In an environment where Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit is deployed, a BizTalk receive location responsible for receiving ESB-destined messages is referred to as an "On-Ramp". Out of the box are generic web services provided by the BizTalk ESB Toolkit but you can also create custom On-Ramps. Web services are easily accessible so they are a good choice if you want to expose your On-Ramps to other applications but you also have to implement some kind of security. Especially when applications are not in the same network, it is important that applications do not communicate directly with BizTalk.
Sentinet provides these solutions with design-time and run-time governance, dynamic and remote management of security, monitoring, auditing, service agreements management, alerting and other vital SOA management features via non-invasive services virtualization. For example On-Ramps can be exposed to consumer applications via Sentinet virtual endpoints that may require a Username/Password, X.509 or SAML based authentication (or all of the above at the same time) using a variety of transport and message-level security models. |
|
Service Virtualization
| Virtual Services are created and designed using the Sentinet Administrative Console. Administrators drag-and-drop service versions on the Virtual Service Designer surface to create and manage the structure and behavior of the Virtual Service. |
|
| |
| Virtualize all or only selected operations of the OnRamp by dragging the Service to the Design surface of the Virtual Service. |
|
| |
| It is also possible to aggregate and compose multiple OnRamps into a single Virtual Service. |
|
| |
| The Virtual Service has now operations from multiple OnRamps. Services aggregation gives the benefit of software assets reuse. |
|
| |
Monitoring, Tracking and Recording
Monitoring is a primary operational concern for organizations implementing APIs and SOA services. Without monitoring, there can be no service management, visibility or cost control. Sentinet monitoring allows extensive message exchange monitoring, tracking, and recording.
| On the created Virtual Service you can monitor real-time and historical transactions. |
|
| |
| In the Logs you can search for detailed information on a transaction. |
|
| |
| Messages recording is possible at different message-processing stages. |

Hello,
As mentioned in my previous post, I inform you that a new BizTalk Health application named "BizTalk Health Monitor" is now available in BizTalk 2013 R2
After releasing MBV as a standalone tool for several years, the MBV project team decided indeed to integrate it more closely with the BizTalk Administration Console to provide BizTalk administrators a quick and complete dashboard of a BizTalk group which will help them monitor the health of their BizTalk platform.
A new BizTalk snap-in, named “BizTalk Health Monitor” (aka “BHM”), has so been created to help you easily monitor the health of your BizTalk environment.
BHM is based on the same engine as MBV and can be added to the existing BizTalk Administration Console or can be run individually in its own MMC window.
The first version of BHM is included in BizTalk 2013 R2 in the “Support tools” folder but updates will be released periodically with new features (and fixes if needed). The first update is almost ready and should be available soon.
A dedicated blog was specifically created by the BHM team to provide all details about this new BizTalk health check application, how to install it in its own MMC or in the existing BizTalk console (prefered method) and how to use it, so instead to write here a long post about it, I let you read the posts below about BHM.
Feel free to let your comments on the BHM blog.
Thanks
JP
