As we get closer to our initial release date, I wanted to put together a preliminary feature set for the product. Service Broker is a rich and flexible architecture, so what we are attempting to do is separate some of the basic object creation from some of the more interesting application building functionality.
Both standard and professional editions will have basic creation features i.e. CREATE SERVICE, CREATE QUEUE, etc., as well as ALTER functionality. Plus, they will each be able to configure service broker.
Some of the more advanced options will come in the professional edition. Things like "Common Task Automation" and "Poison Message Detection and Removal". These would include deactivating Service Broker message delivery, pausing service broker networking and configuring initiating and targeting service security.
An important part of building service broker applications is the monitoring of the services. The professional edition will supply some basic monitoring features, performance monitoring and event tracing.
As I said earlier, this is a preliminary sketch of the features we hope to include in the coming release of Service Broker Assistant, but check back for more updates as the release approaches.
FYI: We are still targeting late Q2 for the release :)
