Receive Location "Address should be unique"

This is another annoying thing about BTS2004 WSSLib I have discovered.

You cannot have two receive locations with the same URI. The problem being that the view field is not included in the URI! So if you have two receive location for the same document library but different view it will not work.

I have made it work in my demo by using /">http:/// in one of them and http://localhost in the other. Stupid but it works ...

The question now is: How will I make it work in production? Can I create another URI that points to the same libary?

WSSLib raised an error

I had a working demo with BTS 2004, InfoPath and WSS. The WSS site contains 3 views based on filters on a field from the InfoPath form.

After playing around with it for a while I re-published the InfoPath form to the WSS site because I had done some changes and the filters on the WSS views disappeared (because the field on which they were based was republished). This caused the following anyoing error:

The adapter "WSSLib" raised an error message.
Details "Server was unable to process request. --> Cannot complete this action.
Please try again. --> Cannot complete this action.
Please try again.".

It took me ages to get rid of it! Putting back the filters did not work. I checked all results returned by google and nothing worked. In the end, I deleted the receive locations (I had not noticed they were still enabled and thus generating the error) and created them again: YES! It worked!

Conclusion: If your demo works and you have to show it to a potential client in two days, do not play with it!

Thank you NewsGator!

It has been confirmed: I am going to Redmond for the BPI&W conference at MSFT!

I think I'm stressing a bit about it: Tonight I dram I had gone to the US and forgot my computer. I was happy to wake up and realize it was only a dream.

Anyway since then I am checking everything I can find on BTS2006 and WWF (and a little bit of WCF -- but it is more tedious). In the end, I was checking so many blogs/sites that I could not keep up to date, so I decided to use an RSS aggregator.

Unfortunately, stand-alone RSS aggregators don't work in the office (probably has to do with security), so I have to use a web-based one (I chose NewsGator but I would have preferred BlogExpress - it looks really cool).

Big challenges coming up

I came back from holidays on Wednesday to find out that during boring, relax August many things had happend. Well, actually one: several people leaving the company and, most importantly, Mr. FS!!! What will I do without him? Well, it turns out this is my big opportunity because I will have to take up his duties. This is indeed a big challenge, for which I am thankful but also afraid.

A most unexpected consequence is that I will probably (I'd say 80% chance) be going to Redmond, WA to MSFT HQ for a the Business Process Integration & Workflow Conference! WOA! I've never been to the US before!!! This is the reason why I am deep into workflow articles and tools at present. Wish me luck!
