Hi.

I have developed a C# COM+ Component that access one database table
(simulating some kind of queue) and writes each reccord to Microsoft Message
Queue (to be accessed by Biztalk Server 2002).

So far, so good. The component is ok and working fine as COM+.

But my doubt is in the way to integrate it with biztalk. As the component is
the beginning of the proccess, what I must do to integrate it with biztalk?
Which one of those options is the best?

a) write a windows service to execute the component? With that, to Biztalk
the beginning of the process will be the incomming message at the queue...
b) or do I have any biztalk way to start the component automatticaly in the
Schedule? If that option is possible? How to do it?

Thanks.
Daniel Santana.

Hi Daniel,

AFAIK BizTalk doesn't have any kind of scheduling built in .Best would be
you write your own scheduler or use windows scheduler to invoke your
component periodically and when the messages gets posted in queue the
Biztalk shall come into picture to handle the rest of the process
