Azure Service Bus EAI/EDI December 2011 CTP – EAI Oracle

Image
In my previous post I blogged about release of Azure Service Bus EAI/EDI December 2011 CTP   last Friday and now I like to demonstrate an EAI solution involving Oracle. First I discuss the installation, labs environment, then the solution setup, deployment and test. Installation Installation of Azure Service Bus EAI/EDI 2011 CTP requires attention as I found out the hard way   and I advice to carefully read and study the installation article on MSDN. Previous installed SDK need to be removed . If you fail to do so you will receive error like below. Note: You can run the RelayConfigurationInstaller.exe tool (which shipped with the previous versions of the Windows Azure AppFabric SDK) with the /u option to remove the WCF Extensions from machine.config. Labs Environment After you’ve installed the SDK and ServiceConnect both available through here , you can sign in to the labs environment using a Windows Live ID. Once you signed in you need to click AppFabric position left ha

Windows Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs

Microsoft today has put Windows Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs on its Windows Azure Platform . These labs provides integration capabilities for the Windows Azure Platform to extend on-premises applications to the cloud, provides rich messaging endpoints on the cloud to process and transform the messages, and helps organizations integrate with disparate applications, both on cloud and on-premises. In other words, Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs provides common integration capabilities (e.g. bridges, transforms, B2B messaging) on Windows Azure Service Bus. Below you find list of resources (taken from Windows Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs - December 2011 Release page ): Installing the Windows Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs - December 2011 Supplies details about what is required to properly install and run Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs.

BizTalk Server 2010 R2: Continuing story….

Image
Last year communication of BizTalk has been a little cloudy. Will it be discontinued, will it be dead. Richard blogged on the BizTalk future story, and Tony kept discussion very lively with his talk on World Partner Conference this year. In the roadmap on Microsoft BizTalk site a vNext after 2010 was depicted. A new release has been announced through BizTalk Server Team Blog: BizTalk Server 2010 R2 . This is great news as people wondered when next release was due. This release will be delivered six months after Windows Server 8. To me it makes sense as the release will align not only with Server 8, but also VS 2011 and SQL Server 2012. Besides platform alignment other improvements have been announced like alignment with industry standards, adapter improvements, and more tighter integration with Azure. The release does not deviate much as what was shown on existing roadmap. Exact dates of release of BizTalk Server 2010 R2 are not disclosed yet. I think when it will be release it

BizTalk360 Another release more capabilities: Version 3.1

BizTalk360 evolves to be a more and more mature product. In past I and other BizTalk MVP’s have written stories on this monitoring product (I used to call it a tool, but it has gone that stage it’s a product and a very good one). I have been impressed by it since the first time it almost a year ago. On Saravana’s blog you find a detailed overview what is new in this 3.1 release. On my VM I have 2.5.790.0 version, which I uninstalled before installing the 3.1.335.0 version i.e. public beta. And I must say this was an easy process lasting only a few minutes. Only thing I needed to do is deleted the BizTalk360 database in my SQL Server database.The msi installer has been improved . One of the new feature is the graphical end-to-end message flow viewer . I tested this by enabling tracking in one of my orchestrations. I enabled all tracking options in ports and orchestration. I ran a message through orchestration and went to BizTalk360 Tracking Data Queries and click pipeline (XmlReceiv
