One of the things that I volunteered for in my job as Product Manager at Tier 3 was the creation of release notes for our regular cloud software updates. It helps me stay up to date by seeing exactly what we’re pushing out. Lately we’ve been using Trello, the sweet project collaboration from Fog Creek […]

With Hyper-V now available on Win8 it’s more important than ever.
The more votes…the more importance this issue has.
Let’s get it in there.
p.s. I’m aware of the ‘workarounds’ after having to plug 183 usb devices into a virtual
environment. Hours I’ll never get back

I recently did a presentation (link here) on the topic of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for my previous employer and thought that I’d share the application I built for the demonstration. While I’ve played with Node.js a bit before, I thought I’d keep digging in and see why @adron won’t shut up about it. I also figured […]

We have a simple PS script to switch Auto-Start on for WCF services running under AppFabric 1.1:
Import-Module ApplicationServer
Set-ASApplication -SiteName “Default Web Site” -VirtualPath “/x.y.z” -AutoStartMode “All” -EnableApplicationPool
Runs fine, unless you are running it from an MSBuild task:
<Target Name=“Setup“>
<Exec ContinueOnError=“false“ Command=‘powershell.exe “$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\SetupAppFabric.ps1”‘ WorkingDirectory=‘$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)‘ />
</Target>
, and running MSBuild from the x86 framework on an x64 environment. We get this error:
Set-ASApplication : AppFabric configuration cmdlets require AppFabric Server Worker to be installed on the local machine in order to configure the local WCF and WF services. If you need to administer WCF and WF services locally, install the Worker component and try again. If you need to administer WCF and WF services remotely, use PowerShell remoting features to connect to the remote machine. … + FullyQualifiedErrorId : AppFabricNotInstalled,Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Management.Commands.SetASApplicationCmdlet
The fix is to run MSBuild from the x64 framework (as Callum says), which will run PowerShell from x64 and load up the AppFabric dependencies correctly. But to complicate things, that broke some of our other tasks that required the x86 environment, so we ended up running the build in x86 and shelling out to x64 just for the AppFabric stuff:
<Target Name=“Setup“>
<!–AppFabric cmdlets need PS2 run in x64 env; other build tasks need x86, so shell out to x64 for this:->
<Exec Command=‘%SystemDrive%\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe “$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Build.proj” /t:SetupAppFabric‘/>
</Target>
<Target Name=“SetupAppFabric“>
<Exec ContinueOnError=“false“ Command=’powershell.exe “$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\SetupAppFabric.ps1″‘WorkingDirectory=‘$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)‘ />
</Target>
Ugly, but no way around it till our other tasks are x64-compatible.
Oh, and be sure to set your execution policy in the x86 and x64 PowerShell environments if you are running scripts in both.
Our new 5.0 feature coming in October 2012 release.
The idea behind process monitoring is simple, you are expected to receive certain amount of messages via your receive location or expected to send certain amount of messages via your send port in your BizTalk environment. If that doesn?t happen then there is a business implication and someone needs to be notified. That?s exactly what process monitoring all about.
Let?s take a look at some example scenarios.
BizTalk360 process monitoring is designed to help customers tackle the above scenarios, without any custom development. You can configure it within few minutes, you can read the full story and detailed options in our blog. Sample screen shot below:

On August the 28th I will have my first speaking engagement outside Logica, at the Swedish BizTalk User Group.
As a long time attendee I have seen a lot of speakers and I am sure I will do a fair job of it. The topic is “All the small things”, which will try to cover a lot of little hints, tips and tricks when developing BizTalk solutions or running BizTalk.
It will not be an architectural talk but rather a Level 300 aimed at developers. “Tickets” will be available soon.
