I will be attending VS Live Conference end of march in San Francisco. VSLive! returns to San Francisco's Moscone Convention Center West March 25-29, 2007 with more than 160 hours of hard-hitting technical content. Over five action-packed days, VSLive! San Francisco will provide a depth of resources and perspectives to help you be productive now and prepare for the near future. Attend sessions featuring practical techniques for writing software with today’s tools. From Ajax and data binding, to VB, C# and the .NET Framework, we have you covered. Our speakers have years of experience mastering the tools you need to get your job done. This will be the agenda: So I am looking forward to this event and hope to learn as much as my previous experience at Redmond during the SOA & BPM Conference. I also am excited to meet new people and have lots of interesting discussions.

Host Integration Server 2006 BizTalk Adapters

Last year I have done an integration project for slaughterhouse in Holland. This slaughterhouse had a logistic program running on AS/400 with a DB2 database. I was asked to extract data out of the database concerning planning of vehicle’s to arrive at the slaughterhouse with livestock to be slaughtered. This data was displayed (consumed) by an ASP.NET application. When vehicles arrived this was registered by operators using the ASP.NET app. During the slaughter process earmarks on livestock was used to provide more data like weight, meat quality and so on about the animal. The app had an SQL Server 2000 database as backend. All this data had to be put back into DB2 database. An integration solution was wanted in this scenario, where the slaughterhouse wanted to use BizTalk to get planning data out of the database each night and all data gathered during the day back in DB2. The planning data in DB2 had to be extracted through a sequence of queries on different tables in a certain order.
