Let me know if any of you have the roadmap from R3 about the following features? I believe that they stated that these will be the features of commercial product, but I don't see any of them in their release.
I will appreciate the help.
Pluggable State Database (It supports only H2 database, do you have any documentation for any of commercial database such as Oracle Database
Pluggable Middleware Messaging System( it supports embedded activemq artemis currenlty , is there any plan to provide the support for RabbitMQ or IBM MQ as the standalone server.
The upcoming enterprise version of Corda does indeed include the capability to use commercial databases (eg Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Postgresql) to store ledger data. You can see some references to it in the blog posts here and here.
Ability to use 3rd party middleware messaging systems is a longer-term feature - we are considering this but there are currently no concrete plans to implement it.

Here are a few clarifications we need from you :
Not able to find back-end service (mDS, mSS) components on GitHub. Could you let us know the path and the implementation steps? We are trying to deploy mimik's back-end components on the EC2 instance and try to configure/access the micro service deployed on the local laptop from another device.
How can we deploy microservices written in other languages like java, python etc. we can see support for microservices written in Java Script( Node JS) only.
mDS and mSS are core mimik backend services and are not publicly available on any website. The capabilities/functionalities of mSS and mDS are provided within edgeEngine during runtime on supported platforms. You can learn about these concepts and develop your own solutions in tandem with edgeEngine and various backend microservices on our developer portal below:
https://developer.mimik.com/products/
1.1. You can run edgeEngine on any of our supported platforms and deploy any of our publicly available local microservices as a way of learning how to develop, deploy and work with edge-microservice.
The agent program on any platform can be developed by any desired programming language; however, for exposing a restful API at the edge to provide any specific function or for orchestration purpose, you need to develop them using JavaScript. In this way you can re-use the microservice and deploy them dynamically on all platforms with different operating systems. This means we only support the deployment of microservices written in JavaScript on to edegEngine environment
If you are trying to develop your own commercial solution please contact mimik support team directly at support#mimik.com.
In addition to the above response by Maz Mandi, please note that your application on top of edgeEngine (application and microservices) will communicate with your application back-end directly vs. going through mimik global functions such as mDS and mSS.
I have a Java project that needs to be rewritten in C# .Net Core. The Java app is currently deployed on cloud using SCS. The concept of stream looks smooth as we can easily visualize the flow of data there. It would be nice to have something similar available in .Net/Core. I tried Google, but couldn't get any useful info on this.
Steeltoe Stream Support:
https://github.com/SteeltoeOSS/steeltoe/issues/128
https://docs.steeltoe.io/articles/releases/steeltoe-3-1-minor-release-major-deal.html
This is an Epic, that will track all the work being done for our Streams feature.
Steeltoe Streams will be similar to the functionality that Spring Streams brings. Steeltoe Streams will be used for building highly scalable event-driven .NET microservices connected with shared messaging systems.
Steeltoe OSS: Cloud Native .NET Applications - Friend of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

I am a .NET developer and I have developed a software for an organization in which there are 2 other different software applications. All these 3 applications are isolated and they don't send and receive data to and from any other software.
The organization's manager asked me to integrate these products.
After some research on the internet I found that I have to use BizTalk. Now I have some basic knowledge about BizTalk (like what are Schema,Maps,Pipelines,Orchestration etc).
The problem is that I don't know the changes I have to make for my own software and the change I have to ask the other developers (of the other software) to make in their own software to be able to integrate them via BizTalk.
Shall we make web services for our software?
Is that possible to connect directly to databases? Is that a good practice at all?
Any other suggestion or resources will be very appreciated.
Since this a very broad topic, I'll stick to answering your specific questions:
Sure, this is frequently called a Web Service Facade. It's most useful when many different apps will be calling into it.
If you own the apps and their databases, yes, this is a perfectly valid solution. BizTalk connects natively to SQL Server and Oracle as well as other databases through an ODBC Adpater.
You could also program your existing apps to emit and consume Xml messages.
I am trying to persuade my company to look at Alfresco rather than write something from scratch. Are there any .net houses out there who use Alfresco?
How have you found it? Where there any problems?
Alfresco is written in Java, would I have to bridge from .net to access it?
JD
I'm not aware of .NET shops that integrated Alfresco within their systems, but that's only my personal experience.
IMO, the best way to hook into Alfresco from a .NET application would be by leveraging CMIS. Apache Chemistry already provides an initial client implementation of a .NET CMIS client library.
They're in the process of issuing a new release as we speak.
I have a partly developed asp.net application, but now the client wants it to be developed in azure. How much of the existing code can be used in developing the application in azure.
What challenges could we possibly encounter when we try to port an existing asp.net application to azure? Are there any other alternatives to azure in cloud computing?
For an asp.net application, you can certainly port that to Azure. Your core logic will port in a relatively straightforward manner, and you'll gain the many benefits Azure has to offer. With the June 2010 release, you'll also have .NET 4 support, along with IntelliTrace for debugging.
However, as you begin to plan your Azure migration, there are several considerations you'll need to think about (none of them insurmountable, and several relatively simple to deal with):
You have to deal with ASP.NET Session State management across your web role instances (which isn't supported out of the box, except for inproc). You'll also have to set up and use the role and membership providers (see here for more detail). EDIT: You now have access to both AppFabric Cache for session state as well as SQL Azure, part of the Universal Providers included with the Windows Azure SDK+Tools.
You have to examine your SQL backend for incompatibilities with SQL Azure (such as scheduled jobs,since there's no SQL Agent support). SQL Azure differences are documented here. You'll also need to consider the SQL Azure size limit of 50GB, which might require you to offload content to Azure blob storage. EDIT: You can run your SQL Server database through the SQL Azure Migration Wizard for compatibility-testing.
You need to configure logging and diagnostics, preferably with Trace output, so that you can retrieve this data remotely.
You need to think about how you'll monitor and scale your application. All information you might need for scaling is available to you (performance counters, queue lengths, etc.). Check out WASABI - the auto-scale application block, part of Enterprise Library. You can also subscribe to a service such as AzureWatch.
You'll need to think about caching, as there's currently no out-of-the-box caching implementation that runs across instances of your web role which is now provided as a service. Read details here, as well as an FAQ here.
Do you need SMTP support? If so, there are details you should read about here. SendGrid recently announced a free-tier promotion for Windows Azure.
Are you hosting WCF services as well? If so, check out this site for further details (specifically the Known Issues).
So: yes, there are some things you need to concern yourself with, but Azure is a great platform for hosting an asp.net application and you should strongly consider it.
It should be very easy to port your application to Azure--especially if you're using a SQL back-end. The code could run almost without modification. You'll need to create an Azure installation package for the project and configuration file.
If your application makes use of persistent storage (other than SQL Server), you may have to rework that code somewhat. However, the platform now has drive storage, which simulates a file system, so this should be fairly easy.
Another issue to watch out for is web.config. If you make heavy use of this for runtime customization, you'll have to rework that too. You can't deploy single files to your application in Azure, so the recommended approach is to migrate these sort of settings to the Azure config file.
The hardest thing you're likely to encounter is external applications. If your app relies on launching other processes, then this will require some serious redesign.
Azure now supports Web Sites as a deployment type. Basically this allows you to publish any standard Asp.net (and other supported like PHP etc) application to Azure and have it as a scalable server. See this article http://blog.ntotten.com/2012/06/07/10-things-about-windows-azure-web-sites/
Many of the benefits of Azure without having to introduce Azure specific code/Project to your existing application.
