Editor's Notes
- #2 Hello, my name is [Name] and I am the [Title, Position and Company].
- #3 Today we are going to provide you with an introduction to Neuron ESB, it’s features, tools and operating principles. We will also take a look at the core technology and architecture of Neuron ESB, in order to provide you with a better understanding of the platform.
- #4 To facilitate our goals we will take a look at the tools and services associated with Neuron ESB. We will also look at how to create, configure and host a Neuron ESB solution so that you can get started building your own Neuron ESB solution. In addition we will also look at the Neuron ESB runtime and how it uses the WS-Discovery service, so that you can better understand the architecture behind Neuron ESB.
- #5 This session will be broken down into six sections, to help organize the information presented in this session. Neuron ESB Services and Tools Neuron ESB Solution Neuron ESB Runtime Neuron ESB Discovery Neuron ESB Runtime architecture Installing and Configuring Neuron ESB
- #6 Neuron ESB is not simply just an ESB but a full Hybrid Integration Platform. Because of this it comes with a suite of tools and services that one may not find in other ESB platforms. Because Neuron ESB is built on the .NET platform, it exposes the .NET runtime for development purposes. To compliment the Business Process designer (which is for in-memory processes and covered in later sessions) Neuron ESB provides a long running workflow designer and host. As with all ESBs, Neuron ESB is a pub/sub based platform and thus provides you a messaging service to use in transmitting data between systems. Neuron ESB provides an API/SOA gateway for hosting and consuming services. Neuron ESB provides a reporting service which provides history on the messaging service Neuron ESB ships with a number of connectors (also called adapters) that help integrate commonly used applications. A suite of management features are provided with Neuron ESB to help with maintenance and monitoring To make solutions easier to build, Neuron ESB provides designers for both business processes and workflows.
- #7 The Neuron ESB Explorer is the core Management and Development hub of the Product. This is where applications, as well as the ESB itself, are configured. It is where the Business Process and Workflow Designers are found. These along with Endpoint creation in the Explorer is how Service Brokering is done. All Messaging artifacts and Party definitions are created and stored in the Explorer. Finally management and activity tracking is also exposed in the Neuron ESB Explorer.
- #8 Neuron ESB ships with over 50 samples that can be automatically configured through the Sample Browser. The documentation is shipped with the product via a CHM file. Documentation can also be accessed online at http://www.neuronesb.com/neuron/Help3/Neuron.htm.
- #9 The Connection Manager can be used within the Neuron ESB Explorer or Neuron ESB Test Client to either declare or discover via WS-Discovery the Neuron ESB runtime hosts to connect to
- #10 The Neuron ESB Test Client is used to send and receive messages to and from the bus without the need to create an application first. It is very useful in development and troubleshooting scenarios.
- #11 Use of the Client API in .NET application delivers to developer’s fine grained code level control of messages sent and received to/from the Bus but still enables convenient centralized management, tracking and deployment of message Topics and Protocols.
- #13 The Business Process Designer is used to create agile, high-performing real-time business processes. Its graphical interface includes more than 45 different business activities to significantly accelerate the development and deployment of low latency solutions, like request/response messaging and simple VETO processing, as well as more complex scatter-gather and service orchestration patterns
- #14 The Neuron ESB Code Editors enable full in-line C#, VB .NET and JavaScript inclusion in Business Process and Workflows. The Editors support full parameter inspection, Intellisense, the ability to reference external .NET assemblies and an in-line .NET debugger.
- #15 No need to compile and deploy business processes and workflows for testing. Neuron ESB Business Process and Workflow Designers support in-place testing, simulation and debugging, so you can run test messages through processes and workflows directly in the designer. Neuron ESB’s built-in .NET debugger for the Business Process Designer means you can set breakpoints and enable easy step-by-step debugging through both activities and custom programming code. And because Neuron ESB compiles business processes and workflows at time of execution, you’ll save considerable development time compared to other integration products.
- #17 An adapter is a "driver" program that enables Neuron ESB to interact with a new kind of endpoint, such as a legacy system, proprietary system, or line of business application. Neuron ships with various pre-built adapters as well as provides you with the ability to create your own adapters if the pre-built adapters do not meet all your organization’s needs. We cover adapters in detail in a later session and more information about connectivity can be found here: http://www.neuronesb.com/neuron/Help3/whgdata/whlstt27.htm#27
- #18 The metadata generation wizard provides you with metadata for systems that require messages that are strongly typed. By allowing you to browse entities in systems such as Salesforce, Dynamics CRM, Sap and NetSuite, and create XSDs, XSLTs and even sample messages, the metadata generation wizard makes your integration to these systems fast and easy. http://www.neuronesb.com/article/introducing-new-neuron-esb-connector-metadata-generation-wizard/ http://www.neuronesb.com/article/12228/
- #20 The Neuron ESB workflow engine provides a complete environment for building, hosting, monitoring and tracking workflows. Built on top of the Windows Workflow foundation 4.5 API, the Neuron ESB workflow engine extends the functionality and features of this Microsoft product to give you a more comprehensive environment in which to work with workflows. As show in the image, everything in blue was provided by the Windows workflow 4.5 API. All the items in green are pieces that Neuron ESB adds to the API in order to give you the best possible experience.
- #21 Import existing WF workflows Workflow Simulation Print/Save/Copy/Paste Import/Export workflows 30+ New workflow activities Visual Code Editors Write code directly in workflow (C#, VB.NET and JavaScript) Custom Correlation Patterns Singleton, Request/Response, Long Running
- #22 Advanced workflow tracking and historical reporting lets you see in real time exactly what workflow activities have executed, and determine the state of each workflow at the time of execution. Upon timeout, workflows automatically persist to the database until the system receives the next activity. Then Neuron ESB’s Scheduler reactivates the workflow to continue execution. You can also unload, abort, cancel or restart workflows individually or in groups directly from the tracking system.
- #24 View messages that have succeeded in their transmission, as well as ones that have failed due to an error, allows you to constantly monitor the accuracy of your Neuron ESB solution. Auditing provides you with the ability to see both types of messages through two different reports, search and filter the results to find only what you are looking for and edit or re-submit one or multiple messages if the need should arise.
- #25 Neuron ESB’s Endpoint Health interface lets you see current endpoint, topic and workflow execution activity, as well as message count, size and rate of your running environment. Activity tracking and message statistics can also be monitored for all remotely connected clients using Neuron ESB’s Activity Session reporting. Together, these features provide a complete, real-time view into Neuron ESB’s executing environment.
- #26 With support for SOAP and REST APIs, you’ll be able to build and manage your integration and mobile platforms with ease. Service Broker is designed to expose your existing services, giving you complete visibility while shielding consumers from changes to your internal business processes.
- #28 Each Neuron ESB solution is maintained in a Windows File System Folder, with sub folders that correspond to a Neuron ESB entity type. This makes looking at the solution in the file system comparable to looking at it in the Neuron Explorer so that you can easily and quickly understand the structure of your Neuron ESB solution. Each sub folder contains Neuron ESB entity files, in the form of XML files corresponding to the Neuron Entity you created. For example creating a topic named Orders in the Neuron Explore results in a Topics folder being created in the folder structure and an XML files named Orders being created in the Topics folder.
- #29 The Neuron ESB Explorer is the UI environment where you will design, develop and manage your Neuron ESB Solution. All changes that are made to your solution should be made through the Neuron ESB Explorer as this will provide you with a running history of the changes and revisions. While you can connect to a Neuron ESB instance and view the solution running on it, changes to a solution should be made only when in offline mode, as offline loads the configuration directly from the disk while online loads the configuration from the Neuron ESB runtime host.
- #30 ** Imagine scenario where you wanted to bulk enable/disable endpoints. You could use PowerShell to do this directly by modifying the xml files Never manually edit our namespace ID, IsSystemObject or Version elements ConfigurationReloadDelay setting in esbservice.exe.config determines how long it takes for us load new config changes. Default is 1 minute * Cannot copy/paste deploy entities in the repository section, such as XML, Schema, WSDL or XSLT docs
- #31 The Neuron ESB runtime is a Windows NT Service (esbservice.exe) which is the hosting environment for all Neuron ESB’s internal services (configuration, auditing, management) as well as both adapter and services endpoints defined in your solution. Neuron ESB does support multiple instances of the runtime installed on the same machine, allowing you to have multiple Neuron ESB solutions running side by side on the same box.
- #32 Toolbar only configures local service where explorer was launched. Deployment ->Manage ->Servers can be used to configure any server instance, local or remote
- #33 The Neuron ESB discovery service (discoveryservice.exe) is responsible for knowing all the runtime instances on a machine and how they are configured. This service is used by the Neuron ESB explorer to connect to instances (online mode). This allows you to remotely configure instances in your network as well as local to your machine.
- #34 The Neuron ESB runtime host provides the hosting environment for topics, whether they be TCP, Names Pipes or Queue based such as MSMMQ. It also provides the hosing environment for publishers and subscribers, adapter and service endpoints. The Neuron ESB Client Messaging API is hosted in your .NET applications and allows you to integrate them into Neuron ESB.
- #37 For example, the following command line would perform a default silent installation of the Neuron ESB product on a server: msiexec /i NeuronESB_v3_x64_Release.msi LICENSEKEY=(key) MSINEWINSTANCE=1 MYINSTANCE=Instance1 TRANSFORMS=:Instance1 INSTALLFOLDER="C:\Program Files\Neudesic\Neuron ESB v3\" /qb /lvx* install.log http://www.neuronesb.com/neuron/Help3/Deployment/Installing_and_Configuring_Neuron/Installing/Silent_Installs_of_Neuron_ESB.htm
