Agenda
• Real world Integration
• New BizTalk capabilities
• Mapping
• WCF adapters
• AppFabric Connect
• Testing integration solutions
• Moving and migrating effort
• Mix-and-match hybrids
• On/Off Premise
BizTalk 2010 features
Extended Reach
• New Mapper
• Moves outside of BizTalk for first time
• WCF LOB adapters
• Consumable in AppFabric/WF
• Declarative services make this
compelling
• AppFabric Connect
• Publish on-premise endpoint in cloud
• Futures
• Workflow loads in Azure
Mapping
Using BizTalk Mapper in Workflow
New Mapper Activity
Generates .btm and .cs files – still based on
Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.TransformBase
WF based on WCF
• So no longer bound to XML schema
e.g. DataContract,
string or any .NET type
WF Mapper Demo…
Mapping
Using BizTalk maps in Workflow
What about BizTalk maps?
• Not as straightforward as just referencing BTS
assembly
• Need to:
• Set the Map Compiler
• Set the Types
• Format – Name : TypeIn : TypeOut

How to Test?
• Testing distributed systems is hard…
– Ensure system meets functional requirements
– Not just ‘happy’ path
• Must test positive and negative functional scenarios
– Many moving parts
• Testing complex async interactions between systems
• How do you regression test patches
– before deploying to production?
• How do you test your integration system
– before the dependencies are available?
Introducing BizUnit V4
Motivation: Lower the cost for automated
testing of distributed systems
• Developed to make it significantly easier to
test large complex systems
– Originally targeted at BizTalk
– Now completely de-coupled from BizTalk
• Takes a black box approach to testing
• Easier to develop automated tests that are:
–
–
–
–
Repeatable
Predicable
Composable
Executable in a timely manner
What is BizUnit?
• A framework making it easy to extend and enhance –
open source on bizunit.codeplex.com
• A number of test steps and sub-steps, e.g.
–
–
–
–
–
Send an HTTP request, validate the response data
Query a database
Read a message from an MQ queue
Send a SOAP request
Execute an SSIS package
• Takes declarative approach
– making it easy to vary and generate test cases
• Driven by your favourite unit test framework
– NUnit, MSUnit etc.
Test Case
Test cases:
Test Meta data
Setup Stage
Test Step
• Consist of
– meta-data, set-up, execution
and clean-up stages
– Clean-up stage always
executed
Sub Step
Execution Stage
Test Step
• Test cases
– Composable - test within test
• Use dependency injection
• Can be nested
• Stages
– execute =>0 test steps
Test Step
Sub Step
Test Step
Sub
SubStep
Step
• Test steps
– execute >= 0 more sub-steps
– May be coded or XAML
Clean up Stage

How does it work?
Test Step: File
Read Multiple

Test Step: SOAP
Sub Step
Xml
Validation
Test Step: FILE.

BizTalk Adapters
Provide Enterprise Integration via WCF
• BizTalk adapters available to WF/AppFabric
•Add Adapter Service Reference
•Generates activity
• BizTalk Adapter Pack
•SQL Server adapter
•Oracle DB
•SAP
•Oracle EBS
•Siebel
•Custom - LOB SDK
• Host Integration Server
•WCF MQ binding
• + many others
AppFabric Connect
Hybrid Integration
On and off-premise hosting
• Extension to WCF Publishing Wizard
• Exposes BizTalk endpoints (orchs/schemas)
• Via Service Bus
• All bindings except Webxxxx exposed
• ATOM feed available in cloud
• Secured via
• Azure ACS
• WCF message and transport
• Can leverage AppFabric features
• Autostart important
AppFabric Connect

Agenda
Quick Recap
BizTalk, AppFabric and Azure provide:
• Reuse existing BizTalk assets
• Ability to reuse BTS maps in WF
• LOB Adapter integration in WF too
• Ability to host on-prem integration points in cloud
• BizTalk or Workflow (or pure WCF)
• Regression testing using BizUnit V4
What about cloud workloads?
True Hybrid Integration
On-cloud / On-Premise Symmetry
Run anything anywhere
