Azure subscription migration process

 

I had a windows Live ID linked to my MSDN subscription, when changing jobs my former employer motion10 was so kind to keep the subscription active for a short period, allowing me to migrate my subscription to my new employer Caesar.

Hereby the steps for this process to succeed

  • The first requirement is that the bill has been paid Smile

  • Determine the current and new subscription ids

  • Contact Microsoft support (from within the portal)

Choose the subscription for which the ticket is created

Choose the type of support call (subscription transfer-migration)

  • The new subscription must be bound to the same Live ID for the migration to work

  • The destination subscription may not contain any artefacts, so be careful with an Active Directory as this is created and active for all your subscriptions linked to your LiveID

ActiveDirectory

  • In my case the Active Directory was causing an issue, fortenately, the backend team is prepared for this type of migration

“I will now go ahead and work with my backend team to do a force migration so that we can complete your request. This might take 48 to 72hrs.”

  • As my previous subscription was an US based I could use the Azure Store, my new subscription is Europe based, so these apps are not migrated (adding to the complexity)

  • In the end it took 4 days to complete the entire migration, giving the priority (medium) and complexity I think that´s good!

UK Connected Systems User Group – BizTalk Services questions

This Wednesday I’m attending the CSUG – The Hybrid Organisation (sold out!). During my evaluation of several Integration products (BizTalk / BizTalk Services / Neuron ESB / MuleESB) I had some concerns/questions on BizTalk Services. My goal is to get answers on the following scenario a) I receive a HTTP Post with an Xml Body payload b) This contains a signature which i need to validate c) Transform the Xml body payload to another Xml message d) Perform a HTTP Post with the new Xml message to an external HTTP url and sign the message e) Route the response back, similar to the aforementioned steps, where an error needs to be mapped to a dedicated error response Challenges I'm wondering how to cope with some of the following challenges in this scenario, and would like to know resource information available which addresses some of these challenges; Validating / Signing of messages A requirement is to validate the incoming message by inspecting an signature in the message
