1. Problem
You want to set throttles,
thresholds, tracking, polling intervals, and other systemwide settings
that will be used to optimize and control processes running within
BizTalk.
2. Solution
Prior to BizTalk 2010,
configuring core settings was done through a variety of methods,
including manually setting registry keys. Now, the BizTalk Settings
Dashboard has been introduced. To access this dashboard, take the
following steps:
Open the BizTalk Administration Console.
Right-click
the BizTalk Server Group, and select Settings. In the BizTalk Settings
Dashboard that opens, you will notice a variety of properties that can
be set (see Figure 1).
3. How It Works
A great deal of
performance tuning is available through the use of the BizTalk Settings
Dashboard. It centralizes all of the throttles, timeouts, thread
handling, and other functionality that used to be manually configured.
Take a look at the different properties available prior to deployment,
and become familiar with the settings in order to better support your
BizTalk environment.
