Brand New Features
Features | Section in BizTalk360 | |
---|---|---|
Host Instance Monitoring | Until earlier versions, the "AtleastOneActive" state can be used to monitor only the Clustered Host Instances. From this version on, we made the "AtleastOneActive" state open to monitor Clustered and Non-Clustered Host Instances. The user can also enable AutoCorrect for Clustered and Non-Clustered host instances monitoring | Monitoring -> Manage Alarms -> BizTalk Environment -> Host Instances |
Dynatrace Integration | Users can integrate BizTalk360 Analytics data with Dynatrace. BizTalk360 Analytics services will create custom metrics in Dynatrace for every configured performance counter and then start pushing the performance data to the respective Dynatrace custom metrics. The user can map these custom metrics to the Dynatrace dashboard. | Settings -> Analytics Configuration -> Dynatrace Configuration |
SQL Query Custom Report | In BizTalk Reporting, we have introduced an additive widget called Custom SQL Query widget through which SQL queries can be mapped to get the top 100 query result as a report based on the scheduled configuration. | Analytics -> Reporting -> Report -> Add widget -> SQL Query Custom Widget |
BizTalk Group Dashboard | In BizTalk360's Monitoring dashboard it was not possible to view the status of all the mapped artifacts in a single view; the user needed to change the alarm each and every time to view the status of the mapped artifacts of each alarm. To overcome this challenge we have introduced the BizTalk Group Dashboard which gives a consolidated view of the status of all the artifacts which are mapped to all the alarms in an environment. | Monitoring -> BizTalk Group Dashboard |
User Access Policy and Licensing activities auditing | BizTalk360 Activities will give a clear view of user actions with respect to Licenses and User Access Policies. License activities include activation, deactivation, removal, and manual activation and deactivation. User Access Policy activities will include create, update, delete and import operation under the following section i.e Manage Users, Manage Application Groups and Manage Custom User profiles | Operations -> Governance Audit -> BizTalk360 Activities -> License Activities / User Access Policy Activities |
Enhancements
Enhancements | Section in BizTalk360 | |
---|---|---|
Performance Data collection improvements | In earlier versions, users can enable the performance data collection for the various server types, say BizTalk, SQL, IIS, Windows, where BizTalk360 will start collecting performance data for all the counters of the selected type. From this version on, to improve the performance, we are providing an option for the user to select the required performance counters on each type. This way, BizTalk360 will start collecting data only for the selected counters. | Settings -> Analytics Configuration -> Manage Analytics->Manage Metrics |
SQL Servers Monitoring | Some of the improvements we have done on SQL Server monitoring are, 1) Platinum tier users can add up to 4 servers for monitoring 2) User can remove the SQL servers which have been added for monitoring 3) User can add non-reachable SQL Servers for monitoring, however, the monitoring will happen only when the server is reachable | Settings -> Monitoring and Notification -> SQL Servers for Monitoring |
Environment Sequence Reordering | BizTalk360 allows the user to create, edit and delete the multiple BizTalk environments based on their organizational needs. In addition to that, we have another option called reordering an environment. Users can reorder the environment by dragging and dropping the environments. The selected order reflects everywhere in BizTalk360 where the Environments dropdown appears. By default, the active environment will be loaded when you launch BizTalk360. | BizTalk360 -> Settings -> Environments |
Teams Channel Improvements | From this version, a new text field "Message Card Summary" is added to the BizTalk360 Teams Notification Channel. When a BizTalk360 Alert is received, the Team's Message card will hold the message card summary. | BizTalk360 -> Settings -> Monitoring and Notification -> Manage Notification channels |
BizTalk Server License widget Restriction | The BizTalk Server License widget displays some key information like BizTalk Server licensing details. However, this information is not needed for all the users. So we have made some access restrictions to this widget, only the superusers can view this widget. Also, this widget is removed from the set of default widgets list. | BizTalk360 -> Operation Dashboard |
ESB Exceptions | In ESB Exception data, the Action Type and Comments are implemented when a Fault Message is Resubmitted or Deleted. | Operations -> ESB Portal -> ESB Exception Data |
Messaging Flow Patterns | From this version on, Analytics Messaging Flow Patterns can be determined from the BizTalk Management database. Users can switch the Messaging Flow determination technique in the Message Patterns configuration. The Dynamic Pattern option is used to determine the Message Patterns from the tracking database(earlier versions). | Settings -> Analytics Configuration -> Message Patterns |
Analytics Widget Improvements | The Host Performance CPU and Memory widgets have been segregated into different widgets. Information about the different legends in the BizTalk Messaging Performance widget has been added. The date/time range for the last 24 hours has been modified to show the time range for the last 24 hours instead of 12 hours | Analytics -> Home -> Widgets |
FIPS Compliance Support in Cryptography | BizTalk360 now supports the AE5 cryptography algorithm to support FIPS Compliance in the Encryption/Decryption mechanism. | Across BizTalk360 |
SQL Collation support in BizTalk360 | BizTalk Server is capable of supporting both case-sensitive and case insensitive collation. To make BizTalk360 more compatible with BizTalk Server, we have improved BizTalk360 in such a way that it will support case-sensitive collation as well. | Across BizTalk360 |
Support for rules created using BRE Pipeline Framework | Rules created using .NET classes with the BRE Pipeline Framework were not getting displayed in BizTalk360. This is now supported and the rules are getting displayed | Operations -> Rules -> Business Rules Composer |
ESB messages resubmit will support both UTF- 16 and UTF-32 | When resubmitting a message which holds special characters (like é) the messages were converted into a different format (like ? /♦). This issue has been fixed by supporting both UTF-16 and UTF-32. | Operations -> ESB Portal -> ESB Exception Data |

For example, Advanced Event Viewer, BizTalk Server, etc. This issue has been fixed and BizTalk360 is compatible with CS collation. | Across BizTalk360 |
