Install Service Bus Connect

Service Bus Connect is organized in two big modules:

• Developer SDK
  • Windows Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs (EAI): Previously installed, which means that installing the Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs we can install the whole bundle needed to start working.
  • Microsoft WCF LOB Adapter SDK 2010: Its a requirement to use the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010.
  • Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010: Needed if our app will send messages to LOB on-premises systems like SAP, SQL Server, Oracle e Siebel.
• Runtime & Tools
  • Windows Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs (EAI): Previously installed, which means that installing the Azure Service Bus EAI and EDI Labs we can install the whole bundle needed to start working.
  • Microsoft WCF LOB Adapter SDK 2010: Its a requirement to use the Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010.
  • Microsoft BizTalk Adapter Pack 2010: Needed if our app will send messages to LOB on-premises systems like SAP, SQL Server, Oracle e Siebel.
  • Runtime Service: Runs on-premise to manage all communications between local LOB systems and the EAI apps running in Service Bus.
  • PowerShell: Extensions to manage Service Bus Connect Runtime components.

As we can check some components are common in Developer SDK and Runtime&Tools, this is because in a normal business environment we assume that is going to exist a machine to develop the applications and another to have them running.

System requirements

• Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 (Professional or +)
• .NET Framework 4 or superior.
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
• Microsoft Visual C# .NET
• SQL Server
• LOB Server client libraries (To establish the communications with the LOB target that we want. Net framework 4 install the SQL Server library automatically.
• Windows Server AppFabric 1.0 or 1.1
• AppFabric needs:
  • Installing the KB980423 hotfix for windows in order to fix some AppFabric and IIS bugs. This must be done after the installation of appfabric
  • Uninstall any previous appfabric version
  • IIS 7.0 or superior
    • After installing go to : “Turn windows features on or off” (use windows search text box to do it faster) and activate:
      • IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility
      • Windows Authentication
  • Insure the following:
    • We are local network administrators
    • We have permission to create SQL server databases using dbo schema.
