I was recently upgrading an existing BizTalk 2004 application to BizTalk 2006 and came across the BizTalk Scheduled Task Adapter. Initially I was fearful that it was going to be an issue during the upgrade, but was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it works in BizTalk 2006 as well as in the earlier 2004 version.
Using the adapter is a simple process requiring the adapter be installed and added to the BizTalk Adapters. New receive locations are then added and configured as Schedule adapters though the BizTalk Administration Console. It allows for scheduling of multiple tasks – in our case, creating messages – on a hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis. It can be imported and exported using binding files making for a simple deployment.
