For me this is the seventh time to receive this award. The sixth year in the program has been again an awesome experience, which gave me the opportunity to do great things and meet inspiring, very skilled people. I have had some interesting speaking engagement, which were fun to do and were very fulfilling. I learned a lot through speaking thanks to the community and fellow MVP’s. I was able to share my experiences through these speaking gigs and other channels like this blog, MSDN Gallery, and above all the TechNet Wiki.
I would like to thank:
- My MVP old lead William Jansen, and new MVP lead Tina Stenderup-Larsen.
- The BizTalk Product Team, Jim Harrer, Ed Price, Mandi Ohlinger, Tord G. Nordahl, Dan Rosanova, Jon Fancey, Paolo Salvatori, and all other Microsoft employees involved.
- People at my former employers: Rene Brauwers, Eldert Grootenboer, fellow MVP Edward Bakker and many others.
- At my current company DutchWorkz : Rutger van Hagen and colleguaes.
- Fellow Microsoft Integration MVP’s: Richard Seroter, Kent Weare, Mikael Håkansson, Johan Hedberg, Saravana Kumar, Nino Crudele, Sandro Pereira, Stephen W. Thomas, Mick Badran (Azure), Micheal Stephenson, Tomasso Groenendijk, Nicholas Hauenstein, Salvatore Pellitteri,Sam VanHoutte, Glenn Colpeart, Bill Chesnut, Howard S. Edidin, Martin Abbott, Leonid Ganeline, and Ashwin Prabhu, who I got learn even better and supported me in this program.

Howard S. Edidin, @hsedidin
Howard S. Edidin is a Cloud Architect/Consultant specializing with Azure PaaS Integration. He is a well know speaker and contributor to BizTalk community. He is also been awarded as Data Platform MVP.
Currently he is working as a Senior Azure Solution Architect with VNB Consulting, Inc. He is specialized in Healthcare and Life Sciences Integration using BizTalk Server and Azure.
He is certified as Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist (MCTS) in BizTalk Server 2010 and is also a Gold Member of the HL7 Organization. He is a Microsoft Virtual Technical Specialist (BizTalk, Azure) for Healthcare (P-TSP) and a member of the Azure Advisory Group.
He is considered the “go to” person for HL7 Integration. Howard is working with Microsoft Healthcare and Life Sciences on the integration of HL7 FHIR with Azure. He was the first to implement FHIR using Microsoft BizTalk Server.
Howard has co-authored three books on BizTalk Server. He also maintains a blog, The Azure DocumentDB and publishes a Daily newspaper Healthcare Integration
He has also spoke few times in Integration User Group – Integration Monday.
It’s really great to have him as one of the reviewer of our book– Robust Cloud Integration with Azure. Now that he is in the reviewer team of our book, I asked him to share his thoughts on the following couple of questions about the book.
1. What do you think about the outline of the book?
The outline is very thorough. The biggest issue is trying to keep up with the constant updates and new functionality on Azure.Many of the products and service available in Azure today are in preview.
2. What is your expectation from the book or how do you think this book would be valuable for its reader’s time and money?
The most difficult task is to provide content that is not publicly available on the Azure site or a blog. Every topic requires at least one good tutorial.
Glenn Colpaert, @GlennColpaert
Glenn Colpaert is an Integration Consultant and Microsoft Azure MVP at Codit.
He believes its shame to let his learning, experiences, POCs / demos, sit there with no purpose. So he often share his learning and experience with the community by writing a blog post or giving a talk on that subject.
Glenn is also part of the Microsoft Azure Insider program as well as the BizTalk Advisors group.
He became a board member of BTUG.be, the Belgian BizTalk User Group and is an active blogger on the Codit Blog.
He has also spoke couple of times in Integration User Group – Integration Monday.
He has also created a video for Microsoft Channel 9 about Microsoft Cloud Integration and SAP.
He was the first who showed keen interest for reviewing the book after reading the blog post. Here is his thought on the following couple of questions about the book.
1. What do you think about the outline of the book?
After reading the announcement blog post about the robust integration book I reached out to the team behind it and asked if they could use some help with the review of the book. The outline of the book immediately triggered my interest as it tried the cover the broad spectrum of the current integration landscape without losing sight of what’s coming next within the integration space..
2. What is your expectation from the book or how do you think this book would be valuable for its reader’s time and money?
The team behind robust integration is setting some high expectations as they try to cover all important areas of modern/hybrid Integration. Covering the broad spectrum from Logic Apps over API Management to Hybrid Integration with BizTalk Server 2016, this book will definitely will be a must read for all people involved or interested in the current and to be integration landscape.
I welcome both Howard and Glenn to our book reviewer team.

I got this error. Checking the event log I saw a BAM Web Service Error like System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: There are instances with duplicate ID ‘\\MyServer\customer-b2c-dw_wsl_delta201604131734004.xml’ in activity ‘GenericCountOfTrackedMessages’.

Big Data is one of the most important topic in the last year, the world of integration has changed since the companies start providing the possibility to store our information in the Cloud.
Send the data from our on premise to a database in the cloud can be achieved in different ways, I’m very keen and focused to implement feature in GrabCaster able to solve integration problems in easy way.
GrabCaster is an open source framework and it can be used in every integration project within any environment type, no matter which technologies, transport protocols or data formats are used.
The framework is enterprise ready and it implements all the Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs) and offer a consistent model and messaging architecture to integrate several technologies., the internal engine offers all the required features to realize a consistent solution.
The framework can be hosted in Azure Service Fabric which enables us to build and manage scalable and reliable points running at very high density on a shared pool of machines.
Azure Service Fabric servers as the foundation for building next generation cloud and on premise applications and services of unprecedented scale and reliability, for more information about Microsoft Azure Service Fabric check here
Using GrabCaster and the Microsoft Azure stacks I’m able to execute a SQL Server Bulk Insert operation across on premise and the cloud very easily, below how it works.
I’m not going in detail, you can find all the samples and templates in the GrabCaster site.
Download GrabCaster Framework and configure it to use the Azure Redis Cache, this is one of the last messaging provider implemented, what I love about this Azure stack is the pricing and the different options offered by this framework.
Using the SQL Bulk Trigger and Event I’m able to send a large amount of data across the cloud, the engine compacts the stream and it uses the Blobs to move the large amount of records.
Last the I did was moving one million record from a table in an on premise SQL database and another in the cloud.
I installed GrabCaster in Azure Fabric as below.
I configured the SQL bulk trigger in the on premise environment using the json configuration file.
I configured the SQL Bulk event and I sent the configuration to the GrabCaster point in the Azure Fabric using the internal synchronization channel.
I can activate the GrabCaster trigger in different ways, in this case I used the REST API invocation as below.
The trigger is executed and I moved one million records from an on premise SQL Server database into a SQL Server database table in the cloud.
After tested the REST API the developer implemented a simple REST call in a Web UI button.
Below the scenario implemented.
There are some important aspects which I appreciate in this approach.
- Thank to Microsoft Azure Fabric the solution is always-on, scalable and distributed.
- The simplicity into the approach and the configuration.
- The extensibility using the REST API call to invocate the trigger.
- The using of Redis Cache and Blob which have a very low pricing consume in Microsoft Azure.
