Hi Kjartan,

Hi.

A really great idea to combine both Biztalk Documentor and BizTalkMapDoc.
My wishlist for the products:

1. Generating word-doc should not result in error.
2. Possibility to add comments and save them in the documentation. This wil make BizTalk documenter a perfect tool to also comment on the interfaces.
3. Possibility to add comments to the bizTalkMapDoc after generation. (and save them).

Regards Kjartan Halstvedt (Norway)
- Keep up the good work !!

Comment on To DAL or not to DAL by Mike Stephenson

You find quite a lot of times that you end up needing to have a custom database to support various biztalk processes. particularly if they re batch driven processes.

It could be a good future feature to have something little like BAM where it could create tables which you could interact with for some of the common patterns. Fair enough if its an external databse you would need to write code, but if its really internal to the process it would be nice to get rid of any coding and just have a designer to create a table that ends up in a biztalk database and then a designer to map what data you wish to retrieve. I think one of the concerns about doing this previously would always have been performance of someone creating a poor database, but with velocity that poor performance isnt so much of an issue??

I know it could be beneficial to some projects not to have to create custom databases and to have to worry about keeping them in sync with the biztalk backups.
