, pipeline components and schemas are tested in isolation from the BizTalk infrastructure.
Agility: allow continuous integration & Promote Test Driven Development, Domain Driven Design approaches

BizTalk Host Configurator per Application
For full detail about the tool visit the following Link:
http://www.biztalk247.com/v1/articles/appHostCreator.aspx
BizTalk Server has evolved as one of the most successful server products from Microsoft. Companies use BizTalk Server in a variety of configurations. Let’s see this scenario:
Scenario: Company-X is a medium sized company they got variety of small BizTalk applications like “Order Processing”, “Payroll Processing”, “Payment Processing” etc. But they only have one BizTalk infrastructure (they got replica setting for testing and production) with 2 BizTalk application servers (BizTalk group) connected to 2 SQL servers clustered. All their BizTalk applications are deployed in this BizTalk group. All the applications are configured to run within the default In-Process and Isolated host and one instance per host is created on both the application servers.
The main issues with the above scenario are:
1. Every time a new application is deployed or existing application is upgraded the host instances needs to be restarted (to refresh cached components). Stopping or restarting the host instance is going to affect each and every deployed application. At the minimum none of the applications are going to process any messages during the upgrade process.
2. Security can be compromised, because there is no security boundary between applications.
3. If one application causes problem to the host instance it’s going to affect the overall system.
The solution to the above mentioned problems is to create separate logical hosts for each application and then creating corresponding host instances. Logical hosts can be created for BizTalk application using variety of tools that comes out of the box like BizTalk administration console, WMI, etc, but we’ll face the following issues
1. A thorough understanding of the host and host instances concept is required for the person who is performing the task.
2. Creating logical host and configuring the BizTalk artifacts manually (handlers, receive locations, send ports and orchestrations) are error prone.
3. Managing multiple logical hosts and their corresponding configuration will become more difficult over time.
ApplicationHostCreator is designed to create and manage logical hosts for BizTalk applications seamlessly to support situations as described in the above scenario.

Architectural Patterns for Distributed Computing
Joshy Joseph, Jason Hogg, Dmitri Ossipov, Massimo Mascaro, and Danny Garber
Summary: As the technologies supporting design, development, and deployment of distributed applications continue to advance, it is more important than ever for architects and developers to establish stable libraries of architectural patterns based on recurrent experiences developing such distributed solutions. This article will explore patterns harvested from customer engagements—mapping real-world scenarios to patterns and then describing how said patterns were implemented on current technologies. Our analysis also includes a discussion of the forces leading to the application of a particular pattern and the resulting context that must be considered.

Designing the System Architectures for BizTalk ServerThe requirements of your Microsoft® BizTalk® Server deployment for security, performance, availability, and operation are highly dependent on your business needs, requirements, partners, company size, and so on. While it is difficult to consider any single configuration of BizTalk Server components as typical and provide prescriptive guidance for it, this section provides guidance and recommendations on how to configure the different BizTalk Server features in a distributed, secure configuration for the production environment of a large enterprise.
The architectures presented in this section aim to provide you with reference information about deploying BizTalk Server in a highly distributed environment where you take into consideration defense in depth. Every application for BizTalk Server is likely to have its own unique set of security requirements based on the problem domain, the protocols used, and the particular environment the solution operates in. Performance, availability, and cost considerations further influence these requirements. You should use these architectures and the recommendations within this document as the building blocks to create your own BizTalk Server deployment tailored to the needs, threats and assets of your company.
This section contains information about how you can design the system architecture for BizTalk Server to secure the different features in BizTalk Server, and consequently, secure the data that the servers process and store, and how to place the servers in a distributed environment that minimize the potential for critical data and servers being compromised in the event of an attack or disaster. This section does not provide recommendations for configuring development, or test environments, or details for deploying an assembly into a production environment.

BizTalk Service Oriented Solutions
Service Oriented Solution
The service oriented solution shows how to present a BizTalk application as a service that is available as a Web service and in forms accessible to legacy applications. The solution also shows how to communicate with back-end processes as Web services, as well as how to aggregate responses from multiple back-end systems.
The sections provide an overview of the solution, detailed explanations of the patterns and design choices, and information about building and running the solution.
Note
The patterns and guidance documented in these sections are intended to illustrate an approach to a particular kind of business solution. Patterns are simple mechanisms that are meant to be applied to a specific problem and are usually combined with other patterns. They are not meant to be plugged into an application. Example code is provided "as is" and is not intended for production use. It is only intended to illustrate the pattern and therefore does not include extra code, such as exception handling, logging, security, and validation. Microsoft does not support deploying the example code "as is" to production.

Enterprise Service Bus
What Is an Enterprise Service Bus? An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is an architectural pattern and a key enabler in implementing the infrastructure for a service-oriented architecture (SOA)
ESB is only one of many components required to build a comprehensive service-oriented infrastructure (SOI)
The increasing adoption of SOA and the proliferation of Web services have revealed an ever growing need to provide a managed layer between services and their consumers
An ESB provides support for interaction between heterogeneous services and interfaces that might be mismatched, or that might change over time
An ESB addresses integration problems in a way that maximizes the re-use of services and maintains flexibility

BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.0 - What Is an Enterprise Service Bus?
What Is an Enterprise Service Bus?
An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is an architectural pattern and a key enabler in implementing the infrastructure for a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Real-world experience has demonstrated that an ESB is only one of many components required to build a comprehensive service-oriented infrastructure (SOI). The term "ESB" has various interpretations in the market, which have evolved over time; however, the basic challenge it addresses is the same.
Namely, the increasing adoption of SOA and the proliferation of Web services have revealed an ever growing need to provide a managed layer between services and their consumers. There must be support for interaction between heterogeneous services and interfaces that might be mismatched, or that might change over time.
An ESB addresses such integration problems in a way that maximizes the re-use of services and that maintains the flexibility to easily change the solution.
