Microsoft enterprise integration bus

How does application and systems integrate or plug into it.

"microsoft enteprise integration bus" - My understanding about this term is Microsoft' solution to implement enteprise integration bus. Is this done using BizTalk Server (Microsoft Message broker) or WCF or combination of both (BizTalk + WCF).
Now to your question.."How does application and systems integrate or plug into it in microsoft enteprise integration bus."
With BizTalk Server (since you have posted this question in BizTalk forum) using adapters you can integrate for which I have detailed in my earlier reply. With WCF, when its hosted, using HTTP protocol you can by knowing its ABC (Address,Binding,
Contract) you can integrate with its endpoint.

SAP XI versus Sonic's Enterprise Service Bus

Hi,
Question 1:
In David Chappell's book 'Enterprise Service Bus', the Sonic ESB is described. He says that the ESB is more than a hub-and-spoke integration broker: ESB is a MOM and above that several 'generic' services, which handle the traffic and routing on the bus, for instance:
- Transformation service
- Content based routing service
- Orchestration service
- Splitter service
- Etc.
Is this concept adopted in ESA? If so how is this functionality implemented?
Question 2a: does XI uses xCBL as a XML-dialect?
Question 2b: does XI make use of the canonical-XML concept (by using xCBL) ?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings Theo

As answer on question 1:
No I never found any documentation from SAP that described a ESB solution. So al the knowledge must come from other vendors in your case from Sonic.
But there is hope you can use XI in a ESB way. You must only (add) configure the ESB parts. This is done by adding a service repository for example the UDDI server in combination with some BPML engine.
By adding it al together you can execute your business processes over multiple system platforms using SOAP in a synchronic way.
This is the basic concept of a ESB.
The answer to question 2.
I dont know if XI has build in support, but a know that there are free tools that can handle Canonical XML. So you can make a service your self to handle the Canonical XML documents.

What is SAP ESB (Enterprise Service Bus)?

Hi fellow sdners gurus I have been reading threads about SAP SOA and ESB.
I do not want to start a debate on wether XI is an ESB, but more of a statement to what is SAP ESB (if XI it is, then be it).
1) What is SAP ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) today (I could not find a clear answer to is)?
2) Who uses this SAP ESB in production currently and what kind of environment (i.e. strictly SAP backend systems, or combination of various vendors backend systems)?
Can someone share some light on this topic?
As a reminder, an ESB is expected to exhibit the following characteristics (source Wikipedia):
     It is usually operating-system and programming-language agnostic; for example, it should enable interoperability between Java and .NET applications.
     It uses XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as the standard communication language.
     It supports web-services standards.
     It supports various MEPs (Message Exchange Patterns) (e.g., synchronous request/response, asynchronous request/response, send-and-forget, publish/subscribe).
     It includes adapters for supporting integration with legacy systems, possibly based on standards such as JCA
     It includes a standardized security model to authorize, authenticate and audit use of the ESB.
     To facilitate the transformation of data formats and values, it includes transformation services (often via XSLT or XQuery) between the format of the sending application and the receiving application.
     It includes validation against schemas for sending and receiving messages.
     It can uniformly apply business rules, enriching messages from other sources, the splitting and combining of multiple messages and the handling of exceptions.
     It can provide a unified abstraction across multiple layers
     It can route or transform messages conditionally, based on a non-centralized policy (i.e. no central rules-engine needs to be present).
     It is monitored for various SLA (Service Level Agreement) threshold message latencies and other SLA characteristics.
     It (often) facilitates "service classes," responding appropriately to higher and lower priority users.
     It supports queuing, holding messages if applications are temporarily unavailable.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jean-Michel

License requirements for enterprise integration

I am trying to understand how CRM licensing affects the ability to integrate data across enterprise systems.
I have read the "PremiseLicensingGuide" document, which states:
"A Microsoft Dynamics CRM User is defined as any user who accesses the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server, files, data content or “Microsoft Dynamics CRM functionality”. “Microsoft Dynamics CRM functionality”
is any service or feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM that allows a user to view, manipulate, input, query, or otherwise structure “live data”. “Live data” is information that, via user action, dynamically writes to or reads from (or synchronizes with) Microsoft
Dynamics CRM 2013 On-Premises Volume Licensing Guide | September 2013 Page 6 Microsoft Dynamics CRM, whether it is accessed directly or indirectly. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Users are required to have
the appropriate client accesses licenses, regardless of their direct or indirect connection to the product."
And further:
"Multiplexing is the use of hardware or software (including manual procedures) to reduce the number of devices or individuals that access or use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 solution functionality by
pooling connections. Multiplexing does not reduce the number of licenses required to access the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 solution functionality. Any internal user who accesses the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 solution functionality —whether directly or indirectly—must
be properly licensed"
So what does that mean in a case where CRM is an integration target for data which also resides in other systems? Say, for example, we have a situation where some of the information in the ERP system which relates to customers also needs to exist in the CRM
system, and the data is authored in the ERP. In such a case one would set up some form of enterprise integration (eg, an SSIS job or biztalk process) to move data through the systems. But would this require that every ERP user who can update customer information
in the ERP must also be licensed in Dynamics CRM?

Hardware Requirements - SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit

Experts,
We are going to prototype Xcelsius and Analysis on SAP BI data. For this reason we are going to implement the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit. As in we are getting a trial version from SAP. We have built a SAP BI Client 7 with ehancement pack 1 SP6 on a AIX server.
Do you know whether we need addiotional hardware to install the BO software. I presume one needs an application server of some sort? What is best practice in this, machine wise, operating system etc?
Though there is a lot of documentation availbale on the web, I cant find a simple server architecture.
I am useing the following documents as a guide, it says BO 3.0 but also relevant for 3.1 I presume?

How to call proxy service at enterprise service bus using flex

Hi
I have a proxy service located at wso2 enterprise service bus. How can i call that proxy service using flex?
Regards

Hi Minal, I think you can communicate with wso2 using mx:HTTPService or mx:WebService, you just need to find out which services you'll be consuming and then create the flex app to present and interact with those services.

I also think that same way. I do not know what is so apecial about BEA Aqualogic ESB and other market matured ESB products such as TIBCO & SONIC. The samples which BEA has given in their evaluation guide are very simplistic. BEA should do more to provide extensive knowledge/features about their Aqualogic line of products.

Microsoft outlook Integration with portal

Hi,
I have faced a problem when i try to implement N51 : Microsoft OutLook Integration in Best practices for Portal.
I am bit confused about the following points given in the document. can i know how to follow these steps:
1.Switch to Windows Explorer of the SAP NetWeaver Portal system.
2.Locate a server that is on the same trusted domain as the Microsoft Exchange Server with Internet Information Server (IIS) installed.
3.Copy the MSX-A Component files that came with the Exchange Transport and copy the files to the IIS server (that is C:\SAPExchangeTransport). The MSX-A components are found at <drive>:
usr\sap\<SID>\<Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\portalapps\com.sap.NetWeaver.coll.appl.gw\WEB-INF\external\exchange
(for example C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\portalapps\com.sap.NetWeaver.coll.appl.gw\WEB-INF\external\exchange).
4.Double click SAPPXchTest.exe
This launches SAP EP Test Exchange Transport Setup
5.Choose Tools -> DLL -> Register
Configure IIS
6.Open the Internet Service Manager.
Without Single Sign-On
To create and configure an IIS Web Site without single sign-on, proceed as follows:
1.Create a new Web site with the name SAPExchange and make a note of the port on which this site is running.
2.Set the permissions to execute.
3.Select the directory you just created as the home directory, for example, c:\SAPExchangeTransport
4.Open the properties dialog box for the new Web site, and choose the Directory security tab.
5.Deselect all Authentication modes.
6.Select Basic Authentication.
7.Confirm with OK.
With Single Sign-On
To create and configure an IIS Web site with single sign-on, proceed as follows:
1.Select the Web site where the SSO2KerbMap ISAPI module is installed and configured.
2.Create a new virtual directory with the name SAPExchange beneath this Web site
3.Set the permissions to Execute.
4.Select the directory you just created as the home directory, for example, c:\SAPExchangeTransport.
5.Open the properties dialog box for the new Web site, and choose the Directory security tab.
6.Deselect all Authentication modes.
7.Select Integrated Windows Authentication.
8.Confirm with OK.
Next, i am having these problem also :
when i try to configure calendar repository(choose System Administration -> System Configuration
-> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Repository Managers -> Calendar Repository. ), then i am getting the following error.
" st="b" class="urMsgBarErrBtm" id="MessageBar43b8feb2" ct="MB"> Inside the area "/cm/utilities/acl_factories", unable to find the configuration object "acl_jdbc_rep" referenced by the property "securitymgr.aclcfg" of the configuration object ".../Calendar Repository/ExchangeCalendarRepository".

Publish BUS1065 object to Enterprise Service Bus (Tibco)

Dear forum members,
We are trying to find out if a concept we designed will work. Our goal is to publish a full business object e.g. BUS 1065 (Employee) to the Enterprise Service Bus (Tibco JMS technology).
We plan to customize change pointers to the BUS object, which will trigger a replicate of the BUS object. We hope to create an outbound iDoc which will contain the full BUS object. The ESB solution will trigger a JMS publish on receiving the iDoc.
Does anybody has experience with replicating a business object for a non SAP receiver? Will our concept work?
kind regards,
Richard
