ESB Guidance 2.0

regisma — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:48:00 GMT

Cette semaine, j'ai installé la CTP2 de l'ESB Guidance V2.0 http://www.codeplex.com/esb .

Après avoir installé correctement les pré-requis (BTS2009 + BAM), cela s'est fait en 30mns montre en main. Voici ci-dessous la procédure que j'ai suivi, c'est une synthèse de ce que j'ai trouvé sur le Net et dans les documentations (installation et utilisateur).

ESB V2.0 Guide d’Installation

1. Prerequisites

1.1. IIS 7.0

1.2. Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 Enterprise Edition Beta

1.3. Microsoft SQL Server 2008

1.4. Infopath

1.5. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1

1.6. Enterprise Library 4.0

1.7. Unity Application Block 1.1

2. Installation ESB Guidance V2

2.1. Start BizTalk Server 2009 Administration Console

2.2. Install the ESB Guidance 2.0 CTP2 January 2009 msi. This step will unpack the necessary files needed to install the ESB Guidance and create necessary registry entries. The itinerary designer is also installed and available from Visual Studio 2008.

2.3. From C:\Program Files\Microsoft ESB Guidance 2.0 CTP2 - January 2009

Import the Microsoft.Practices.ESB.CORE msi into BizTalk using BizTalk Administration tool.

2.4. CD “C:\Program Files\Microsoft ESB Guidance 2.0 CTP2 - January 2009”

Install the BizTalk installer package, named Microsoft.Practices.ESB.CORE msi

2.5. Configure the Exception Management Database, the Exception Web Services, the Itinerary Database and the Core Web Services:

CD “C:\Program Files\Microsoft ESB Guidance 2.0 CTP2 - January 2009\bin”

ESBConfigurationTool.exe

2.6. Install BAM Itinerary tracking:

CD “C:\Program Files\Microsoft ESB Guidance 2.0 CTP2 - January 2009\Bam”

“C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009\Tracking\bm” deploy-all -DefinitionFIle:" Microsoft.BizTalk.ESB.BAM.Itinerary.xml"

2.7. Install exception handling BAM tracking:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009\Tracking\bm" deploy-all -DefinitionFIle:" Microsoft.BizTalk.ESB.BAM.Exceptions.xml"

2.8. Install UDDI

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009\bin\ Microsoft.Practices.ESB.UddiPublisher.exe"

3. Installing Samples

3.1. The samples are contained in the source code zip and must be unpacked. The recommended location to unpack the source is C:\projects\microsoft.practices.esb\source. Some of the samples have hardcoded file paths and this should provide a more seamless installation with less issues.

Open a “Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt”

Gacutil.exe is located in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin” set your environment accordingly

Reference to this path is in file “C:\Projects\microsoft.practices.esb\Source\Core\Install\Scripts\ESBFunctions.ps1”, in function “GacOperation”

3.2. Do the installation following the list ordering below:

· Exception Handling – This is where the GlobalBank.ESB BizTalk application is created

o Installation:

CD “C:\Projects\microsoft.practices.esb\Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Install\Scripts”

Setup_bin.cmd

o Configure InfoPath Form Template shares:

1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder \Source\Exception Handling\Source\ESB.ExceptionHandling.InfoPath.Reporting\Publish within the source folder where you installed the ESB Guidance. This folder contains the InfoPath template used to render exception information serialized by the ESB Exception Management Framework.

2. Share this Publish folder using the name Publish, with Read permission for all users. In Windows Server 2003, you can do the following:

2.1. Right-click the Publish folder in Windows Explorer, click Properties, and then click the Sharing tab.

2.2. Click Share this folder and accept the default value Publish (the folder name).

2.3. Click the Permissions button and confirm that the Read check box contains a check mark for the Everyone account group.

2.4. Click OK in each of the two dialog boxes.

3. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder \Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Source\ESB.ExceptionHandling.InfoPath.Resubmit\Publish within the source folder where you installed the ESB Guidance. This folder contains the InfoPath template used to demonstrate the Repair and Resubmit use case within the sample application.

4. Share this Publish folder using the name PublishResubmit, with Read permission for all users, as described in step 2.

o Testing: To run the Repair and Resubmit Custom Exception Handler sample

5. Before you run this sample for the first time, ensure that the receive location and send port URLs point to the appropriate directories in the \Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Test\Filedrop folder. The receive location should specify the folder EAIProcess.RequestPort, and the send port URLs should specify the folders EAIProcess.PostApproval and EAIProcessHandler.PostDecline.

6. If the GlobalBank.ESB application is not already running, use the BizTalk Administration Console to start it.

7. Start the sample by copying the sample file named Request_EAIProcessHandler.xml, located in the \Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Test\Data folder, to the folder specified for the EAIProcess.RequestPort_FILE receive location: \Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Test\Filedrop\EAIProcess.RequestPort.

8. Open the folder named EAIProcessHandler.PostDecline (within the \Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Test\Filedrop folder). You will see the "Declined*" message generated by the exception handling orchestration.

9. Open the folder named EAIProcessHandler.RepairSubmit (within the \Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Test\Filedrop folder). You will see a "RepairSubmit" message generated by the exception handling orchestration.

10. Double-click the RepairSubmit file to open it within the appropriate InfoPath template. You will see the message ready for edit and resubmission.

11. Change the value of the Unit Price field from 0 to 2, and then click the Submit button located on the toolbar of the InfoPath form to submit the edited document back to BizTalk for processing. The submit process uses a BizTalk-configured HTTP receive location.

12. Navigate to the EAIProcess.PostApproval folder (within the \Source\Samples\Exception Handling\Test\Filedrop folder). You will now see the "Approval*" document containing the updated value for the unit price.

13. Http Error 404:

BizTalk HTTP Adapter is implemented as an ISAPI application. Make sure BtsHttpReceive.dll is an allowed Web Services Extensions in IIS. Add an entry for instance "BizTalk HTTP Adapter" on the Web Service Extension folde , add the path to BtsHttpReceive.dll (C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009\HttpReceive\BTSHTTPReceive.dll)

14. Http Error 405:

4. Others

4.1. If your BizTalk Server 2009 project uses the SQL adapter, you must install SQLXML 3.0 SP3. You can install SQLXML 3.0 SP3 from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=122479.

This is the error you will get if SQLXLK3.0 is not installed:

A message sent to adapter "SQL" on send port "ALL.Exceptions" with URI "SQL://(local)/EsbExceptionDb/" is suspended.

Error details: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.SqlXml, Version=3.2.2917.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

SOA Etendue

regisma — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:05:00 GMT

Cela fait plusieurs années que lors de mes interventions sur le sujet des Architectures de Services (SOA), j'attire l'attention sur l'importance de mettre en places les bonnes aptitudes (ma traduction de "capabilities") pour porter cette démarche (j'utilise le terme "démarche" car je suis en effet très vigilant lorsque l'on me parle de projet SOA et je challenge mes interlocuteurs sur ce point).

A partir du moment où l'on s'est mis dans cette dynamique, il faut être capable de prendre en compte des Services qui se trouveront en dehors de votre Datacenter. J'avais d'ailleurs fait le slide PowerPoint suivant, pour certaines de mes présentations:

L'objectif de ce slide est de montrer que le SI n'est plus isolé du monde extérieur, mais qu'internet est de plus en plus présent (un anglo-saxon dirait: "pervasive") et qu'il faut donc être capable de répondre à cela si l'on est garant du SI. D'où les bonnes aptitudes en terme d'authentification, d'autorisation, de découverte des Services, de mesure de la qualité de service...

Sachant que cela doit être adapté au contexte de votre secteur d'activité puisque cette pénétration d'internet sera plus ou moins importante en fonction de votre activité, bien évidement cela n'est en aucune manière figé dans le temps ==> la nécessité de l'agilité du SI.

Mon attention a donc été attirée par un billet de David Lidthicum "Real World SOA" en date du 27 Août 2008, voici le lien: http://weblog.infoworld.com/realworldsoa/archives/2008/08/woa_or_whatever.html?source=rss

Bonne lecture.

Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) et WCF

regisma — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 18:20:00 GMT

L'architecture de IIS7 a été revue; le listener http et l'activation sont maintenant dans des services Windows séparés. Cela nous permet donc un scénario de "Hosting" WCF très intéressant avec WAS. En effet, nous pouvons maintenant profiter des fonctionnalités (on-demand activation, process health monitoring, enterprise-class manageability, rapid failure protection) pour des protocoles autres que http. Pour plus de detail voici l'article http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/09/WAS/

Connecteur Team Foundation Server 2005 / Project Server 2007 : pré-version disponible

regisma — Mon, 28 May 2007 18:16:00 GMT

Lors de l'Architect Council du 3 mai 2007 sur la "Gouvernance SOA", j'ai abordé les différents repositories (Project Server, TFS, SOA Repository, Service Manager) et le rôle de chacun d'eux dans le cycle de vie.

Voici connecteur intéressant pour "fluidifier" ce cycle de vie: http://www.codeplex.com/pstfsconnector

Il est basé sur le précédent http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=b9f69ea5-ace1-4a21-846f-6222a507cc9c, mais est adapté aux nouvelles structures et API de Project Server 2007.

WCF Versioning & Load Balancing

regisma — Mon, 21 May 2007 21:56:00 GMT

Lorsque j'interviens dans des sessions d'architecture, on me pose très souvent des questions sur la gestion de version des Service et du "Load Balancing". Il existe sur MSDN un recueil de recommandations et de bonnes pratiques qui couvre les sujets suivants:

Data Contract Versioning
Service Versioning
Load Balancing
Controling Resource Comsumption and Improving Performance
Deploying WCF Applications with ClickOnce
