Service Oriented Architecture • “Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a software design and software architecture design pattern based on distinct pieces of software providing application functionality as services to other applications via a protocol. This is known as service-orientation. It is independent of any vendor, product or technology.” Wikipedia

ESB and SOA:why it matters “Accompanying the hype of service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are several misconceptions, one of the most prevalent - and the one with the biggest impact on IT organizations - is that SOA makes integration problems go away. • Point-to-Point – Complex Interface – Redundant Logic – Doesn’t Scale – Lacks Visibility • Business Impact – Delays Response to changing business needs SAP Service JD Edwards Service Java Appl.

BizTalk without ESBToolkit = Hub-n-Spoke – The hub, handles the information exchange and transformation for many applications or data stores, the spokes. – Inside the hub there are capabilities for requirements such as message transformation, validation, routing, and asynchronous message delivery.

- 9. ESB Paradigm •Service Bus: “An architecture that enables separate applications to work in a decoupled fashion such that applications can be easily added or removed without affecting the others”. (Hohpe & Woolf). • The term (ESB) is widely used in the context of implementing an infrastructure for enabling a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

- 16. ESB Toolkit: Itinerary Allows us to implement the ESB pattern as opposed to a Hub/Spoke pattern. It provides the runtime flexibility that BizTalk doesn’t have by default: ◦ Declarative way to configure BizTalk runtime behaviour. ◦ Xml based. ◦ Deployed into SQL as row entry in a table.
- 17. ESB Toolkit: Resolver For runtime flexibility ESB Services are not hardcoded to specific endpoints or maps. (Xml Based) This metadata must be determined at runtime. The Resolver mechanism can locate and retrieve this metadata.
- 18. ESB Toolkit: Resolvercont. The ESB Toolkit ships with the following resolvers: ◦ STATIC ◦ UDDI ◦ XPATH ◦ BRE ◦ BRI (For Itineraries only) ◦ We can extend the mechanism to add additional resolvers.
- 19. ESB Toolkit: AdapterProviders Act as a bridge between the .NET based ESB components and the BizTalk ports. It’s core responsibility is to take the information retrieved from the Resolver components and to convert it into BizTalk context properties so that the send ports can use this to route the message.
- 20. ESB Toolkit: AdapterProviders Cont. The toolkit includes the following adapter providers: ◦ WCF (WSHttp, BasicHttp and Custom) ◦ SMTP ◦ FTP ◦ File ◦ We can extend the mechanism to add additional adapter providers like MSMQ.
- 21. Itinerary Based Routing& Processing BizTalk Dynamic Send Port • Light-weight service composition (sequencing) – Invokes itinerary (internal) services and external services – Dynamic service context resolution at runtime • Maps internal service invocation to BizTalk service containers – pipelines in ports and orchestrations.

- 22. ESB and BusinessAgility 2 Maps deployed in production: ◦ Map Message1 to Message2 ◦ Map Message2 to Message3 New business scenario: ◦ Need to map Message1 to Message3 How will we accomplish this?
- 23. ESB and BusinessAgility Cont. Traditional BizTalk Solutions: ◦ New orchestration that takes the inbound message and applies consecutive maps. ◦ New map that directly transforms from Format1 to Format3. All of the above will require deployment of new dlls to production.
- 24. ESB and BusinessAgility Cont. ESB solution: ◦ BizTalk ESB is a set of services. ◦ SO, Itinerary that executes the consecutive maps. No dll deployment is required. Allows reuse of existing content by connecting existing components that weren’t originally chained together.

BizTalk ESB Toolkitprovides Service Composition Challenges: • Location & Version Changes • Sequencing Changes • Data Semantics Mismatch • Transport Protocol Mismatch • Interaction Model Mismatch • Quality of protection • Error Recovery • Monitoring & Visibility • Quality of service BizTalk ESB Solutions: Dynamic Endpoint Resolution Itinerary-based Routing Dynamic Transformation Protocol Mediation (Adapters) Itineraries-based Processing BizTalk Security Model & SSO Exception Framework & Portal BAM Integration Exception Management Portal
- 26. ESB Review •Benefits • Reusing of services. – Reusing Pipeline components & Orchestrations for multiple message types. • Deployment of changes / new versions with less or NO downtime. – Orchestrations are not bound anymore to a Map or a XSD. • Out of the box BAM. • Centralized Error Handling. – Management Portal. • Performance. – Out of the box Cache. – Low latency scenarios. • Using Pipeline Components (Messaging Services) instead of Orchestrations. • You want to expose web services with BizTalk. • Disadvantages • ESB Toolkit adds complexity to a BizTalk project. • Little documentation. • Installation is difficult. – BizTalk 2009 & BizTalk 2010. – Management Portal can be difficult to install. • It’s not fully functional out of the box. – Instead it provides a base set of ESB components that must be extended. – Management Portal is sample. • Performance. – Off Ramps are Dynamic Ports.

Editor's Notes
- #20 When the message has been processed, it is going to be sent to its destination through a dynamic send port, (a.k.a off-ramp). Usually, when using a dynamic port, we’d set the port properties such as transport type and location programmatically in an expression shape (orchestration) or in a custom pipeline component. In the case of ESB Guidance this is all done using an Adapter Provider. In other words, the Adapter Provider serves to write and promote context properties for specific adapters. ESB Guidance comes with support for the most common adapters such as WCF-BasicHttp, WCF-WSHttp, MQSeries, FILE and FTP. But for the purpose of this article, we’ll create a SMTP provider. After a resolver executes, the dynamic resolution service checks whether the result is an endpoint (not a transformation). If it is an endpoint, the service instantiates the adapter manager, which validates and fixes the transport type and the outbound transport location.The adapter manager uses the suffix stated in the transport location (eg FTP://) to determine the appropriate adapter provider. An adapter provider is a custom assembly that must implement the IAdapterProvider interface. The adapter provider uses the properties of the Resolution structure within the Dictionary instance generated by the resolver to set all the protocol-specific properties of the message that enable the BizTalk run-time engine to perform dynamic resolution.
