What a great personal and professional start of 2015. Once again I’m delighted to share that I was renewed, for the 5th straight year, as Microsoft Integration MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional). I would like to thank to all my blog readers, friends, members of BizTalk Community, to my fellow Microsoft Integration MVP’s: Michael Stephenson, […]

So far in this blog series, I’ve taken a look at how to provision and scale servers using five leading cloud providers. Now, I want to dig into support for “Day 2 operations” like troubleshooting, reactive or proactive maintenance, billing,… Read More ›

It has now been just over a week since I attended the Integrate 2014 Conference at Building 92 on Microsoft’s Redmond Campus along with 2 other Mexia colleges Grant Samuels and Dan Toomey.
We were all set to hear about Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services 2.0, but from Scott Guthrie’s Keynote it was obvious we were going to get a different message, Integration needs to be a core component across all of Azure (and on premises with the Azure Pack for Windows Server 2012 R2). To that end we now have MicroServices (not an official name, but what everyone was referring to it as), more details about MicroServices later in my post. I think this concept of having integration across all of Azure is a good thing, BizTalk Services was more of a integration vertical in Azure where the vision for integration is a horizontal across all of the Azure technologies.
There will be a public preview of the new MicroServices in Q1 2015, expecting this to be early March 2015.
Things that I know about MicroServices so far:
Things that I don’t know about MicroServices so far:
During the Conference there were several session about MicroServices covering Business Rules, EAI and EDI the slides are available here: http://integrate2014.com/sessions/
For those that think MABS 1.0 is dead, they made it perfectly clear, MABS 1.0 is still a viable supported platform for it’s targeted workload, primarily EDI. To reinforces this, there was a presentation by Microsoft IT about their on-going migration from BizTalk Server to MABS, which is an extremely large migration.
Also, during Integrate 2014 there was also a couple of presentations on BizTalk Server where Microsoft confirmed the 2015 release of BizTalk Server, but there were few details on what would be in the 2015 release, other than BizTalk Server will continue to be the tool of choice in a Hybrid Integration Scenario. There was also a presentation about HCA health care’s use of BizTalk Server with some very impressive numbers of around 60 million message processed per day on a BizTalk Server configuration that consists of BizTalk Server 2010 and 2013 in 5 groups of 7 servers each (4 CPU with 16GB of RAM)
I would also like to thank BizTalk 360 and all the sponsors for making this great event possible.
Stay tune for more details around MicroServices
Lors de l’Azure Camp du 9 décembre dernier, j’ai eu l’occasion de montrer quelques démos autour des objets connectés et de Big Data.
Je publie ici les vidéos de secours que j’avais préparées. Ce sont des versions un peu plus longues que ce que j’ai pu présenter.
Vous trouverez la vidéo de la session complète sur le sujet à http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Microsoft-Azure-France/Azure-Camp-9-DEC-2014-Lambda-Architecture
Mais revenons aux démos qui tournent autour de l’architecture suivante:
La première vidéo montre une vue d’ensemble de l’ingestion, du traitement en Storm et de la dataviz sans entrer dans le détail de la façon dont c’est fait.
Ensuite, on passe à Storm dans HDInsight:
puis à la DataViz en HTML5 et Excel avec d3js et SignalR:
Dans la démo Hortonworks, je montre comment on peut déployer la même topologie Storm sur un cluster Hadoop HDP fait de VMs linux installées initialement avec l’assistant de la markerplace Azure. On voit aussi comment on peut traiter les logs stockés dans le blob storage.
Ensuite, on montre qu’on peut aussi créer un cluster Cloudera, également via l’assistant de la marketplace Azure:
Arrivent ensuite les deux bases noSQL de la démo.
HBase:
et Datastax Enterprise / Cassandra en multi datacenter:

I will outline here some of my thoughts on Microsoft’s new venture in the EAI space, announced at the Integrate 2014 conference: the BizTalk Microservices Platform. I guess this could be called “BizTalk Services 2.0″. When I first heard the news, I was surprised. I didn’t attend the conference but had one eye on the […]

The beginning of december I visited the Microsoft Campus (Building 92) for the 3rd global BizTalk Summit, which was branded as Integrate2014. The event was organized this time by BizTalk360 along side with Microsoft itself and core partners like Quicklearn, Nevatech, Codit, and LogicalTech SysTalk. It was a three day event filled with numerous sessions by Microsoft themselves, a few MVP’s and
Hey folks, Something that has been bugging me for a while is to be able to set a bunch
of BizTalk services to ‘Automatic (Delayed)’ start type, cause as you’re aware when
you reboot a box (pretty much any box outside a class room lab) – all the biztalk
services will be stopped due to the underlying services taking a while.
Namely the ESSO service.
So I thought I’d write a batch file – yes batch! that doesn’t rely on libraries from
here, powershell modules from there and requiring .NET version 2020!
Here it is & enjoy
—– Batch to Set all BizTalk Services to Automatic (delay) —–
sc query state= all | find “SERVICE_NAME: BTSSvc” > %temp%\btssvc.txt
FOR /F “tokens=* delims=:” %%a IN (%temp%\btssvc.txt) DO call :sub “%%a”
:end
del /f %temp%\btssvc.txt
@echo Done.
exit /b
:sub
echo In Subroutine
@set svc=%1
set svc=”%svc:~15%
echo Configuring %svc%
sc config %svc% start= delayed-auto
