Webcast: ESB Guidance - Prerequisites, Install, Config and ESB Portal
Overview
The
Microsoft ESB Guidance provides
architectural guidance, patterns, practices, and a set of
BizTalk Server and .NET components to simplify the development of an
Enterprise Service Bus (
ESB) on the Microsoft platform and to allow Microsoft customers to extend their own messaging and integration solutions.
Audience Requirements
The
Microsoft ESB Guidance is intended for developers working with Microsoft
BizTalk Server 2006 and who build solutions that leverage the
Service Oriented Architecture pattern. To take full advantage of the
Microsoft ESB Guidance, developers should possess knowledge and experience working with the following:
- Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
- Microsoft .NET development techniques, including the development of ASP.NET Web services and .NET Framework components
About the Webcast
With the Microsoft ESB Guidance - Release , major step in Microsoft's Architecture level has reached maturity. As a result of the fact the the community recognized this, the community has started to install the Microsoft ESB Guidance as part of their infrastructure.
But, due to the fact, that in the Discussions for patterns & practices: Enterprise Service Bus Guidance one of the major topics was installation, pointed me to the fact that a Webcast which shows how easy is the "Next next" steps in the installation - This Webcast is just that.
In order to explain I have build so far several points
- ESB Guidance Architects User Group Presentation PPT
- Webcast : ESB Guidance, STEP 1 - Install the MSI ( Hebrew Edition )
- Webcast: ESB Guidance Installation Process, STEP1 - Install the MSI [EN] ( English Edition )
As we can see in previous Webcasts the point was mainly the Install of the MSI it self.
But due to:
- Amount of download of Webcast : ESB Guidance, STEP 1 - Install the MSI ( Hebrew Edition ) as well as Webcast: ESB Guidance Installation Process, STEP1 - Install the MSI [EN] ( English Edition )
- These Webcasts didn't include the prerequisites, nor the ESB Portal and for a full circle we needed all the parts.
- I have the feeling that people downloaded them BOTH !
Lead me to the decision to take the long road in building a long version of ALL the parts:
- Step 0 - Prerequisites - download and install !
- Step 1 - Install The MSI
- Step 2 - Configuration of :
- BizTalk Configuration File (BTSNTSvc.exe.config)
- Machine.config
- Step 3 - Install and Config the ESB Portal
The Webcast was recorded at a resolution of 800X600 for two reasons:
- Smaller file <-> Better resolution capability
- The FONTS would be bigger
This fact was done in consideration of the fact that the ESB Portal is configured to AT LEAST 1024X768 resolution
Comments and Feedback would be greatly Appreciated !

Summary
The
Microsoft ESB Guidance uses Microsoft
BizTalk Server 2006 R2 to support a
loosely coupled messaging
architecture.
BizTalk Server includes a powerful
publish/subscribe mechanism for messaging applications that works by creating and filling subscriptions, which provides a highly efficient and scalable platform for
service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications.
The
Microsoft ESB Guidance extends the functionality of
BizTalk Server to provide a range of new capabilities focused on building robust, connected,
service-oriented applications that incorporate
itinerary-based service invocation for lightweight service composition, dynamic resolution of endpoints and maps, Web service and WS-* integration, fault management and reporting, and integration with third-party
SOA governance solutions.
The
Microsoft ESB Guidance was developed jointly by the
patterns & practices team and the
Connected Systems Division.
