SOA Glossary

Many times I was asked to explain different SOA related terms.
In this I would to recommend www.soaglossary.com web site where you can
find complete list of term related SOA field.

I would like also announce (after short silence) new chapter in my blog
which will be about new features of BizTalk 2010 , Windows Server AppFabric.
May be will be some posts about SOA and Azure technologies.

How to poll database using WCF-SQL adapter

Image
1. Create database and tables2. Create stored procedure 3. Create BizTalk project 4. Create orchestration 5. Consume WCF-SQL 6. Write received data to file share


First create TESTWCFSQL database from you SQL Management studio Run the script to create table:
USE TESTWCFSQL GO
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.MainData', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.MainData GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.MainData ( MainDataID int primary key identity(1,1), FirstName nvarchar(30), LastName nvarchar(30), Amount int ) GO

Run script in SQL management studio to create procedure
IF EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE SPECIFIC_SCHEMA = N'dbo' AND SPECIFIC_NAME = N'PollData' ) DROP PROCEDURE dbo.PollData GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.PollData AS select MainDataID, FirstName, LastName, Amount from dbo.MainData delete from dbo.MainData GO
insert some sample lines executing
use TESTWCFSQL
insert into MainData (FirstName, LastName, Amount) values (N'Patrick', N'Cash', 1000), (N&#…

XML debatch in pipeline

Image
Last month I had a post were described how to debatch XML message in orchestration using XPath. http://biztalk.kirakosyan.com/2010/02/debatching-records-from-wcf-sql-using.html How I wrote it is not the best solution , in case if you will have hundreds of records the debatching using XPath will consume too much memory and processor.
In this post I am going to show how to debatch using pipeline. The sample will fetch multiple records from MS SQL database and after debatching put them to folder.
How to create simple WCF-SQL ports and SQL polling you can read in my old post http://biztalk.kirakosyan.com/2010/02/how-to-pull-database-using-wcf-sql.html I will use the same procedure and table to generate Schemas and PortTypes
In generated schema change envelop type to yes


Next click on TypePolling which is the root for schema
In properties find Body XPath
and edit it as in picture is
Then change the last node to have Max Occurs = 1
Now we should remove hidden stones :-)
When you added adapter metadata f…

Running Stockfish hosted in Azure function

Image
While working on small chess application had an idea to integrate Stockfish engine, so it will be possible to play with engine.
More about Stockfish here : https://stockfishchess.org/
and here https://github.com/mcostalba/Stockfish

The idea is to pass FEN and Depth for calculation to some API which will suggest the best move.
My main problem is that the goal is to host engine in Azure, as function written in C# while Stockfish is in C++. There are of course some .net ports but really outdated and did not want to experiment with them.

First step is just to clone git repo of Stockfish and build exe file, put it into separate folder in my solution. Stockfish is a command line tool. I will send the commands to console and read the output.

This is what I will send and get:


And in the solution it will look like this:

With "No build" and "Copy to output" options

The function by itself to get the request is pretty simple:
[FunctionName("stockfish")]
        public stat…
