How to use cache in BizTalk server.

plz h

There are many ways Caching can be implemented.

Using Enterprise library caching, I have used it many times. You can access the enterprise library from a helper class which can be used in BizTalk artefacts. Refer:

EnterpriseLibrary

Introduction to the Caching Application Block

Using static classes and methods

Refer Saravanas blog: http://www.digitaldeposit.net/blog/2007/06/implement-caching-for-your-biztalk.html

Refer here for discussion about the concept: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/56128df9-f811-471c-afac-d4c9fc48052b/biztalk-caching-mechanisms

Can you explain what you're trying to cache?

There are many techniques available to the .Net stack so we'd need some more detail before offering any advice.

Hi Naresh,

Your image is not attached properly. We are not able to see the error to help you. Can you provide the error and event log entry for the error?

Before you go any further, please describe what you're trying to 'cache' and what problem you are trying to solve. Even though EL has a Caching Block, it may not be suitable for your needs.

The BizTalk MessageBox is the persistence store for messages and workflows, so you might use it without any additional tools. It could be the singleton orchestration for example.
