Oracle installer–do you know it’s 2012 already?!

 

The installer starts with the most ‘obvious’ check ever, we need at least 256 colors…can’t even remember a videogame in the Dos Era that did that….

Colors

Then the PATH variable is too long…

Path

I guess there is some room for minor improvements…

 

Please consider that I’m just posting this to free my mind and allowing it to relax.

BizTalk Pub/sub vs Topics based routing–discussion

My colleagues and I had a brief discussion about the subject ‘Topics’ and what it brings… Do you all agree/disagree with the following statement: topic-based pub-sub messaging doesn’t really exist in BizTalk “In my opinion; I disagree, as BizTalk offers the following 'out-of-the-box' • Message Routing (f.e build in context properties like message type, trading partner, operation etc) • Content Routing (f.e. promoted properties, message inspection in orchestrations/pipelines icw orchestration logic)” My colleague Rene Brauwers Here my 2 cents….

Making any change to this schema will g...
