Integrating to the max...BizTalk Style

  This is the last post in the ESB Series which i’ve been doing; Hopefully this has showed some ways of using the ESB Toolkit, and ways of extending it so that it is more suited for various scenarios. This post will close the gaps i left open in earlier posts. In the end, i have hopefully demonstrated some common scenarios which are possible with the ESB Toolkit. My final thought on this subject is that the ESB toolkit is targeted to work in a more abstract/generic way, which is a good thing. After using the ESB Toolkit I think it is a nice addition to BizTalk, but I only recommend to use it when the problem demands for this type of a solution. There is a learning curve involved, it works differently as classic BizTalk, and means that you have to define your solution differently, sometimes it even makes the components more complex. In the end, it will bring flexibility, maintainability and allows re-use, however this requires an investment. The ESB Toolkit is not a golden hamm...

  This video is a must see ‘ Service Bus Deep Dive’ together with the presentation . Clemens explain all the Service Bus capabilities, which can be used in various scenarios, and most importantly, are being used in various scenarios which he explains as well. As most of the explanation in his video is also covered in the presentation, I’ve tried to make notes (again: PERSONAL notes), of what I think is something to highlight. These notes are grouped per main category in the presentation Service Bus Service bus will remain available in 2 flavors, the Server and Cloud version. The focus will be on delivering functionality in the Cloud version first, after which bugfixing, takes places and eventually a code merge to the Server version. - Cloud functionality (released frequently) - On Premise (released once 1 year – end of the year) Brokered messaging - Flow rate is roughly determined (throughput \ # subscriptions)     - e.g. 2000 throughput     - ...

As there are a lot of resources available on the following pages, there is no need to dive into the ‘what is an ESB’, ‘what is the toolkit’, ‘how to install’. Understanding the ESB Toolkit Glossary Survival guide However, the ESB Toolkit is quite complex;   …and I know that not everything it yet clear, described, and I hope to fill in this gap all combined in the ESB Toolkit Series In this post we will look at the ‘Itinerary’, Itinerary - An itinerary is a set of steps, where each step performs an action e.g. message transformation, routing, orchestration execution. The next three components i.e. Pipelines, Pipeline Components, and Adapter & Resolver Framework together provide dynamic resolution of End Points, Transformation maps and Itinerary based on message context. Great! But what is this?   First question - how does it look? Second question - What do we see? If we open an Itinerary, we see a designer, which defines all th...
