BizTalk RFID Workshop for Partners now open for registration

  • Artykuł

This fantastic 2-day course is being run by Microsoft Partner Readiness Team in Australia and the course has been developed by Breeze Training. This workshop is now open for Partners for Registration - please contact the Partner Readiness Team for details: sharmig@microsoft.com

BizTalk RFID Workshop – End-to-End

This aim of this 2 day hands-on course is to take the student from the “nuts and bolts” of BizTalk RFID to enriching and utilizing BizTalk RFID information streams as part of Business Intelligence. The course also teaches the students how to integrate with external systems, create and call Business Rules, as well as put in place proactive monitoring around the end-to-end solution.

As part of the ‘student pack’ for this course, each student is provided with a real (non virtual) BizTalk RFID compatible RFID Reader that will be used throughout the course, which the student can take home at course completion.

The course will teach students how:

·  Develop and implement low level BizTalk RFID Interfaces in implementing their own BizTalk RFID Providers and Process Components.

·  Develop and incorporate Business Rules to help drive the BizTalk RFID process.

·  Active solution Monitoring using Operations Manager 2007 and the BizTalk R2 Management Pack.

·  Create and call an exposed WCF Service synchronously.

·  Integrate with a BizTalk 2006 R2 environment.

·  Enable End-To-End Business Activity Monitoring.

The course is aimed for developers and solution architects. Following is the course outline:

Module 1 – Introduction to BizTalk RFID

This module introduces Microsoft BizTalk RFID and typical solutions it provides to common business problems. The module also looks at the BizTalk RFID architecture and discovers how BizTalk RFID operates under the hood.
 

Module 2 - Installing BizTalk RFID

 

This module describes the types of installations supported, and guides us through installing BizTalk RFID for the first time. There is also a walk-through of the RFID Services Manager, which highlights the difference between physical and logical devices.

Module3 - Examining Physical Devices

This module will explore the various types of RFID devices available. We will install your very own RFID device and get it up and running on your machine.

Module 4 – BizTalk RFID Device Providers Explained

This module will look at the device provider’s role in the BizTalk RFID stack. We will look briefly at the DSPI and examine how it provides a unified way for our business applications to manage, configure, and communicate with various physical RFID devices. The module will show sample code using BizTalk RFID object model.

Module 5 - Building RFID Processes

In BizTalk RFID we manage logical groups of components in RFID processes. In this module we will examine the types of components that make up an RFID process, understand the difference between logical and physical devices, and see how we use bindings to connect them. We will learn what an event pipeline is and take a look at the various out-of-the-box components that ship with BizTalk RFID.

Module 6 – Creating Custom RFID Event Handlers

This module will focus on the event processing pipeline, as we learn when and how to create our own event handler components to filter, enrich, and process tag event data.

Module 7 - The Role of Business Rules

The Business Rules Engine allows for externalising key decision process points. This allows RFID processes to be more flexible and highly repeatable. In this module we will examine the OOTB rule engine policy executor component as well as looking at how we can call business rules from our custom event handlers.

Module 8 - Publishing and Consuming WCF Services in RFID

Enabling BizTalk RFID processes to consume WCF Services provides enormous value to upstream process consumers, such as Microsoft BizTalk Server. Integration and instrumentation of BizTalk RFID throughout the Enterprise provides rich, meaningful information ideally delivered to the user’s desktop, thus abstracting the actual process to another information stream within the Enterprise. This module will discuss consuming and publishing BizTalk RFID processes with WCF Services, essentially allowing for the ease of integration. Both Synchronous and Asynchronous message patterns will be examined.

Module 9 - Consuming and BAM enabling End-To-End RFID processes in Microsoft BizTalk Server

This module will walk through the ease of integrating BizTalk RFID with Microsoft BizTalk Server and will integrate the BizTalk RFID processes with BizTalk Server allowing for the Orchestrating of BizTalk RFID processes within the larger Business Process and the Enterprise.

Module 10 - Effective Monitoring + Performance Consideration for Microsoft BizTalk RFID Deployments

This module will discuss effective BizTalk RFID System and Process monitoring within different scenarios to actively monitor for better health from a Microsoft Operations Manager 2007 environment. The module also focuses on steps to take for proactive monitoring, rather than reactive. The student will also learn how to configure and setup this environment to ensure effect health monitoring of their BizTalk RFID Environment

Module 11 - BizTalk RFID Tips and Tricks

This module will cover key tips and tricks when implementing BizTalk RFID, with respect to maximising performance, optimising the BizTalk Rules Engine for performance, deployment and tweaking the IIS hosted BizTalk RFID Processes.
