This error got me stumped for a bit… The solution was quite simple but caused a few further grey hairs so I will share here how I resolved this annoyance! I was hosting a WCF solution in Visual Studio (for testing and debugging purposes) and calling it from a forms application. Things were going well […]

Once you have created a Azure IaaS machine using the BizTalk Server 2013 Developer Azure Gallery Image, there is still a bit off configuration that needs to be done:
This is what your new Desktop will look like
Below are Install instruction specific to this Azure Gallery Image and my method of configuration, see the BizTalk 2013 Installation guides for complete installation instructions
Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and verify the SQL Server Name:
Update the SQL Server name to the name you gave your image:
using script:
sp_dropserver ; GO sp_addserver , local; GO
.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }
Example:
Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager, Verify the SQL Server Agent is set to Manual
Right Click on the SQL Server Agent and Select Properties
Click the Service Tab
Click the Start Mode and Select Automatic, Click OK
Right Click on SQL Server Agent, Click Start
Verify the SQL Server Agent is Running
In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, Disable Shared Memory for both 32 and 64 Client
In Protocols for MSSQLSERVER, enable Named Pipes and TCP/IP and disable Shared Memory
Restart SQL Server to complete changes
Double Click on Configuration – Shortcut on the desktop, enter User Name and Password, Click Configure
Click Next, Wait for Configuration to Complete
Check the Launch Custom Configuration, if needed, Click Finish
From c:\BizTalkServer2013_Developer run Setup.exe, Select Install BizTalk Adapters
Install Microsoft WCF LOB Adapter SDK, by Clicking the Link and following the Wizard
Install Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack, by Clicking the Link and following the Wizard
Install Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack(x64), by Clicking the Link and following the Wizard
Install Microsoft BizTalk Adapters for Enterprise Applications (if required), by Clicking the Link and following the Wizard
Exit when complete, Add New Adapters in the Adapters section of the Platform Setting in the BizTalk Server Administration Console
From c:\BizTalkServer2013_Developer run Setup.exe, Select Install BizTalk ESB Toolkit, follow the wizard
Select the ESB Configuration from the Windows Start Screen, Enter the Database Server (name of your machine), the User Account and Password and Click ESB BizTalk Applications
Check the Enable ESB Core Components in the BizTalk Server and Click Apply Configuration
On a developer machine I typically set all the BizTalk Databases to simple recover mode so I don’t have to configure the BizTalk Server Backup Job
To keep the developer machine clean I also use the following script to just purge the DTA (Tacking) Database, This keeps 10 days of Tracking Data
declare @dtLastBackup datetime set @dtLastBackup = GetUTCDate() exec dtasp_PurgeTrackingDatabase 1, 10, 11, @dtLastBackup
finished the basic Then Enable the DTA Purge and Archive Job
This finished the basic configuration with a few extra, if you are using BizTalk Unit, BTDF or any other tools, you will need to install them now.
I hope this instruction and screen shots help you get your BizTalk Server 2013 Developer Azure Gallery Image up and running smoothly

On May 27th-29th, in San Francisco, MuleSoft is hosting one of the largest integration events of the year called Connect. There is an impressive list of speakers including:
I am fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in the event. I am speaking in the Insurance track and also co-presenting on Integrating heterogeneous environments.
In the Integrating heterogeneous environments session will be demonstrating some of the investments that MuleSoft has been making in the area of Microsoft integration and more specifically some of the work we have been doing with WCF and .Net.
Without giving up too many details, there will be a healthy dose of RAML, APIs, SalesForce, .Net, REST/JSON, WCF and Mobile in the demos.
So if you haven’t signed up, there are still some spots available. You can do so here.
Today I was migrating a project from BizTalk 2010 to BizTalk 2013. I have done this several times so I wasn’t expecting any problems. But today I had some problems with the combination of transformations and Booleans.

How to create an itinerary is well documented but what is the best way to test your itinerary? In a production environment you normally have an On-Ramp that gets the itinerary from the Itinerary Store database so you first have to create a Receive Port with a Receive Location and you also have to configure the Pipeline with the Itinerary name or Business Rule Policy. It’s no rocket science but if you just want to test the itinerary you don’t want to do all those steps. Luckily you don’t have to because the ESB Toolkit comes with four types of Web-Based Itinerary On-Ramps. These On-Ramps were created at the installation of the ESB Toolkit and are designed to receive any XML message. Note that these On-Ramps are ideal for testing but are less suited for a production environment because the message is described with an anyType Type in the WSDL and most of the clients require a typed message.
Web-Based Itinerary On-Ramps in ESB Toolkit:
One-way ASMX
One-way WCF
Request/Response ASMX
Request/Response WCF
The ASMX on-ramps expect the ESB itinerary content in the SOAP header. You have two kind of WCF on-ramps. One that expects a reference to the ESB itinerary in the SOAP header and the Generic WCF on-ramp that expects only the request message. In a production environment you only want to sent the message but for testing it’s more convenient to also send the itinerary with the message because in that case you don’t have to configure the Pipeline in the Receive Location and you don’t have to deploy the itinerary to the Itinerary Store database.
The ESB Toolkit also comes with a Itinerary Test Client tool to test itineraries. It’s provided as a sample so to use it you first have to uncompress the ESBSource.zip file from the installation folder into the C:\Projects\Microsoft.Practices.ESB folder. In “..\Source\Samples\Itinerary\Source\ESB.Itinerary.Test” is the tool located.
Exporting the itinerary as XML enables you to test the itinerary using the Itinerary Test Client.
In the Itinerary Model properties window:
To test an itinerary using the Itinerary Test Client:
’
Note that when you send a message to an On-Ramp, you get the following message box. This only means that the message is successfully sent and not that it’s successfully processed by BizTalk!
Have fun with testing!

Oh joy! Finally, Microsoft has had the time to create a pre-setup image of BizTalk 2013 Developer edition in the Azure portal. If you’re like me, you often create a set of Azure VMs running BizTalk, up until now in order to “save” money and not running a production type VM of BizTalk you had […]

Stephen W. Thomas has just told me that Microsoft has released the BizTalk 2013 Developer Image in the Azure Virtual Machine Gallery for MSDN subscribers, at first I could not see it, but it only show for MSDN connected subscriptions, so if you have any non MSDN subscriptions, you must un-check them and they create a new virtual machine and you will see the developer image
Now to go off and create one to see if it has everything I expect to be in it.
Microsoft announced today the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) of BizTalk Server 2013 R2, with and expected General Availability (GA) in June.
From the Microsoft Announcement:
For over a decade, Microsoft customers and partners have deployed thousands of mission-critical integration solutions using BizTalk. Microsoft’s latest integration platform, including BizTalk Server 2013 R2, delivers improvements in performance, reliability, and functionality.
