Transactions in BizTalk Server 2004 Orchestrations
Charles Young (subscribed!) posts a nice article about Orchestration transactions in BizTalk Server 2004:
BizTalk 2004 supports long-running and atomic transactions within Orchestrations. The model has changed a bit from earlier versions, and atomic transactions are no longer based on DTC transactions by default. This article explains some of the features of transactions, and also speculates about the exact behaviour of 'batched' atomic transactions - a subject that is currently very opaque due to a lack of documentation.
There are quite a lot of intresting BizTalk stuff on his blog, nice work Charles!
