Second Day LEAP 2008 Redmond















Second day LEAP 2008 in Redmond on Microsoft Campus inside their Conference Center. It kicked off with Dan Rasmus, director of Information Work Vision about 'The new World of Work'. He is a futurist and you will information about his on windows live. His session went into four central themes; One world of business, Always on, always connected, transparent organizations, and workforce evolution. Book one might like read around the subject is Daniel Pink's 'A whole new mind'. I am not going to delve into the themes here, because that will lead to a very lengthy post. So there I suggest to visit Dan's live space or get Daniel pink's book. Another thing to look at is people ready info at Microsoft.

Next session Kim Cameron Architect of Identity with 'Why claims will change everything'. He is an authority on identity at Microsoft and in the world. His talk about identity is comparable of one I found on the internet. Kim did a inspiring talk and makes one think about identity. If you browse on the internet more can be found if you search on 'Why claims will change everything’. For me it gave me more background knowledge about Cardspace too and looking back to a presentation given by Erik van de Ven during DevDays 2007. Here you see Willem Boere having a discussion with Kim about what makes a human unique, since it can have more roles (or faces). Rest of the day you will find in my next post.

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
