Since the introduction of .Net 4.0, Visual Studio 2012 has supported Web.Config transforms. That is you can publish a Web.Config file per solution configuration in Visual Studio. This is great if you are attempting to deploy to different environments that would require different settings such as Connection Strings or AppSettings. However, it is limited to […]

2013 was a big year for us in term of events: BizTalk Summit 2013 London, Oporto BizTalk Innovation Day, Bouvet Innovation Day and finally BizTalk Innovation Day Italy but we promise that 2014 would start even bigger and better! Nearly 200 attendees (an increase of 56% compared with the previous year), more than 100 different […]

I have been working recently with schemas containing <Any> elements. Luckily I don’t need to manipulate the <Any> contents much: to do so, the standard BizTalk functoids available in the mapper can’t be used and instead, given the range of the XML that can be expected in the <Any>, some extensive custom XSLT would be […]

One of the new features that was made available with v1.4.0 of the BRE Pipeline Framework (see this post for a summary of new features) was the ability to make use of XML based vocabulary definitions in the BRE execution policy called by the BRE Pipeline Framework pipeline component. The framework is also able to […]

En octobre dernier, j’ai eu l’occasion de montrer comment analyser des donn%u00e9es venant de logs Web et Twitter avec PIG et HIVE dans Hadoop, puis de croiser les r%u00e9sultats dans Excel, ce qui permet de d%u00e9cliner le r%u00e9sultat dans Power BI.
Je mets ici les diapos et les vid%u00e9os (les vid%u00e9os sont les vid%u00e9os de secours que j’avais, et non la pr%u00e9sentation live qui a %u00e9t%u00e9 faite, mais c’est %u00e9videmment tr%u00e8s proche).
Cela permet d’avoir une premi%u00e8re vision rapide de ce qu’on peut faire avec un cluster HDInsight. C’est un moyen tr%u00e8s abordable (autant en termes financiers que technique) de d%u00e9marrer avec Hadoop.
Les diapos compl%u00e8tes sont disponibles sur OneDrive.
La probl%u00e9matique:
Si vous voulez tester par vous-m%u00eame, vous pouvez aller %u00e0 http://aka.ms/tester-mon-azure o%u00f9 vous aurez 150 de ressources Windows Azure pour tester pendant 1 mois.
Voici les vid%u00e9os:

You may want to remove a storage account you’ve created and get a message like this one:
Storage account <mystorage> has container(s) which have an active image and/or disk artifacts. Ensure those artifacts are removed from the image repository before deleting this storage account.
Here is what you may want to check. In the management portal http://manage.windowsazure.com, Storage, <mystorage>, Containers, check the content of your containers, especially the “vhds” one which contains virtual hard disks by default. Here is an example of the portal with stockageazure3 instead of <mystorage>
By clicking on the arrow near vhds (or each any other container), you’ll find a list of the blobs inside the container. VHD are good candidates for lock, and we’ll see why in a minute.
Select a .vhd blob and click EDIT at the bottom of the screen
this will show you the lock:
So where do I unlock?
This is related to the way Virtual Machines Work in Windows Azure. The OS disk and data disks live in Windows Azure blob storage. Here is an image of that (here with Windows VMs, but this is very similar with Linux VMs):
So VHD blobs are virtual hard disks that may be used by virtual machines; Windows Azure doesn’t want you to remove a virtual machine disk without knwoing about it! The locks are handled by images, and disks, that you can find here:
for an image or a disk, you can see the referenced blob in the LOCATION column. Here is an example:
in this example, myCentoOSImage references the bueearwy.zbn201304031550350920.vhd blob in the vhds container of the northeurope2affstorage storage account. Thus the URI of http://northeurope2affstorage.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/bueearwy.zbn201304031550350920.vhd.
At the bottom of the screen, you can remove the image and optionally also remove the associated VHD:
Same for DISKS
A disk or an image may itself be locked by a virtual machine instance. In such a case, you may have to stop and remove the virtual machiane first.
For example, in the following screen shot, the benjguinu1 virtual machine holds the benjguinmisc-benjguinu1-0-201310042100440782 disk which locks itself the http://stockageazure2.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/benjguinmisc-benjguinu1-2013-10-04.vhd blob.
So we have
and you cannot remove the referenced blobs without removing the disks, images and VM involved in that chain.

Today I published a new update to my Viasfora extension for Visual Studio 2010-2013. One of the new features in this build is a text editor margin that could be useful to other fellow developers working on extending the Visual Studio Text Editor. One of the reasons why I implemented this was that I when […]

Read how a simple configuration setting can impact the startup time of your application dramatically and how to fix this using built-in WCF configuration.
Recently we got a client who was unable to complete the installation of BizTalk360. Although all checks indicated the prerequisites were met, there was an issue on completing the installation wizard for some reason. In the first step they filled all info for creating the IIS virtual directory and application pool. But for some reason, […]

Since recently my SFTP send port for some reason couldn’t write any files to the configured SFTP folder anymore. The error information displayed on the suspended instances was: An unexpected failure occurred while processing a message. The text associated with the exception is “[SftpTransmitterEndpoint] Unable to transmit file sftpfolder/51D8D887-DB21-4675-8EA2-927B86F84CF3. Inner Exception: Unable write file to […]
