(EDI) Features in Biztalk Server 2006 R2

  • 项目

Another common ask is a summary of the EDI features supported in R2.

Instead of writing it out, I thought it would be more interesting to the audience to read about it via a review. So here is a link to the review, in form of a blog. This person compiled this review based of my session at TechEd in Boston in June 2006 and has done a great job in crisply presenting an overview of the product!

    The features in R2 sound very close to what Covast claims they bring to the table with their EDI Accelerator.  Do these features eliminate the need for Covast, or are there still gaps with what they offer vs. what BizTalk will provide?  I have been looking at the Covast solution, and his list is very close to the list of why to buy Covast.  Maybe "written from scratch" meant, bought the Covast EDI developers.

    Hello Vibe: Covast are and continue to be a Microsoft partner; however the EDI solution in BizTalk 2006 R2 development is TOTALLY independent of Covast. We do believe that the R2 EDI Solution does provide 'comprehensive' support for X12 and EDIFACT interchange processing. Namate! Suren

    Suren, Thanks for the reply.  Covast's stand is that the R2 release will still be low level EDI compared to what they bring to the table.  My dilemma is whether or not to go with the Covast solution, or wait until Sept (date Covast uses) to see how comprehensive the R2 solution is.   My apologies for bothering you on this blog, but the EDI enhancements with R2 make it hard for us to justify the purchase of the Covast solution.  Especially since someone like yourself working with R2 truly believes that the EDI solution in R2 will actually be comprehensive enough for a major EDI implementation. Still torn, mike

    Hello again Vibe: I totally empathize with your dilemma. Here is how i can help: on this blog - you list out the top 'n' feature asks of your project and I will confirm R2 support on them. At get go, please remember that R2 supports a set of encoding/standards listed at http://blogs.msdn.com/biztalkb2b/archive/2006/10/14/edi-support-in-biztalk-server-2006-r2.aspx and if you require support for other standards (e.g., TRADACOM) you would need to consider other solutions. Something else to consider is that the R2 EDI solution is included in the BizTalk Server licensing – meaning you don’t have to pay additional for this R2 EDI and AS2 technology! Namaste, Suren
