Why Did My BizTalk Services Stop Working? Check Expired ACS Credentials…

So… let’s say you were one of the early adopters of Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services (MABS) and actually put a solution in production. Everything goes swimmingly for about a year. Then one day your interfaces stop working. Moreover, you will see no error entries in tracking (actually, no entries at all for that interface), although you might see some errors from the client trying to send messages to MABS.

Although the error messages you see may not be very helpful, the length of time that the service has been deployed and running should lead you to suspect some expired credentials. As it turns out, there are multiple levels of credentials and places that they are managed. The SSL certificate might be an obvious one, but many folks forget about the ACS credentials behind the service. Read more of this post

User Group Presentation on Integration Roadmap

Dan PresentingLast night at our Brisbane Azure User Group meetup, I had the privilege of delivering a short presentation on the Microsoft Integration Roadmap that was revealed on Christmas Eve last year, and which I previously blogged about. I couldn’t find any “official” slide deck from Microsoft yet, so I put together a rough deck of my own incorporating some screenshots from the roadmap PDF, a few slides from previous Microsoft decks, and a couple of handmade ones of my own. Feel free to download this from SlideShare and use it if you like.

My presentation was preceded by an excellent session on Azure Application Insights given by Microsoft Solution Architect Todd Whitehead. Amazing to see how easy it is to get so much telemetry from Azure! Looking forward to using this feature more & more.

More photos and details of the Meetup can be found here.
