First Day LEAP 2008 Redmond
















Yesterday I arrived at Redmond in the afternoon together with lots of other LEAP 2008 participants. A couple of them joined together and went to Seattle Needle and downtown. We had a nice meal at P F Changs and did some shopping.

Today here in Redmond LEAP started with a look into the future. A couple of sessions are setup ranging from architecture to technology. Most information is classified so I am not able to divulge that information. What I can tell is that most session are around new evolving technologies like DSP (automation of deploying server product like SQL Server and so on), Volta or Internet Service Bus. Latter one is already present as preview on http://labs.biztalk.net/ and presented during SOA & BPM Conference last November 2007 or have a look at this webcast on channel 9.























Tonight will have a nice evening with food, drink and playing billiards at House of Billiards in Bellevue.

I particularly enjoyed your post about social networking around SOA. I just got back from an event that I thought your readers might like to hear about, especially since it afforded me the opportunity to really network with people from all over the world.

Given that it’s still relatively unknown, I thought your readers could benefit from learning about ZapThink's Practical SOA series of events. They really try to take the focus off the hype and vendor product-pushing, and put it instead on the “brass tacks” of making SOA work.

The events are held all over the world, and focused on a number of industry and market sectors.

In addition, ZapThink’s offered a $50 discount if any of your readers register with the code GAFPSOA1.

I hope you consider it when you’re composing your next post, even just a mention. Feel free to visit www.zapthink.com/eventreg.html (or mention the link to your readers). I’m spreading the news now about it because I am hoping they can get more people there!

DTAP Strategy: Pricing and Licensing

Image
To implement BizTalk solutions it is a good practice to have an DTAP environment in place. DTAP stands for Development, Test, Acceptance and Production. Development and test environments are equal (mirrored) and same account for acceptance and production. Deploying DTAP environments is easy, because there are many factors influencing outcome of DTAP. One factor is pricing and licensing costs. BizTalk is available in different editions and since BizTalk depends on operating system and database there are some configuration options to. Here is an overview of possible configurations for DTAP environments, hence there is a nice BizTalk Feature Dependency Matrix. Besides features, there are non-functional requirements to reckon with like fail-over, availability and scalability. On Microsoft Pricing and Licensing FAQ section of BizTalk I found this on non functional side. In a large BizTalk Server 2006 R2 deployment, two key considerations ensure redundancy in all areas of the architect

Table Operation on Oracle 11g XE with OracleDbBinding

Image
Last year I did a post on table operations on SQL Server Table with WCF-SQL Adapter from BizTalk on SQL. Now I like to do similar thing on table in Oracle 11g Express database using the Oracle Binding from BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010. Oracle 11g Express Edition is available through OTN. For downloading software you will need to have an account! It is important that when accessing Oracle you have appropriate client installed. This can sometimes be a hassle if you do not know, which client you need. When you trying to connect to Oracle you will get error messages like: Connecting to the LOB system has failed. Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.111.7.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.. This can be pretty annoying, but there is documentation that can help you going the right direction. In installation documentation I read that supported versions are: Oracle d

Integration, the community blasting into 2017!

Image
In the past, now and tomorrow I will keep saying that integration is relevant, even in this day and age of digitalization. Integration professionals will play an essential role in providing connectivity between systems, devices and services. Integration drives the digitalization forward by connecting everything with anything. Integration skills are still in demand. A LinkedIn study revealed a top 10 with integration and middleware in top 5 with Cloud, Data Science, UX and Web. And the expectation for 2017 is that this will be similar. Our toolbox is expanding from on premise tooling to cloud services; we have WCF, BizTalk Server, MSMQ to Logic Apps, API Management and Service Bus. Formats ranging from flat file, EDI, XML to JSON, several protocols open and proprietary, tooling from mappers to BizTalk360. It can be challenging yet much more exciting. My conclusion is more options, more fun, at least in my view. In February I, will be travellin
