SLEEP, WORKOUT, DEVELOP, DM, REPEAT
And life got in the way. I just checked and my last blog was from 2017. That’s quite a long time ago, to say the least. Back then we bought an old house which needed some, uhrm, work. Which took quite some time, but now it is time to get this thing going again. I want to drop my thoughts and also missed some motivation to get things out. And...
I was having a problem with getting Basic Authentication into BizTalk’s automatic deployment. It’s not something you want to have your administrators do after each deployment, especially not if you have many web services deployed. So I needed a solution for this, but was not succeeding online for my BizTalk specific case. There’s just no way to do it out-of-the-box with the BizTalk Deployment Framework. There’s a pretty easy way...
I thought of writing a nice article for Easter. So what’s more appropriate than writing about RabbitMQ? Not a bunny, but it has big ears. Close enough. A couple of months ago Microsoft announced it would no longer support the on-prem version of it’s popular Azure Service Bus Messaging, also known as Service Bus for Windows Server. Why? Because apparently everyone is moving to the cloud and hybrid is the future. This is true,...
So that Compose JSON action in Azure Logic Apps is kinda under-documented. At least, I had to figure it out all by myself, but when you get the hang of it, it is actually quite simple. The action accepts JSON and only JSON. So don’t you dare to enter invalid JSON. You will be punished by a Logic App that you can’t save. Compose JSON So the action is meant to compose...
This morning I had my InBody checkup done to check the December damage. I must say, I was quite surprised by the results. It looked better than I expected. A total score of 90 out of 100. Quite subjective, but still happy with it 🙂 My blood pressure was almost by the book, 127/83. My blood pressure has always been OK, also when I am pretty stressed out. So not too...
I have been struggling with some performance issues with mappings last year. The received messages could get up to 200 MB and a lot of data had to be looked up from other records in that same request message during the mapping. The only way to improve performance was by using XSLT, on which I wrote a post last year. Eventually even that was not enough and I had to resort to using C#....
So I have put my first code sample up on MSDN’s Code Gallery. The code sample demonstrates a way to automatically generate serialization classes from XSD schemas using a Text Template (T4 Template). There’s no need to run XSD.exe each time, instead you can run the Custom Tool of the Text Template and have all serialization classes generated of your XSDs. Click here to navigate to the code sample. Copy of the...
I had a colleague rant about the fact that new year’s resolutions are stupid, which they are. Resolutions are stupid, because they are just… resolutions. In most cases they are not even S.M.A.R.T. Most people don’t even stick to them most of the time. So why bother? Instead of new year’s resolutions, I would like to approach them as goals. That way I am supposed to define them SMART 😉 Since goals...
A lot of people know me as the integration person, but there’s more to life than just integration (IMHO there is at least). You can find me in the gym several times a week and if you need some advice on food, you can always ask me 🙂 I notice a lot of people are saying they are “going to diet” to get rid of those extra kilos, especially now,...
Just a reminder in my own online error log 🙂 I got this error for the first time in my life and came across some solutions online. If you try to expand the Applications node (or refresh your configuration in general), you’ll end up getting the following error: Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints. The solution is simple: Restart the Distributed Transaction Coordinator
As you’ve probably noticed (or not), I didn’t write a blogpost on Integrate 2016 day 2, nor did I do that for day 3. I did write a Day 1 recap though. The reason is that Day 1 is traditionally a whole lot of Microsoft talk. It’s all about new and updated stuff, things that really need to get out to the world. That doesn’t mean day 2 and 3 are less interesting,...
