Service Bus related issues

 

You may face errors while doing the tutorials that require Relays / Service Bus - where you are supposed to Create LOB Relay and Target for the Operations.

Message: 'Error occurred while trying to bring up the relay service. Error Message: 'The remote name could not be resolved: 'mysbname-sb.accesscontrol.windows.net'

The issue is because any Service Bus namespace created via portal after August 2014, will not have an accompanying ACS namespace and MABS relies on ACS for the authentication.

For more details, have a look at Service Bus namespace creation on portal no longer has ACS connection string

 

Trying to use newly created Service Bus Queue on the receive side. While deploying the VS project, getting an error.

Error 1 QueueSource1 deployment failed at 'https://mymabs.biztalk.windows.net/default/passSB/sources/QueueSource1'. Failed to connect to the Service Bus using specified configuration.

This issue is due to the service using an older version of Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll which does not support Partitioning entities. Partitioning entities is available in 2.2 onwards versions of Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll.

2. Use custom create option while creating queues\topics. In the second page, user should DISABLE partitioning – UNCHECK THE CHECKBOX
