Disabling Itinerary Encryption in ESB Toolkit 2.0 (from Peter Kelcey), Samstag, 1. Mai 2010 15:13:55

Peter Kelcey descirbes how to disable the intinerary encryption feature of ESB Toolkit 2.0 to be able to export models without encryption. This is obvisously only a good idea on a dev machine, or if your intineraries do not contain any sensible information.

Connected Systems in the Great White North : Disabling Itinerary Encryption in the ESB Toolkit 2.0

In short terms:

1. open “C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.0\Tools\Itinerary Designer\ruleset.config”, i.e. in Visual Studio
2. search for <property name="EncryptionCertificate">
3. comment its “validator”-subnode, that contains a validator type of “Microsoft.Practices.Modeling.Validation.X509CertificateContainerValidator”.

Be sure to restart Visual Studio, because it has to reload the ruleset.config!

Download My BizTalk 2009 Visio Shapes, Montag, 11. Januar 2010 21:25:16

It is always the same issue, you have to illustrate a BizTalk solution and you need always the same shapes. So some time ago I started to collect some nice shapes for illustrating BizTalk solutions.

If you need some space-saving BizTalk Visio Shapes, then try my BizTalk 2006 Shapes. But if you need some shapes that are also suitable for PowerPoint presentations, then try my new BizTalk 2009 Shapes. My way to use these shapes is to create a visio drawing to illustrate the solution. And then I copy the drawing to the resulting PowerPoint presentation.
