DRC: "-- This is a great article which provides in-depth information on internals of Online & Offline rebuild index and Transaction logging. -- The following statement need to be re-written for more clarity. “The less logging can be
attributed to the fact that no information about page allocation is logged information about de-allocation is logged please see below figure 13. Also if you compare amount of record returned in this case we had output containing just 64 rows while offline

Transact-SQL Technical Guru - May 2014
Naomi N
T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""

JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"

DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
Jinchun Chen: "Good."
JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"

Create a wiki article about it!

BizTalk User Credentials, Certificates in transport header

BizTalk handles user credentials in Enterprise Single Sign on and the certificates are stored in Certificate store. I have been asked a general question, Is it possible that user credentials & certificates in a transport header? I am not exactly
sure on this.
Vijay

You were asked this? The problem is that the question really doesn't make sense because SSO & the Cert Store and any transport header really have nothing to do with each other.
Also, in the scope of (assuming) an HTTP/SOAP header, it would be highly unusual to have both user credentials and a Certificate because they both exist, in that context, for authentication.
So, to clarify, yes, you can have user credentials or a certificate in a header (there's more than one) for authentication.
The credentials can come from SSO, but don't have to. The certificate would come from the Cert Store.

Install BizTalk 2013 R2 + SQL Server on cluster - MSDTC Failure

Hi, Folks.
I'm trying to install BTS 2013 R2 using SQL Server on a cluster. Successfully I've configured SSO (on same BTS server), BRE and Group, perhaps when I try to install Runtime there is an error:
The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) may not be configured correctly. Ensure that the MSDTC service is running and DTC network access is allowed on the BizTalk, SQL and SSO Master servers. For more information, see "MSDTC Configuration
settings required for BizTalk Server" in the BizTalk Server Help.
Internal error: "New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. "
Well, I get DTCPing and take a test between my BTS server and MSDTC cluster server, which runs fine. I don't have any firewall between those servers. After, I've checked my DTC settings in both sides. They are configured properly, according to MS:
MSDTC Cluster settings
BTS Server settings
After, I've looked to Event Viewer and I found a warning message from SSO every 30 seconds when BTS Config is trying to install BTS Runtime:
Could not access the SSO database. If this condition persists, the SSO service will go offline.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding..
SQL Error code: 0xFFFFFFFE
I "googled" it and found this issue is generally related to my BizTalk user permission on database server, perhaps, my user have high privileges in all DB servers which compose my cluster.
All servers (3 from DB cluster and 1 for BTS) runs Windows 2012 R2 64-bit, my SQL Server version is 2014 and BTS user and related groups bellows to my domain. I really don't understand what's going on.

Hi, Shankycheil.
My 3 SQL Cluster nodes share the same CID, so, I've reconfigured two nodes, reboot each server and install MSDTC again. After that, DTCPing stops to show the CID warning.
MSDTC cluster residents on same server with have SQL Server cluster.
After, following Ashwin Prabhu suggestion, I've unconfig and config all BTS itens again, perhaps, at BTS Group I got the same error.
Looking at my BTS MSDTC trace file I see an timeout erro, while BTS Group config is running:

My remote MSDTC server has a huge capability and I don't see any high consume process at this time to give me this timeout error.
At least, I've tried run "msdtc -tmMappingSet"
and "msdtc.exe -tmMappingView"
on BTS server, but I got an error message from msdtc.exe:
Error occurred while trying to perform the above operation. Check the trace file for more information
I don't see any error at trace, only at eventvwr showing an error event "Invalid command line arguments.". This configuration must be done at BTS server-side or my MSDTC cluster?

BizTalk Published Web Service unable to consume, Token-Based Server access validation error

Hi, We have developed a BizTalk application and we have published as web service, but when we are trying to consume the application we are getting the an error and its logged
in event log.
While deploying we have allowed Anonymous user access for the web services as well.
Following are the errror details -
"Login failed for user 'IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0 Classic'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: <local machine>]"
I tried to change it other App pool as well. It seems an issue with permissions related to BizTalk user's/Group,
Please suggest which app pool should we select or should we give permissions to App Pools.

The User of App Pool should be part of "BizTalk Isolated Host Users Group".
In your case user is "IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0 Classic", so either you add this user to BizTalk Isolated Host Users
Group or create a new App Pool with new user. I would suggest to go for new user specific to BizTalk.
This permission is required because IIS(App Pool(w3wp.exe)) will be publishing new messages to BizTalk Databases. So they should have required permissions to do that and in BizTalk we have a default group for the same, as suggested by Shankycheil.
BizTalk Isolated Host Users
The default name of the first Isolated BizTalk Host Group created by Configuration Manager. Isolated BizTalk hosts not running on BizTalk Server, such as HTTP and SOAP.
Use one BizTalk Isolated Host Group for each Isolated Host in your environment.
Contains service accounts for the BizTalk Isolated host instance in the host that the Isolated BizTalk Host Group is designated for.

Trace.WriteLine not working - SOS

Hi guys, thanks for been out there helping us just for the fun of it.
I'm sorry if this is a very basic question, but i'm a real Biztalk beginner, and looking forward to survive!
They have a orquestration here, conects to SAP RFC and gets data from it to load on SQL. In the orchestration code, there is the a shape type Expression, as you can see in the print.
I have been searching everywhere and tried everything, but just can't get it to work...
I installed debugview, as suggested in the Microsoft KB (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa949437(v=bts.20).aspx), ran the orchestration but no signal of life, nothing gets
written on the application log.. :(
How can I get this to work ? The idea is that to use this shape is to write a event on the Application EventViewer...
Thanks in advance

When you write the event log from any application, the event source needs to be already created, or the application itself will try to create it before writing to it.
To create the source, you need permission to read all event logs to make sure that the new source name is unique. So even though BizTalk User account has enough rights
to write to the eventlog if it has no rights to read EventLog\Security log, it wont write to Event log.
You need to grant Read Access to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Security
for BizTalk User.

Domain users creation for BizTalk server 2013 installation

Hi all,
I am setting up biztalk 2013 environment clustered BizTalk server and single sql server. I would like to know the list of domain users and domain groups to be created and which groups these users to be a member of. I am also installing and would be using
Sharepoint to develop BizTalk interfaces.
Thanks
Please Help
Vikram

Hi Vikram ,
You need to create below Windows group on your AD before you start your BizTalk Configuration .
1)SSO Administrators:Administrator of the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) service.
2)SSO Affiliate Administrators :Administrators of certain SSO affiliate applications.Can create/delete SSO affiliate applications, administer user mappings, and set credentials for affiliate application users.
3)BizTalk Server Administrators:Has the least privileges necessary to perform administrative tasks Can deploy solutions, manage applications, and resolve message processing issues.
To perform administrative tasks for adapters, receive and send handlers, and receive locations, the BizTalk Server Administrators must be added to the Single Sign-On Affiliate Administrators.
4)BizTalk Server Operators:Has a low privilege role with access only to monitoring and troubleshooting actions
5) BizTalk Application Users:The default name of the first In-Process BizTalk Host Group created by Configuration Manager.Use one BizTalk Host Group for each In-Process host in your environment.Includes accounts with access to In-Process
BizTalk Hosts (hosts processes in BizTalk Server, BTSNTSvc.exe).
6)BizTalk Isolated Host Users :The default name of the first Isolated BizTalk Host Group created by Configuration Manager. Isolated BizTalk hosts not running on BizTalk Server, such as HTTP and SOAP.Use one BizTalk Isolated Host Group for
each Isolated Host in your environment.
7)BAM Portal Users :Has access to BAM Portal Web site.
8)BizTalk SharePoint Adapter Enabled Hosts :Has access to Windows SharePoint Services Adapter Web Service
9)BizTalk B2B Operators Group : A new BizTalk role that reduces the onus on the Administrators to perform all Party management operation. This role allows windows users associated with the role to perform all party management operations.
Now coming to domain User , you can have single -multiple setting were you can run SSO ,InProcess and Isolated on different domain user . You can also run all the configuration settings on single user as well .
Thanks

BizTalk Powershell Provider Mount remote BizTalk drive: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'

I've been dabbling in the Powershell BizTalk Provider Extensions for some automation of deployment and such. So far it's pretty cool on a local machine, but the real benefits to me would be to do it remotely. Does anyone have any experience in the with the
following issue?
My BizTalk Server and SQL Servers are on separate machines which I think is the issue, but I don't know how to resolve. I've tried to provided credentials to the New-PSDrive command, but get the following errors:
The provider does not support the use of credentials. Perform the operation again without specifying credentials.
I'm trying to manage a remote BizTalk instance. The machine running the script has biztalk fully configured and can connect
to the Target Server just fine. The issue comes when I try to mount the "BizTalk:" drive
Enter-pssession -computername myServer -configurationname microsoft.powershell32
$InitializeDefaultBTSDrive = $false;
Remove-PSSnapin -Name BizTalkfactory.PowerShell.Extensions;
Add-PSSnapin -Name BizTalkfactory.PowerShell.Extensions;
New-PSDrive -Name BizTalk -PSProvider BizTalk -Root "BizTalk:\" -Instance mySqlServer -Database BizTalkMgmtDb -Scope Global
When it get to the New-PSDrive I get the following error:
New-PSDrive : Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (BizTalk:PSDriveInfo) [New-PSDrive], BtsException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 0,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewPSDriveCommand
Has anyone experienced this and solved? The same error occurs when use Invoke-Command as well.

It seems that the PowerShell provider is not Microsoft Support, it is community supported through the CodePlex site -
http://psbiztalk.codeplex.com
Right, I posted there as well, but there is not much movement on the site. I was hoping to find if this larger community may have had some experience with the provider.

WCF-WebService count, accessed by the end user, the wcf-webservice published BizTalk orchestration as wcf-webservice.

Hi BizTalk Experts,
Please help me out, following is my scenario.
I had published orchestration as wcf-service, for integration purpose. Now I need to count, how many times the service accessed and failed and successful bye users.
Thanks
Teegala.
Teegala

If you need to know how many times the orchestration was called, you can use BAM just like when the orchestration wasn't exposed as web service.
The success/failure rate depends on what you mean by that: functional (which is part of the workflow in the orchestration) or technical (which is infra related).

Windows user group for BizTalk contains # characters

I wanted to know if a windows user group is used in BizTalk Server 2013 which contains a naming convention that includes the # character would operate ok in BizTalk and SQL. PLease see the example below:
eg. domain\#mg-dd-BizTalk-SSO-Affiliate-Admins
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,
There are some naming conventions followed while creating the Windows user groups. not a concrete ones..one of them is here.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775802(v=ws.10).aspx
When it comes to BizTalk, if I can recollect, one of our clients had Windows user group with a symbol like yours which did work without any issues. But we suggested them to change the user group's name as this could affect some of our automated scripts like
Powershell/C# programs. For which they agreed and changed their Windows user group to ones without any symbols.
Yes, this would work but might fail for any of your automated maintenance scripts. Note: This experience with my client is with BizTalk 2006 and I have tested the case for latest versions.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.

Couldn't Consume user credential webservice in Biztalk 2010

Hi,
When I consume webservice from biztalk I am getting WS web security error 181001. I tried SOAP,WS-custom adapter and WS-basichttp adapter.
But I couldn't consume web service.Please help me.Thanks in advance

Just a guess from the heading,
While using SOAP adapter
1) use the SOAP.username and SOAP.Password properties to pass the credentials
While using WS- adpater
WCF.Username and WCF.Password properties.
You can use them in orchesestrations.

NN: "Good article. The SSIS solution can use a bit more explanation. Also See Also section is missing"
DRC: "This is good article, The only this which can be corrected is : ==> This can be achieved using “maintenance Cleanup Task • Maintenance Plan has a control flow item “maintenance Cleanup Task” to delete the old backup files based
on age of the backup, but it creates the problem when it deletes the full database backups based on n no.of days leaving all the dependent intermediate differential and transaction logs which are useless. "

Claims Based Authentication and Editing User Profiles

Hi All,
I have an interesting issue where I have a SharePoint Farm setup with both the intranet and mysites web applications setup using Claims Based Authentication. While everything seems to work fine, you are able to search for users, view properties and users
can change their own profile properties. However when you configure a profile administration account (an account with the "manage user profiles" permission on the User Profile Service Application) and you attempt to use that account to edit
another users profile you get hit with a generic error page.
Delving deeper you get the following errors:

It seems similar to an issue in the blog post here: http://kb4sp.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/user-cannot-be-found-shenanigans-one-way-active-directory-trusts-and-sharepoint-2013/ however I tried what was suggested and it didn't work.
Any help with this is appriciated.

This line offers clues about the actual problem:
Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserNotFoundException: DOMAIN\AUSER
According to the MSDN link (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.userprofiles.usernotfoundexception.aspx)
it is not able to find the user in the profile store. Additionally the link you mentioned (http://kb4sp.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/user-cannot-be-found-shenanigans-one-way-active-directory-trusts-and-sharepoint-2013)
suggests that the account being used to validate accounts on the production domain may have a problem.
If there a way you can test that account in isolation against the DC?
