AVIcode BizTalk 2006
Application Management PackOverview
Today’s business climate and the migration towards
service-oriented architectures requires companies to
automate and optimize business processes that span
across applications, people, and organizations, uniting
disparate components into a comprehensive system.
Microsoft’s BizTalk Server 2006 delivers the unique
tools required to effectively and efficiently accomplish
this task.
To ensure the success of diverse business processes
powered by BizTalk Server, it is essential to adopt a
proactive solution that identifies and diagnoses
problems in real-time. The foundation of that solution
is System Center Operations Manager 2007 coupled with
the AVIcode BizTalk Server 2006 Management Pack. The
AVIcode BizTalk 2006 Application Management Pack extends the
native monitoring capabilities of
Operations Manager 2007 and enables organizations to
detect and diagnose problems related to their BizTalk
applications.
Specifically, the AVIcode BizTalk 2006 Application Management Pack provides:
- Monitoring for security and connectivity
problems related to incorrect configuration of
BizTalk Adapters for HTTP, MSMQ, SMTP, SOAP, SQL
Server, Windows SharePoint Services, and Oracle.
- Real-time detection of BizTalk Application
failures due to erroneous .NET code activities
within BizTalk Orchestrations and Pipelines, with identification of
offending line of code.
- Real-time detection of BizTalk Application
failures due to connectivity problems to MSSQL,
Oracle, and DB2 databases within BizTalk
Orchestrations.
- Real-time detection of BizTalk Application
failures due to connectivity problems to third party
Web Services within BizTalk Orchestrations.
- Tracing and Performance Analysis of MSSQL,
Oracle, and DB2 databases usage within BizTalk
Orchestrations.
- Assistance in debugging data processing errors
inside XSLT transformations.
- Detection and Correlation of BizTalk resource
utilization for Memory, CPU and I/O with overall
Windows Server resource utilization for Memory, CPU
and I/O at the moment a problem occurs.

resource utilization for BizTalk Server
Why Monitor BizTalk?
Imagine you are using functoids in your pipeline to
convert XML data from one format to another and
populating a new field with the result of the
conversion. If the pipeline data is in the wrong format,
the conversion will fail. In this case, BizTalk cannot
provide you with enough data to pinpoint the failed
conversion. AVIcode's BizTalk Server 2006 Management
Pack, however, will provide you with the actual runtime
value for the piece of data that did not pass the
conversion. Similarly, suppose within BizTalk
Orchestration, you wrote an XLANG line to call your
function from a custom-built assembly to perform an import
operation. If that piece fails, BizTalk will report a
failure in the orchestration but it will not provide
additional details. The AVIcode BizTalk Server 2006
Management Pack collects all of the root cause data you
need to accurately identify and resolve failures and SLA
violations. With the AVIcode BizTalk 2006 Application Management Pack,
Operations Manager 2007 users gain real-time insight
into the functionality, performance, and behavior of
their BizTalk applications. And, when a problem is
detected, the BizTalk Server 2006 Management Pack
automatically classifies the error and provides a
complete root cause analysis, including a reproducible
test case, empowering organizations to quickly resolve
problems and best ensure the availability and
reliability of their BizTalk-driven applications. For more details on the AVIcode
