After Italy, it’s now Norway’s turn to host the BizTalk Innovation event.
Together with Steef-Jan Wiggers, Nino Crudele, Saravana Kumar, Lex Hegt, and, of course, our host Tord Glad Nordahl, I will do a presentation at the Bouvet BizTalk Innovation Event about Azure Service Bus EAI/EDI features. This will be a two-day event dedicated to BizTalk Server and the broader Integration world, and will take place on 26 and 27 September at Bouvet‘s office in Stavanger, Norway!
📝 One-Minute Brief
This post announces the 2012 Bouvet BizTalk Innovation Event in Stavanger, Norway. Sandro Pereira, along with other Microsoft MVPs like Steef-Jan Wiggers, Nino Crudele, and Saravana Kumar, headlined a two-day event focused on BizTalk Server and cloud integration. Key sessions covered Azure Service Bus EAI/EDI features, BizTalk adapter packs, throttling/threshold tuning, and architectural reviews. The event aimed to showcase the future of integration in a Platform as a Service (PaaS) environment.
The stakes are high after Nino Crudele’s statement: “For this occasion, I want to prepare the best BizTalk session ever seen”… I’ll try to be at his level
And we invite you all to join us, where you can count on the following agenda:
DAY 1
09:00: Registration;
09:30: Welcome and Introduction;
10:30: Break;
10:45: Adapter Pack Integration Capabilities (BizTalk)
by Steef-Jan Wiggers [MVP BizTalk Server];
The latest adapter pack that Microsoft includes with BizTalk contains WCF-based adapters (i.e. bindings) for Line-Of-Business systems (SAP, Siebel, Oracle eBusiness Suite), SQL and Oracle databases.
These adapters can be used within the BizTalk Runtime, separately in .NET projects, Windows Azure and with the latest additions of the Service Bus (Windows Azure Service Bus EDI/EAI CTP). In this talk, the different aspects of using this adapter pack will be discussed, combined with samples to demonstrate its versatile integration capabilities.
12:00: Lunch;
13:00: Introduction to the Azure Service Bus EAI/EDI features.
by Sandro Pereira [MVP BizTalk Server]
Historically, both EAI and EDI have been performed through BizTalk. With this preview, we will give an early glimpse into how Microsoft envisions these types of integration scenarios being addressed in a Platform as a Service (PaaS) based environment.
In this sessio,n we’ll see EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) functionalities, like how to manage EDI message exchanges and trading partners with the Azure EDI Portal; how to support Flat files; edit Schemas and transformation maps
13:45: Break;
14:00: Throttling/& Thresholds.
by Tord Glad Nordahl
There is a lot of different information about how thresholds and automatic throttling affect BizTalk. How does it really work, and what do the different settings really mean? This presentation will talk about the different host settings and the different throttling states, what they mean, and how this can help your environment. The session includes pointers on how to resolve throttling states, how to tune up and down your applications to increase or decrease processing of messages.
14:45: Break;
15:00: Using BizTalk360.
by Saravana Kumar [MVP BizTalk Server]
BizTalk360 addresses some of the common problems organizations face today while managing a BizTalk infrastructure for day-to-day operations. In this session, we’ll cover some of the key capabilities of BizTalk360 (as listed below) and see how Microsoft BizTalk Server customers can take advantage of the investments we have made in BizTalk360.
15:45: Message Flow Monitoring BizTalk 360.
by Lex Hegt
In this presentation, the added value of Message Flow Monitoring in comparison to Endpoint Monitoring is described. Message Flow Monitoring gives a near-real-time insight into the message flow through your BizTalk environment. There will also be a presentation on how BizTalk360 supports Message Flow Monitoring.
16:00: Break;
16:15: BizTalk assessment and architecture review.
by Nino Crudele [MVP BizTalk Server]
Making a good BizTalk assessment and architecture review is not a simple thing. BizTalk Server needs many different technologies in order to run. There are many aspects to be considered and many things to inspect in order to make a complete BizTalk architecture review.
17:00: Wrap up – Roadmap BizTalk Next.
