Brian Loesgen has a post on his blog describing an issue he ran into performing a clean build of BizTalk Server 2013 and ESB Toolkit 2.2, where the Itinerary Designer extension is not registered in Visual Studio 2012 after the ESB Toolkit 2.2 installation step. I experienced this also so it may be more widespread […]

It’s gotten easy to publish web applications to the cloud, but the last thing you want to do is establish unique authentication schemes for each one. At some point, your users will be stuck with a mountain of passwords, or, end up reusing passwords everywhere. Not good. Instead, what about extending your existing corporate identity […]

Navigating through a list or library with dozens or hundreds of items or folders can be a tedious task. There are a few ways to make it easier to find the information you are looking for. One unique way is to build a rolodex to filter the list items conveniently.
The rolodex is configured by using […]

You may have received this kind of e-mail and wonder if you have already VM Roles deployed. There are good chances the answer is no, but let’s check.
Dear Customer,
The Windows Azure VM Role preview is being retired on May 15. Please transition to Windows Azure Virtual Machines, and delete your VM Role preview instances as soon as possible.
Thank you for participating in the preview program for the Windows Azure VM Role. Since we started the preview program, we have learned a lot about your needs and use cases. Your feedback and insights have helped fine-tune our approach to infrastructure services. We’ve directed all of that feedback into the design of Windows Azure Virtual Machines, the evolution of VM Role.
On April 16, 2013, we announced the general availability of Windows Azure Virtual Machines. Virtual Machines provides on-demand scalable compute resources to meet your growing business needs and can extend your existing infrastructure and apps into the cloud. With the general availability of Windows Azure Virtual Machines we are retiring the VM Role preview.
ACTION REQUIRED
Please migrate from VM Role to Virtual Machines, and delete your running instances of VM Role as soon as possible. You can these follow these instructions to migrate to Virtual Machines.
Here are important dates to note:Starting May 15, 2013, calls to create new VM Role deployments will fail.
On May 31, 2013, all running VM Role instances will be deleted.
Please note that you will continue to be billed for your VM Role consumption until your running instances are deleted.
Thank you for participating in the VM Role preview program and shaping the future of Windows Azure Virtual machines! You can find more information on Windows Azure Virtual Machines here.
Thank you,
Windows Azure Team
A simple way to check whether you have VM Roles or not is to use the previous portal (the one in Silverlight) which is available at https://windows.azure.com/. From the new portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com) you can choose previous portal in the menu.
From the main page, click on Hosted Services, Storage Accounts & CDN
and VM Images
If you have a VM Role image, this looks like this
In my case, it is not instanciated as In use is False (I haven’t used VM Roles for years, I think; this image was created in March 2011!), and I don’t have anything to do.

I didn’t find any good reference on this so though of documenting the steps that worked for me
Step 1: Go to 64-bit
Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) Downloads page and download 64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 5 (11.2.0.3.20)
Xcopy for Windows x64
Step 2: Unzip the file downloaded in Step 1 it to a folder location.
Step 3: Create a folder to install Oracle Client. I created C:\Oracle\
Background
The requirement for a domain trust relationship depends on how a SharePoint Farm is configured, the SharePoint Farm could either reside in a perimeter network (or hosted environment), or the SharePoint Farm could be split between a perimeter network and the internal network.
Scenario
In this post we will assume a simple SharePoint Extranet where a SharePoint […]

If you are planning to attend TechEd North America this June in New Orleans, LA and are looking for information on BizTalk Server running in Windows Azure IaaS then my session is for you!
With the general release of Windows Azure IaaS and BizTalk 2013 Pay-Per-Hour pricing yesterday I figured now is a great time to plug my session. The abstract is below.
Abstract: This session looks at the architecture of three new integration infrastructure scenarios that are made possible with BizTalk Server 2013 on Windows Azure IaaS. These scenarios include: Small Scale All Cloud, Hybrid Cloud Burst, and Near-Infinite Scale All Cloud. This session walks through each scenario in detail and explains the best use for each, including a cost analysis. Demos are provided to show key aspects of each scenario.
I’m excited about the opportunity to get to speak again at TechEd. My last TechEd presentation was in 2007 covering BizTalk Orchestrations.
One thing to note about the speakers this year at TechEd, I see both a Stephen Thomas and a Steve Thomas. How funny! Make sure if you want to learn more about BizTalk you attend the Stephen Thomas session – although I’m sure the other Thomas’s sessions will be good as well.
Look forward to seeing you at TechEd!
