BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and BizTalk Server 2009

I have spent time week and last working on doing bottom-up evaluations of BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and BizTalk Server 2009.

BizTalk Server 2006 R2
  • Easily Installs on XP without a VPC
  • Installation Procedures on 2003 Server are same as R1
  • Compiles, Deploys & Runs "SMW BizTalk" and "Order Master" without new errors
  • Provides some minor bug fixes in the UI
  • Minor Changes in Admin and Config Tools
  • Existing XML formats work for binding
  • MSBuild (SDC) Extensions Function Perfectly for R2
  • Faster
  • WCF Adapters Integrated
  • BAM Interceptors Allow WCF and WF services OUTSIDE of BizTalk to participate in BAM
  • New Enterprise SSO Services (4.0)

BizTalk Server 2009 BETA
  • Installs and Runs in 2003 Advanced Server VPC
  • Allows for an In-place upgrade WITH deployed applications (SMW BizTalk)
  • Deployed Applications are upgraded
  • The production version will (they say) have cluster-upgrade-without-stoppage support
  • Integrates with Visual Studio 2008 SP1
  • Supports Source Control Features in Visual Studio (SVN/Ankh)
  • Some improved UI in development (faster, less bugs)
  • Administrator Tools are Improved by not radically different
  • Build System does not work right (yet)
  • Probably due to missing MSBuild / SDC Support for VS 2008 as the BTS compiler
  • Compiles, Deploys & Runs "SMW BizTalk" and "Order Master" without new errors
