New features of Broker?

Dear all,

I just got Katmai installed with BOL. But can't find anything useful for SB, i.e. What's New. I understand the doc team must be working on it now. Could anyone tell me:

1. Is Katmai SB still the ver. 1 of SB, or ver. 2?

2. Does Management Studio do more UI support for SB?

3. Will Katmai SB support the B2C scenario, i.e. Laptop behind NATs?

Best regards,

dong

1. Is Katmai SB still the ver. 1 of SB, or ver. 2?

I am not sure exactly what you mean by this question but Katmai is the second version of Sql Server that contains Service Broker. Sql 2005 was the first version that contained support for Service Broker.

2. Does Management Studio do more UI support for SB?

We do have plans to do more for Service Broker in the Management Studio UI in Katmai but that won't be coming until a later CTP.

3. Will Katmai SB support the B2C scenario, i.e. Laptop behind NATs?

Katmai will not have any new features to support Broker behind firewalls. I will send another post on the Service Broker Katmai features
