BizTalk Server 2010 R2

  • Article

BizTalk Server is Microsoft's integration and connectivity server and is one of the most deployed integration servers in the industry. BizTalk Server 2010 was released just over a year ago. Today we are happy to share details on what customers can expect from the next release: BizTalk Server 2010 R2.

BizTalk Server 2010 R2 will focus on three primary themes:

  • Platform Support – Supporting new and current server and development platforms
  • Improved B2B – Aligning with industry standards and continuing to invest in performance improvements
  • Ready for the Cloud – Enabling customers to take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing

BizTalk Server 2010 R2 will be delivered approximately 6 months following the release of Windows Server 8. Release timing for Windows Server 8 is yet to be announced and will be disclosed by the Windows Server team in the future.

In addition to the investments we are making in BizTalk Server 2010 R2, we will continue the tradition of providing regular cumulative updates on a quarterly basis. These include updates to comply with Line-Of-Business (LOB) systems, schema changes, accelerator certifications, and bug fixes.

    Will MSMQ be updated to larger message sizes than 4 GB? A vendor convinced my organization not to buy BizTalk because they would have to re-write their software to "chunk" messages to fit under the 4 MB restriction in MSMQ. They also claimed BizTalk is based on 1990's technology that was never updated because it "never took hold".

    No XSLT 2.0 support?  No improvements to the Business Rule Composer, such as adding web service integration?  Wow thanks for another release of the same exact product.

    Biztalk site has very little information on current developments around biztalk. The site even reads 2011. Some updates on biztalk site would be very helpful.

    I have a question. I don't know where to place my Biztalk learning queries so I am asking it here. I want to know a sql query which will give me the list of all biztalk resources which are dependent on the Biztalk assembly that will be input to my sql query? You know that will come handy while removing a Biztalk resource that is being used by other Biztalk resources.

    How can we tell if we have BizTalk 2010 or BizTalk 2010/R2 currently installed? I've looked at Registry, but unclear how to know from what I see there.
