Once in a while we receive questions from a prospective company something on the lines of – “We are already using SolarWinds (or one of those enterprise monitoring solutions) for monitoring various things in our organisation. They say they have coverage for BizTalk. What’s the difference between BizTalk360 vs XXX Monitoring product in monitoring BizTalk […]

The number 360 may be somewhat a normal number for the majority of the people, but for us it’s a magic number. A lot of times people just refer us as “360” rather than “BizTalk360”, ex: “have you tried that data monitoring feature in 360..”. So, when we signed the contract of our 360th customer […]

Every year some of the brightest minds in Microsoft Integration descend upon Redmond, Washington for the Microsoft MVP Summit. This year 3 MVPs (Saravana Kumar, Steef-Jan Wiggers and Michael Stephenson) from Europe will be stopping by Calgary on their way to the Summit and will be giving some presentations. Myself and a local Microsoft employee, Darren King, will also be presenting.
I have shared the stage with these MVPs before and can vouch that attendees are in for a unique experience as they discuss their experiences with Microsoft Azure and BizTalk Server.
During this full day of sessions you will learn about how BizTalk and Microsoft Azure can address integration challenges. Session topics include SaaS connectivity, IoT, Hybrid SQL Server, BizTalk administration & operations and Two Speed IT using Microsoft Azure. Also bring your burning questions for our interactive Ask the Experts Q & A.
The free event takes place on October 30th, 2015 at the Calgary Microsoft office. You can find more details here.

I wanted to know whether the out of the box JSON encoder pipeline component creates an JSON array if there is only one repeating XML fragment. One of my colleagues found with BizTalk 2013 he had to add an array attribute to the XML to force the creation of a JSON array (https://connectedcircuits.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/sending-json-messages-from-a-biztalk2013-adaptor/).
I created a test schema shown below and deployed it to my run time.
I created this message and consumed it with a receive location that was configured with passthrureceive location.
<ns0:Repeater xmlns:ns0=”http://JSONTest.Repeater”>
<Repeat>Repeat_0</Repeat>
</ns0:Repeater>
The XML message was then processed on a send port with a pipeline that only contained the JSON encoder pipeline component. Voila! I got the correct output shown below;
{
“Repeater”: {
“Repeat”: [
“Repeat_0”
]
}
}
Thanks Microsoft this has saved me a lot of extra work that i had to do in BizTalk 2013.

I had a requirement where I needed to send a message to a web API that only accepted messages as JSON.
BizTalk2013 provides a WCF-WebHttp adaptor for sending sending XML messages to a REST endpoint but not in JSON format. There are rumours this will be remedied in BizTalk2013R2, unfortunately I required a solution now.
So in the meantime I will use the the Json.NET component to convert the XML message to JSON. I also found this blog from http://blog.quicklearn.com/2013/09/06/biztalk-server-2013-support-for-restful-services-part-45/ to convert XML messages to JSON using the Json.net in a custom pipeline component which I ended up using with some mods.
When using this pipeline remember to set the Outbound HTTP Headers as shown below:
This all worked a treat until during the unit testing phase I created a sample XML document with only one repeating element.This caused the following error from the Web API.
Can not deserialize instance…
