Commerce Gateway with multiple internal companies

pdj

I'm currently considering Commerce Gateway and BizTalk as a solution for a new customer, however I have few questions.

The customer is having multiple Companies in NAV - can a single BizTalk server support that, or does it need a BizTalk server per Company?

Commerce Gateway seems to be a rather low priority of Microsoft, since almost nothing has happened to the module for a long time. Is it considered likely that is going to "expired" and removed in NAV7 og NAV8? (Just like Commerce Portal and Employee Portal etc were)

hi pdj,

you can use a single Biztalk-Server to serve all companies but you need one NAS ( Navision Application Server ) for each Company in Navision.

In the BizTalk-Solution you have to use filtering on incoming messages to route them to the correct company
( within the orchestration Receive Port you need to specify filters on incoming messages )

Thanks. I am aware of the need for multiple NAS Services.

I don't like the very tight integration CG has to BTS, which I also guess is the reason BTS2010 isn't supported yet. I feared it made it impossible for having multiple companies integration to it.
