SOA suite 12c can not find SOA sever - soa

I have standalone server configured, when deploy OSB project on it, it works fine, but when I try to deploy an SOA project, it hangs at "Looking up SOA server" and then got this error message. Does anyone knows what is wrong here, thank you.
I have admin sever, soa server and osb server all up and running. Here is the proof.
Here is the update:
The connection tests are all successfully returned.
But when I try to expend this SOA folder it just keep loading...
Inside the em, it shows the servers are up and SOA infra is active. This is version 12.2 btw.

That's not a standlone domain. Instructions for standalone domain are wrong in the docs. Attached is screenshot of standalone I created. Also successful expansion of SOA in JDeveloper. My guess is your installation is wrong.
Try installing on another machine and testing. Is this on-premise or SOA Cloud Service? IF SOA cloud service then know that deploy from JDeveloper to SOA CS is not supported in this release, per the docs.

Standalone means you create a seperate domain and server that cannot be managed or controlled by jdeveloper..
jdeveloper uses integrated server (integrated with jdeveloper) and uses java derby database instead of oracle database or other dbs.

Unable to Create Azure Storage Queue Messages with ASP.NET 4.6.1 App

I have an old ASP.NET 4.6.1 app running in a VM on Azure.
I’m trying to create messages in an Azure Storage Queue and nothing is happening when I run it on production VM. However, on my dev machine, it works fine and I can create messages in the same queue that I’m trying to access from the production VM.
The call to the queue is within a try catch block and it’s not throwing any errors.
Another important point is that I had use the old/deprecated WindowsAzure.Storage NuGet package as that’s the one that seems to work on this ASP.NET MVC 4.6.1 app.
Any idea what could be the issue here? Because I don’t see any errors, I’m not sure how to go about fixing this problem.
According to MS Docs, one troubleshooting option you can try is "Redeploy Windows virtual machine to new Azure node"
The doc says,
If you have been facing difficulties troubleshooting Remote Desktop
(RDP) connection or application access to Windows-based Azure virtual
machine (VM), redeploying the VM may help.
Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshooting/redeploy-to-new-node-windows
See also additional troubleshooting steps:
Restart the virtual machine
Recreate the endpoint / firewall rules / network security group
(NSG) rules
Connect from different location, such as a different Azure virtual
network
Recreate the virtual machine
There are various reasons when you cannot start or connect to an application running on an Azure virtual machine (VM). Reasons include the application not running or listening on the expected ports, the listening port blocked, or networking rules not correctly passing traffic to the application.

This might be network Firewall issue. Open azure portal from production vm machine. You can even try to manually see the storage and upload files from web.

Migrate BizTalk Server from local server to remote server

I have BizTalk 2016 server running on my local machine and want to migrate all the settings and applications to remote server. I am trying to implement using BizTalk migration tool provided by Microsoft Announcing: BizTalk Server Migration tool
Would appreciate if provided a sample demo on this application/tool or any other implementation available to migrate.
My advice, don't bother with this tool. I've never even heard of it so...no one is actually using it.... ;)
Anyway, the correct procedure is very simple...
Build new BizTalk Server environment
Deploy your apps
Export .msi and bindings
OR -
Build the apps with BizTalk Deployment Framework

Hosting java web application with oracle database

I have been trying to find out how best I can host a JavaEE5 web application with Oracle11g database. I have got my domain registered and currently pointing to my Jboss web application on my laptop.
I would like to host it for a while untill my application gets finished and ideally would like to go on hosting on a professional company server when I start getting increased traffic.
Firstly, to host at my home I want to use a separate dedicated server. Can you please let me know what options I have? Because I have no clue on what to purchase.
Secondly, when I want to go with a professional company server, which ones should I consider that supports JavaEE5 deployments and Oracle11g databases? Let me know if you need more details.
Personally I have experience with OpenShift. Free plan offers JBoss AS 7.1.1 and MySQL or PostgreSQL, but it's very slow (you might want to try these two my demo applications: personal site and e-shop). Paid plans looks for me too expensive here. This solution might be appropriate if you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Another possible solution is Amazon Web Services. There are such services as Elastic Beanstalk that offers you different servers including Tomcat, Amazon Relational Database Service that offers you Oracle Database as well as other RDMSes, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud that enable you install JBoss AS yourself even if Beanstalk with Tomcat doesn't work for you. It looks like AWS is cheaper than OpenShift, but as for me, EC2 is still expensive. Check if price works for you. Buy the way AWS has a free tier the first year of usage that includes EC2 instance. So if you're sure that your project will long less than a year, it might be a good choice. ASW would be appropriate for you if you are ok with Tomcat instead of application server and you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Also I heard positive comments about Digital Ocean, but never tried it. It looks like it offers only infrastructure as service (like AWS EC2) so you will have to install and configure all servers yourself.

Windows Azure: Can I just use it like a standard Windows 2008 Server?

I've created an Azure server instance. I've deployed a simple application to it. As part of the deployment process I enabled Remote Desktop Connections.
I have some standard ASP.net applications that run on Windows, is there something to stop me deploying these applications manually to IIS using Remote Desktop. I've read so much about having to migrate standard ASP.net apps to Azure. I don't want to this as we will have customers who will still use Windows Server 2003/2008 so I don't want to have to maintain 2 versions.
Well, as I understand it, in theory you could deploy stuff using remote desktop. But when the instance shuts down/restarts you'll lose it all (unless you've built it into your startup scripts) and have to re-load everything each time. The main reason they suggest you have at least two instances is so that when one shuts down for updates etc there is always at least one other running.
The "Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles" project allows you to create an Azure web role which then enables you to use web deploy for all your other web sites - I'm guessing that will be a whole lot better approach and is definitely worth a look. Also, I believe smarx.com is a good place to browse for info and ideas.
Using a startup task and the Azure Bootstrapper you can download, unzip, install almost any kind of 3rd party software that supports either xcopy deployment (just copy the files) or an unattended(silent) install.
Assuming you aren't using Azure storage or anything like that, there shouldn't be any difference with the IIS application. If you are using anything specific to Azure, you can use the RoleEnvironment.IsAvailable to test if you are running inside Azure or not. That will return true for the emulator as well. If you want to use Azure storage from both, you can add the settings in the web.config to use if not running in Azure.

How do I find a ASP.NET hosting company that supports SQL Server with CLR enabled?

So I developed a web application in ASP.NET and SQL Server 2008. Part of the SQL code I implemented as a .NET assembly (instead of t-sql) because it is performing intense calculations that are better written in C#.
Now I am ready to deploy my application, but I am stuck looking for a hosting company that allows this. Scratch out Discount ASP (see this forum post). I tried emailing other hosting companies and I either get no reply or they say they will not support it.
Any recommendations? What's the big deal with having CLR enabled in SQL Server?
it is disabled by default and most shared hosts will be reluctant to enable it because of the potential added security issues. You could post a request to webhostingtalk. Some options:
Amazon EC2 with SQL Server or SQL Server Express Edition, a VPS (1and1 has a pretty good deal right now) running Express Edition, or of course your own dedicated box
On Amazon EC2 you get your own dedicated box, so you are free to enable / install what you see fit. You could configure a vanilla server then install the SQL Enterprise eval if you wanted.
Your own dedicated box with SQL Express may be your best bet.
