Allow the ability to amend Service Windows on Receive Locations
We have several receive locations which have an overnight window. When we come in first thing in the morning and find suspended messages related to those location, we need to disable the service window, re drop the files it has to pick up, wait until it has consumed the files then turn the window back on.
Our currently workflow involves logging onto our BizTalk server, opening the admin console, navigating the tree to the correct receive location, opening it, disable the window, wait for the files to play through, then enable it again.
We would love to remove the need…

Quick filter - textbox for searching in applications
Quick filter for searching in applications.
When you have many applications in your BizTalk environment you are forced to scroll down to the bottom of the page and use pagination in order to view next applications. I think it would be a great idea to have a textbox at the beginning of the page where you can type in parts of your application name or description to filter your list.In my case I currently have 5 pages to scroll thru, not very user friendly.

Update Custom Notification Channel DLL
It is currently possible to change the name of a custom notification channel when clicking edit. It would be handy to be able to update the DLL for that notification channel. If a new DLL is uploaded it could check whether it differs from the current DLL content saved in the database.
This way it is possible to update a channel without having to remove it so we don't lose all our alarm configurations.5 votesThis feature has come as part of the version 8.9.5 release. Sing up to our newsletter to be notified of upcoming releases
