There is a ton of online documentation about Windows Azure VMs that advise that static IP addresses are not supported and that one must rely on dynamic IP addresses since Windows Azure VMs will hold onto those IP addresses for the lifetime of the VM. Take for example this article about deploying AD on a […]

My colleague Ian Hui figured out a problem that has had me scratching my head for the last two months and he has made me a very happy man. While porting unit tests using BizUnit for the BRE Pipeline Framework from BizTalk 2010 to BizTalk 2013 I encountered a System.BadImageFormatException exception with the following error […]

A few years ago Microsoft released the SSO Application Configuration MMC snap-in that allows you to add key/value pair configuration information to SSO applications that can be looked up by your BizTalk applications. Unfortunately those of you who have tried to use the MMC on a BizTalk 2013 environment would have noticed that while the […]

We’ve found a problem with the tracking on all of our ports in BizTalk. As well as the receive and send ports didn’t track any messages, although all proper tracking options were set according to the BizTalk admin console. However, when we did a binding export it only showed PipelineEvents as TrackingOption, so ServiceStartEnd andMessageSendReceive […]

In preparation for a talk I’m giving soon I thought I’d show a quick walkthrough of
setting up the newer BizTalk Services (preview) in Azure.
In order to setup BizTalk Services it helps to have the following
things created first (the BizTalk Services creation wizard will walk you creating
a few of them,
but it failed for me many times, so easier to create them prior)
The Access Control Services
Right – let’s walk through the BizTalk Services Creation Wizard.
Let’s fire up the Wizard and get grooving.
Wizard – Page 1
So farso good, opened up the wizard and filled in Page 1 details – note I decided
to create a SQL Server here (I’d actually forgotten the password of another one we
use)
It’s also important to note the Region – WEST US. (make sure that
whatever else you create is in that region as well, otherwise things might take *alot*
longer
than anticipated.
Wizard – Page 2
Time to hit NEXT Arrow – all pretty straight forward.
Wizard – Page 3
The Access Control Namespace was something I created earlier and the ManagementClient user
is an auto created user in ACS.
(I omitted the password here – but you get that from the ACS management portal).
Locations – all important.
Wizard – Page 4
Finally the SSL Certificate with the Expiry of no more than 5 years.
The important thing here is that clients will connect to BizTalk Services via TLS/SSL.
If this is a home grown cert – as this one is, keep in mind that clients will need
to
’trust’ this certificate.
Hit the tick and you’re on your way
Stay tuned for the next post where we turn this into something REAL! 🙂

This post is the twelfth in a weekly series intended to briefly spotlight those things that you need to know about new features in BizTalk Server 2013. This week’s post will be a little bit shorter than the rest so far, as I’m getting prepped for some last minute travel to teach our TFS 2012 […]

Today I encountered the following issue when I was trying to install an application into a new BizTalk Server environment: “An error occurred while attempting to install the BizTalk application: World Wide Web service (W3SVC) on host "localhost" not available. The following Windows component may not be installed: Application Server -> Internet Information Services (IIS) […]
