Convoy in BizTalk Orchestration

By
  Convoys are used when you receive related messages from diffirent sources or system and in dirrent order and on different time interval. Using convoys you can start the orchestration process and keep receiving the correlated messages either in parallel or sequentially. Thus there are two kind of convoys are possible.

1- Sequential - When you need to receive messages in predefined order then you need to use Sequential convoy.
2- Parallel - When you can receive the related messages in any order then you need to use parallel convoy.
 
How they are implemented in BizTalk : You achieve these convoy implementation in Biztalk using BizTalk orchestration. For sequential convoy you need to implement receive in a line and using correlation you need to correlate the next incoming message. For parallel convoy you need to use parallel shape and implement as many receive shapes as required. Again you will relate these messages using correlation.

        Sequential Convoy

In sequential convoy all the types of messages are received in an ordered sequence. The first receive shape initializes the correlation set while the other receive shapes follow the correlation set. You can have the first receive shape’s activate property to true and set the initialize correlation property. While the other receive shapes will have the follow correlation set property set and activate property false.



Parallel Convoy

In the parallel convoy the messages arriving are not in a sequence and their sequence does not matter but the processing should be started when all the three messages are received. Configuring the parallel convoy is straight forward. Just drag the parallel shape and add the receive shapes in the parallel shape branches. If the parallel shape is the first shape in the orchestration then each parallel receive shape must have activate property to true and initialize the correlation set otherwise follow the correlation set initialized by any first receive shape or send shape.

WCF MaxReceivedMessageSize max value in .config

By
MaxReceivedMessageSize parameter in binding config   file:   For max file size in WCF, we need to set following parameter in binding files. <binding name="MyService"        maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"        maxBufferSize="2147483647" transferMode="Streamed" >        <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647"      maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647"/> <!-- other binding info here, such as security --> </binding> Max possible size: MaxReceivedMessageSize to 2147483647 (i.e. Int32.MaxValue), which is 2GB For our case, as we are using WsHttpBinding. <wsHttpBinding>         <binding name="wsHttpBindingSettings" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">           <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength

Object Oriented Programming Concepts

By
OOP Basics Visual Basic was Object-Based, Visual Basic .NET is Object-Oriented , which means that it's a true Object-Oriented Programming Language . Visual Basic .NET supports all the key OOP features like Polymorphism , Inheritance , Abstraction and Encapsulation. It's worth having a brief overview of OOP before starting OOP with VB. Why Object Oriented approach? A major factor in the invention of Object-Oriented approach is to remove some of the flaws encountered with the procedural approach. In OOP, data is treated as a critical element and does not allow it to flow freely. It bounds data closely to the functions that operate on it and protects it from accidental modification from outside functions. OOP allows decomposition of a problem into a number of entities called objects and then builds data and functions around these objects. A major advantage of OOP is code reusability. Some important features of Object Oriented programming are as follows: Emphasis on

biztalk schema remove ns0 prefix

By
We can remove ns0 prefix simply by set the schema elements property or both elements and attributes properties to be qualified. To do that follow my steps: 1-       Open your schema 2-       Right Click <Schema> and select properties 3-       Use schema property editior and Set [Element FromDefult] to Unqualified , and then set [Attribute FromDefault] to Unqualified if you are using attributes in your schema. After applying the steps above, both XML instances below will be valid: Instance 1 (with ns0) < ns0:Root xmlns:ns0 = " http://RandomBizTalkProject.Schema1 " >   < Field1 > Field1_0 </ Field1 >   < Field2 > Field2_0 </ Field2 > </ ns0:Root > Instance 2 (without ns0) < Root xmlns = " http://RandomBizTalkProject.Schema1 " >   < Field1 > Field1_0 </ Field1 >   < Field2 > Field2_0 </ Field2 > </ Root >
