BizTalk Summit 2013

This year another BizTalk Summit will take place. A recollection of last year’s event is described in a blog post by Michael Stephenson.

The 2-day conference last year the was held in December on the Microsoft Campus. It was followed up by BizTalk conference in January in Amsterdam, London and Stockholm.  Both the US and European BizTalk events were successful. Each with over a 100 or 200 participants. Microsoft Products was present at each of the events, speaking and engaging the community .

The BizTalk Summit this year will follow directly after the MVP Summit and the Registration of this event is now open!

The event is focused on Microsoft Integration technologies, which includes BizTalk Server, the Windows Azure BizTalk Services, and the Windows Azure Service Bus. During the summit you can expect presentations, discussions, and labs to help you understand Microsoft's Integration strategy and roadmap. Since there will quite a few Microsoft Integration MVP (I expected a dozen or so) and Microsoft Product Group members present the discussion part will be interesting.

Event is November 21-22, intended for Integration Architects and SMEs, MVPs, BizTalk Insiders, Partners, Customers, and Microsoft Integration specialists. It will be hosted at the Fairmont Hotel, Downtown Seattle.

I can recommend the following hotels:
I am looking forward to attend this event as I am very interested to hear about the progress made with Windows Azure BizTalk Services, the Windows Azure Service Bus and the future roadmap of BizTalk Server itself. In case you are coming over, I am looking forward to meet you too.

Cheers,

Steef-Jan

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
