How to Run the Business Process Management Solution

  • Artikkeli

The following steps describe how to run and validate the Business Process Management solution on a single computer.

Prerequisites

Before running the BPM solution, you must perform the steps in How to Install the Business Process Management Solution.

Start the Business Process Management Solution

To start the Business Process Management Solution

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server 20xx, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, expand BizTalk Group, expand Platform Settings, expand Host Instances, right-click BizTalkServerApplication, and then click Start.

  3. In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, expand BizTalk Group, and then expand Applications.

    1. Right-click BTSScn.BPM.MessagingApp, click Start, and then click Start on the Start Application dialog box.

    2. Right-click BTSScn.BPM.OrderBrokerApp, click Start, and then click Start on the Start Application dialog box.

    3. Right-click BTSScn.BPM.CableOrderApp, click Start, and then click Start on the Start Application dialog box.

    4. Right-click BTSScn.BPM.OrderBrokerApp.Test, and click Stop. In the Stop Application dialog box, select Full Stop - Terminate instance, and then click Stop.

    Note

    To insert information in the history database. the OrderBroker orchestration uses the HistoryPort send port of which the Delivery Notification property is set Transmitted. The send port is bounded to the HistoryInsert-SPG send group which includes the HistoryInsert-SP and HistoryInsert-Test-SP send ports. For these two send ports the message engine will publish two acknowledgment messages to the OrderBroker orchestration. It makes the orchestration suspended due to unconsumed messages. To avoid this situation, you must unenlist one of the send ports. In this walkthrough, unenlist HistoryInsert-Test-SP send port by fully stopping the BTSScn.BPM.OrderBrokerApp.Test application. For more information about the OrderBroker orchestration, see Processing in the OrderBroker Orchestration. For more information about Delivery Notification property, see Using Acknowledgments.

  4. Run the Facilities Simulator as follows:

    1. Open a command prompt, change the directory to the %BTSSolutionsPath%\BPM\FacilitiesSimulator\bin\debug folder.

    2. Type BTSScnBPMFacilities.exe, and then press ENTER. Keep the FacilitiesSimulator running. This application simulates the facilities processing back-end systems at Southridge Video.

    3. In the FacilitiesSimulator, type the following receive and transmit queues:

      Name Value
      Receive Queue .\private$\ToFacilitiesQ
      Transmit Queue .\private$\FromFacilitiesQ

    4. In the FacilitiesSimulator, Click Start.

  5. Run the Operation Server as follows:

    1. Open a new command prompt, change the current directory to the %BTSSolutionsPath%\BPM\OperationsServer\bin\debug folder.

    2. Type BTSScnBPMOperations.exe 8881 at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. Keep the Operation Server running. The Operation Server listens on the TCP port, 8881, to receive error messages from the Ops Adapter. It displays the error messages received by the Ops Adapter.

  6. Run the Cable Provisioning System as follows:

    1. Open a new command prompt, change the current directory to the %BTSSolutionsPath%\BPM\CableProvisioningSystemServer\bin\debug folder.

    2. Type BTSScnBPMProvisioning.exe 8880, and then press ENTER. Then, keep the Cable Provisioning System running. The Cable Provisioning System listens on the TCP port, 8880. This application simulates a back-end order system, and displays the final orders.

Run and validate the Business Process Management Solution

To submit a new order and validate the solution

  1. In Internet Explorer, in the Address box, type the URL for the Customer Service Web application as following:

    • http://localhost/CSRWebApp/CSRMainForm.aspx

  2. On the Southridge Video Customer Service Rep Order Entry Form page, enter a new order in the following table, and then click Submit Order.

    Entry Value
    Customer ID 1
    Order ID 1
    Sequence Number 1
    Service Type Code New Standard Service

  3. On the Southridge Video Customer Service Rep Order Entry Form page, the result message as follows:

    Customer ID 1 Order ID 1 Sequence Number 1

  4. Validate that the placed order at the command prompt running the Cable Provisioning System. The application display the messages that the submitted order is analyzed, activated, and then completed.

  5. Validate that the number of the total messages is incremented by one on the Facilities Simulator.

To submit a duplicate while the BizTalk Server is processing the original order

  1. In Internet Explorer, in the Address box, type the URL for the Customer Service Web application as following:

    • http://localhost/CSRWebApp/CSRMainForm.aspx

  2. In the FacilitiesSimulator, click Stop. It prevents submitted orders from being processed further.

  3. On the Southridge Video Customer Service Rep Order Entry Form page, enter a new order in the following table, and then click Submit Order twice to simulate duplicated orders.

    Entry Value
    Customer ID 2
    Order ID 1
    Sequence Number 1
    Service Type Code New Standard Service

  4. On the Southridge Video Customer Service Rep Order Entry Form page, the result message as follows:

    Customer ID 2 Order ID 1 Sequence Number 1

  5. In the FacilitiesSimulator, click Start. The orchestrations waiting for the responses from the Facilities Simulator will resume. It simulates that a duplicate order is submitted while the first order is being processed.

  6. Check the placed orders at the command prompt running the Cable Provisioning System. The application displays the messages that only the first order is analyzed, activated, and then completed.

  7. Check the error message for the duplicated orders at the command prompt running the Operation Server.

To update an order while the BizTalk Server is processing the order

  1. In Internet Explorer, in the Address box, type the URL for the Customer Service Web application as following:

    • http://localhost/CSRWebApp/CSRMainForm.aspx

  2. In the FacilitiesSimulator, click Stop.

  3. On the Southridge Video Customer Service Rep Order Entry Form page, enter a new order in the following table, and then click Submit Order.

    Note

    There will be an error in the event log and in the operations server. The response message from the Facilities System no longer correlates back to an instance of the business process as it was terminated by the interruption caused by the new order with a higher sequence number. Therefore response message is orphaned and will get routed to the operations server. For more information about order updates, see Order Flow through the Process Manager.

  12. Open the latest message in the %SystemDrive%:\BPMTest\HistoryUpdate-SP folder with Notepad. Check CustName, OrderNum, OrderSeqNum, and Status fields to see if the message has been created for the new order and the Status field is COMPLETED.
