Ishai I don't know about everyone else, but so far what I've seen of the BDC looks much like what could be done through data views using Front Page 2003. I'm sure it does more than that (I've heard it being used to extend the user profile import process for instance), but I think it is probably quite misunderstood still. For instance, I remember reading that it was capable of supporting bi-directional updates ... is that true, and if so, what are the constraints to this? Otherwise, surely something that is just read-only querying tool doesn't constitute "Business Data Connectivity" ... I work predominantly with Microsoft ILM, and would like to better understand where a BDC approach is favourable to an ILM-driven provisioning/synchronisation approach. I prescribe to a "horses for courses" approach with these things, and what I am looking for is an honest assessment and greater understanding of its strengths and weaknesses over the alternatives (which would also include BizTalk). I would like to see some practical real-world examples of how it meets real business requirements, and is not just a sexy feature that is another "solution waiting to find a problem". Cheers Bob

I don't know how advanced the presentation is going to be, but for what ive done so far I have done everything by hand. So would be keen to see how easy the tools are that were released recently to create the bdc apps using the gui. Perhaps some possible integration with dynamics sl/crm or similar would be useful also and maybe some things that is out of the ordinary J From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ishai Sagi Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 2:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] Teched BDC presentation Hello everyone, I thought I may try something new this year, and ask people what they expect from the presentation before I start working on it. I am presenting with an American MVP about the BDC - a level 400 presentation. What would you want to see in that presentation? I am leaving this as an open question because I do not want to limit your thinking - just shoot me what would make you happy to see. After all, the people in this list are the most likely to come see the presentation! Thanks!
