BizTalk360 New Version (4.0) Released
LONDON, June 13, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Kovai Limited today released BizTalk360 version 4.0, the latest version of the world's
most advanced BizTalk Server support/monitoring tool
[http://www.biztalk360.com/content/download?utm_source=pr&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=pr ].
Kovai Limited continues its agile iterative development/release methodologies based on
customer feedback.
Version 4.0 of BizTalk360 brings some most requested capabilities that will help
BizTalk Server operators/administrators to better monitor and administer BizTalk
environments efficiently.
"The number of capabilities BizTalk360 offers outweighs the ones currently offered
through SCOM management packs for BizTalk or alternative products and solutions in market
today. I think many are impressed in the evolution of BizTalk360 from its inception more
than a year ago until its current version 4.0." - Says Steef-Jan. Wiggers, a BizTalk
Server MVP.
Custom SQL query - BizTalk administrators typically maintain a list of custom SQL
queries to support their day to day operations. Examples of such query will include
- Checking the spool size of the message box database,
- Checking the last 10 large messages in tracking database
- Checking the status of orchestrations, receive locations etc. with conditions.
Typically they maintain these queries in a SQL text file and need to use external
tools like SQL management studio to open and execute them. Both inefficient and less
secure. BizTalk360 helps to solve this problem by providing custom SQL query management
and execution

within the UI with
security.
Schedules/Service Window support - For customers taking advantage of schedules and
service windows in BizTalk server receive locations and send ports, BizTalk360 offers
better tooling and user interface. BizTalk360 addresses two main challenges when working
with service windows
- It helps administrators to clearly visualise the receive locations and
send ports, where the service window is enabled.
- It also clearly visualises the active window state (with a warning triangle),
giving clear guidance to the administrators about the current state, whether messages
will be processed etc.
Extended Monitoring Modules - The main focus of version 4.0 release is to extend the
monitoring capabilities keeping BizTalk server customers in mind. It addresses most of the
challenges faced by BizTalk server customers in setting up an enterprise class monitoring
solutions like SCOM/HP OpenView just for monitoring BizTalk environments. BizTalk360 comes
with the following monitoring plugins, which will be sufficient for majority of the
BizTalk server customers day to day monitoring requirements.
- Receive Locations
- Send Ports
- Orchestrations
- Service Instances (Suspended, Scheduled etc.)

- NT Services
- Event Logs
- System Resources (CPU, Memory)
- Disks
- SQL Jobs
- HTTP Endpoints (WCF, Web etc)

Saravana Kumar (founder, CTO) said, "Our objective is to help every single BizTalk
Server customer in the world; we are super focused on delivering tailored solutions that
will enhance the day to day operation/administration/monitoring of customers BizTalk
environments. We wanted to reduce the number of tools the support people need to use to
