Currently I'm using WCF as service bus. But I want to switch to a more powerful service bus. I Chose Rebus.
I'm somehow new to Rebus. I have some problems :
1) My data is persisted in a DB table. I want publisher to read all persisted data every n seconds and publishes it to subscribers and then set a sent flag to data in DB.
Is there some timing for publishing?
Reading and publishing and changing (setting flag) data must be done in a transaction scope. Is there any defined solution in Rebus?
2) In Consumer, I want to save published data in some table. Reading message from message queue and saving in DB (in my handler) must be done in transaction scope. How Rebus do this?
3) Message label for published messages set to a random unique string. I want to set my custom label for created MSMQ message. is there any solution?
1) You are on your own when it comes to querying database tables at regular intervals – there's no built-in mechanism in Rebus that does this.
I can recommend you take a look at System.Timers.Timer or something similar.
2) You can enable automatic transaction scopes in your Rebus handlers by using the Rebus.TransactionScopes package.
3) Out of the box, it is not possible to specify the label to be used on the MSMQ message. It will be set by Rebus to a string consisting of the message type and ID as indicated by this extension method.

I’m trying to set up a very simple BAM scenario within BizTalk Server 2013R2 upon which to build, involving tracking just the time of all incoming messages processed by a port.
To this end I have :
Within Excel, created an Activity Definition (called
SimpleReceiveTest) containing a single Item called ReceiveTime of
type milestone (date/time), and a View Definition (also called
SimpleReceiveTest) containing just this Activity Definition and Item.
Imported this BAM definition spreadsheet using bm.exe
Added view rights to SimpleReceiveTest again using bm.exe
Launched the Tracking Profile Editor, imported the BAM Activity
Definition, and mapped ActivityID = MessageID and ReceiveTime =
PortStartTime by drag and drop from the Messaging Property Schema, as
shown below :
Set the Port Mappings for MessageID and PortStartTime to relate to a
test Receive Port ReceivePort1 that I am using for testing. This is
using a pass-through pipeline.
Saved and applied the above Tracking Profile
It is my understanding that for any messages received on port ReceivePort1 I should now get a tracking activity created. However this is not happening – there are no records in any of the BAM tables/views and no data is available within the BAM Portal.
I have tried restarting the hosts, and have verified that the TDDS_FailedTrackingData table is empty, there is nothing relevant in the event log, a Tracking host is running and the SQL Agent Jobs are running. I have also tried running these jobs manually.
Have I missed something, and am I correct in my expectation that this simple scenario should create tracked activities for any messages passing through the Receive Port? If so what can I try to further diagnose this?
Now fixed - it's actually a bug in vanilla BizTalk 2013R2 when using a standard pipeline that has been fixed in CU2.
FIX: BAM tracking doesn’t work when you use the XMLReceive or a custom pipeline in BizTalk Server
I would like to know the Process Integration steps.
Through Outbound ports
If any of the event occurs at AX Dynamics, we just want to know that events in the form of XML(Process Integration).
Example: Sales Order Creation, Customer Creation, Purchase Order Creation..
Outbound ports are only useful for asynchronous communication.
See AX 2012 Export Data with Outbound ports for an example (using the file system).
The steps to initiate sending data is in the AIF_SendCustomer.
As this is no lightweight operation, you may consider logging the records which needs integration in a custom integration table, then doing the processing in batch.
This is done in the insert and/or update and maybe delete method.
Deletes requires you store the RecId field value in the external system to be used for delete requests. The following does not cover this.
For logged table make the following method:
void syncRecord()
{
XXXRecordLog log;
log.RefTableId = this.TableId;
log.RefRecId = this.RecId;
log.insert();
}
Then call this.syncRecord() in the insert and update methods.
In the query to the outbound service be sure to exists join your table and the log table. This way only changed records are exported.
Make a batch job to do the transfer using the AIF_SendCustomer as a template.
After a synchronous (AifSendMode::Sync) transfer of the records, delete the log records (or mark them transferred).
Finally call AIFoutboundProcessingService to flush the file:
new AIFoutboundProcessingService().run();
Try to keeps things simple. It might be simpler to do a comma file export of the changed records!
I want to create a send port that writes all messages going in and out of BizTalk to file.
My organization is using Splunk. Splunk will import data from the file directory to make sense of the various messages.
Is it possible to create filter in a send port that subscribes to "everything"? I could solve this by applying filter for each message type in my system. However, there is a lot of messages going back and forth and I'm wondering if there a simpler solution?
I'm using BizTalk 2013.
Yes, just filter on message type like you said, but rather than selecting = and specifying the message type, just select Exists. That will then match any message that has a message type.
EDIT:
As Johns-305 has pointed out if you have any messages that don't have a message type (e.g. pass through receive locations) you may want to pick BTS.MessageID as that will always exist for a message in the message box.
Is there any way to set BTS.RetryCount or WCF.Action not in a Message Assignment Shape?
I have a special orchestration for dynamic message sending, its parameters are Message and ServiceName and it has a dynamic port which is easily configured with UDDI service. The thing I can't do in that orchestrations is I can't set WCF.Action for a message, I should create a new one because it's prohibited in BizTalk to modify a message anywhere outside a Construct shape. So it's very inconvenient for me to set this property every time I want to send a message, I thought I would be able to do all the UDDI & routing stuff in a one dedicated orchestration which I later can just call with parameters.
Can you not modify those properties in a pipeline component? You can then execute the pipeline inside the orchestration.
UPDATE
What I mean is you can create a pipeline component to set the context properties of the message as it passes through. Then you can create a pipeline which includes this component and execute it inside your orchestration by passing a message through it. This message will then have those context properties set.
Could you not create a new message in an assignment shape, of the same type as the message you need to modify
NewMessage = OldMessageWithTheDynamicPropertiesSet;
and copy over all the properties
NewMessage(*)* = OldMessageWithTheDynamicPropertiesSet(*);
and then set the properties you need to set. You can also set the WCF action that way.
NewMessage(WCF.Action)=....
NewMessage(BTS.REtryCount)= 666
And then you send this new message out.
My company uses BizTalk for our EDI and AS2 communications. One periodic issue is that a VAN or similar partner we transmit with will want to know whether we received a file by it's ISA #. We currently do use the ISA # for routing within our ports, but I can't seem to find anywhere that this information is stored in BizTalk. Is there a way to look up an EDI message that BizTalk recieved by ISA#? Or perhaps someway I could get a hold of it and store it on my own?
If you're not explicitly using Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) to track this, you may be able to use message tracking.
If you have:
message tracking turned on for the message properties at a point in processing the messages when the ISA number is used, and
if the ISA number is promoted in a published schema (which I'm guessing it is, if you're using the out-of-the-box EDI stuff)
...then you could use the admin console to look for tracked messages with that schema and based on the particular field in the schema (e.g., EDI.ISA08 or EDI.ISA06). Of course, if you are mapping the ISA# to a particular party through your BizTalk configuration, then you would just need to search for Tracked Message Events where the Party Name equals the name you configured for that ISA#.
There is also built-in EDI tracking (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb226464(v=bts.10).aspx), with its own reports, but I'm not familiar with it enough to say whether or not it'll give you exactly what you need.
Otherwise, you will want to look at setting up BAM to save the ISA info that you need.
These fields are available inside the Biztalk message if you do EDI receive.
msgIn(EDI.ISASegment) contains all ISA segments. Then you can do substring on control numbers and then put it in your outgoing filename:
ctrlnum (variable) = msgIn(EDI.ISA13)
newfilename = FILE.ReceivedFileName + ctrlnum ;
This way each control number will show up in your filename and you don't even need to open the file or check tracked messages.
