Front-end file system cache problems might occur after a SharePoint configuration database restore.

March 25, 2010   17:41

Last week I was working at a client who just restored one of their SharePoint environments because of a site error. Everything was functioning like normal, until we discovered a major issue with the InfoPath forms publishing mechanism.

For some of the Infopath forms we received an error while upgrading the form to a newer version. The error statement told us that we could not update the form because of an object in the database with the same ID.

To resolve the error we tried to remove the existing form, but instead of removing the form, SharePoint decided to do the opposite and it tried to start some kind of upgrade process. We had no more options to upgrade or even delete the existing form.

BizTalk 2006 Recipes – A problem-solution approach

January 13, 2007   19:26

I would like to mention that there is a great book available about BizTalk 2006. It is called BizTalk 2006 Recipes, published by Apress and written by Mark Beckner, Ben Goeltz, Brandon Gross, Brennan O`Reilly, Stephen Roger, Mark Smith and Alexander West. (ISBN 1-59059-711-7)

In the book you will find a comprehensive guidance on working through complex deployment challenges, including tested, reusable code snippets for use in production, enabling faster deployment and minimal post-implementation engineering support.

The book is intended for starting BizTalkers as well as the seasoned BizTalk professional, but in my opinion it might be useful to have already a little introduction to the BizTalk development environment before starting with this book.

I already did a quick read in the book during my BizTalk 70-235 study, the book gives a detailed step by step overview of solutions (with lots of images) on how to work with BizTalk. The authors really did a good job to provide you with solutions that work, but best of all that works well.

In the next month(s) I will read this book and try to run all the provided solutions. Of course I will post feedback about this book on this blog.
