Example Summary

This document describes how to configure the Visual Studio example solution that accompanies the guide Building Highly-Scalable Solutions for Storing and Retrieving Data Using SQL and NoSQL Databases. This guide focuses on the common issues that you may encounter when building applications that need to store data in a variety of different data stores, such as a relational database, a key-value store, a document database, or a graph database.

This document contains the following sections:

About the Example Solution describes the high level structure of the sample application.
Before You Start describes the procedures that you must follow before configuring and running the application.
Supported Scenarios describes how to build and run the application in each of the scenarios described in the guide.
Configure the Application describes how to modify the configuration to support each of the scenarios described in the guide.
Check the Sample Functionality describes how to verify that the application is running correctly.

About the Example Solution

The example solution implements a shopping application that enables customers to browse products and place orders. The application runs by using the web. Orders are handled by a separate order service, and for completeness the example solution includes a simulation of this order service.

The Shopping application is a polyglot system that stores the data it uses in a variety of different repositories. Each repository was selected to meet the business requirements of a specific scenario in the application:

Customer information is stored in a relational database.
Shopping cart information is stored in a key/value store.
Product information is stored in a document database.
Active order information is stored in a relational database.
Order history information is stored in a document database.
Product recommendations are stored in a graph database.

Note

The accompanying guide describes the rationale behind choosing these technologies.

There are two versions of the example solution:

The dag.sln solution, which contains an ASP.Net web application and an ASP.NET Web API web service. The web application (UI.Mvc) provides the user interface and the web service (DataAccess.MvcWebApi) provides the data access functionality. The simulated order service runs as an asynchronous task invoked by the web service.
The dag.azure.sln solution, which contains Windows Azure web roles. The first web role hosts the user interface (UI.Mvc) and the second hosts the web service (DataAccess.MvcWebApi). By default these roles run in the local development fabric, but if you have a valid Windows Azure subscription you can deploy the web roles to the cloud.

The default configuration of both versions of the solution use Visual Studio LocalDB to provide the relational database, and creates simulated in-memory NoSQL data stores to provide the key/value, document, and graph databases. The default solution also uses the task-based version of the orders service. However, you can configure the application in the following ways:

Use SQL Server 2012 running on your own computer to hold customer and order information.
Use Windows Azure SQL Database to store customer and order information in the cloud (this configuration is necessary if you wish to deploy the web roles in the dag.azure solution to the cloud).
Use Windows Azure Table service (either in the local development fabric or in the cloud) to store shopping cart information.

Note

To use Azure Table Storage, you should use the dag.azure.sln.
Use MongoDB to store product information.
Use MongoDB to store order history information.
Use Neo4J to store product recommendations.

Note

If you deploy the Windows Azure web roles to the cloud and you wish to use MonogDB and/or Neo4j to provide the NoSQL databases rather than use the simulated in-memory stores, you will need to open up access to the computers hosting these databases to the cloud.

The following schematic illustrates the high level architecture of the Shopping application. The accompanying guide describes the structure of the solution in more detail.

Before You Start

This section describes the procedures that you must follow before configuring and running the application.

Set Up Your Development Computer and Build the Solution

Make sure that you have installed the prerequisite software listed in the release notes.
Start Visual Studio as an administrator and open one of the following solutions:
1. If you want to use the version of the application that runs as an ASP.NET web application and ASP.NET Web API web service then open the dag.sln solution.
  
  Note
  
  You need to set both DataAccess.MvcWebApi and UI.Mvc as the startup projects. To do that, right click onSolution and selectSet StartUp Projects…,select Multiple startup projects:, and then change the dropdown for DataAccess.MvcWebApi and UI.Mvc from None to Start.
2. If you want to use the version of the application that runs as Windows Azure web roles then open the dag.azure.sln solution.
On the Build menu, click Build Solution.
Verify that the solution builds without any errors.

Create the Adventure Works Database

Note

You can also run the solution by using SQL Server rather than Visual Studio LocalDB. In the instructions that follow, replace the instance (localdb)\v11.0 with the instance of SQL Server that you are using to store the database.
If you wish to use Windows Azure SQL Database, omit this step and instead follow the instructions in the section To Run the Solution using Windows Azure SQL Database to Store Customer and Order Information later in this document.

Install the AdventureWorks2012 OLTP Database on your computer:
1. Download the AdventureWorks2012 Data File from http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/55330.
2. In Visual Studio 2012, on the SQL menu, point to Transact-SQL Editor and then click New Query.
3. Connect to the local development version of SQL Server Express running on your computer, (localdb)\v11.0, by using Windows Authentication.
4. In the Transact-SQL-Editor enter the following SQL statement. Replace {drive} and {file path} with the drive name and folder name where you saved the AdventureWorks2012 data file:
```
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 ON (FILENAME = '{drive}:\{file path}\AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf') FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG;
```
5. Press Ctrl+Shift+E to run the statement.
  
  Note
  
  Whenyou run this command, you may see messages similar to these:
  File activation failure. The physical file name "C:\AdventureWorks\AdventureWorks2012_log.ldf" may be incorrect.
  New log file 'C\AdventureWorks\AdventureWorks2012_log.ldf' was created.
  Convertingdatabase'AdventureWorks2012'fromversion705tothecurrentversion706.
  Database 'AdventureWorks2012' running the upgrade step from version 705 to version 706.
  You can safely ignore these messages.
Update the SalesOrderHeader and Person tables to include additional information required by the example solution:
1. Open a Windows PowerShell window as Administrator, move to the folder holding the code for the solution, move to the DataAccess/src/scripts folder, and then run the following command:
```
.\SetupDataGuidance.ps1 –createSqlTrackingId $true –createSqlPersonGuid $true –sqlConnectionString "Data Source=(localdb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks2012; Integrated Security=SSPI"
```
2. Verify that the script completes without any errors.

(Optional) Configure the UI Web Application

Note

The sample solution assumes that the UI web application and the Adventure WorksASP.NETWeb API web service are both running on the same computer. If they are running on different computers, you must modify the web.config file of the UI web application and the web service as follows:

Modify the web.config file of the web service to allow cross origin requests from the UI web application:
1. In Visual Studio 2012, in the dag or dag.azure solution, in the ServicesImplementation folder, in the DataAccess.MvcWebApi project, double-click****the web.config file.
2. In the <appSettings> section find the setting with the key of CORSHandlerAllowedHosts.
3. Change the value of the CORSHandlerAllowedHosts setting and replace the IP address 127.0.0.1 and localhost alias with the IP address and name of the computer hosting the UI web application.
4. Save the web.config file.
Modify the web.config file of the UI web application to send requests to the computer hosting the web server:
1. In the dag or dag.azure solution, in the UI folder, in the UI.Mvc project, open the web.config file.
2. Find the <appSettings> section.
3. Change the value of the baseApiUrl setting and replace the IP address 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of the computer hosting the web service.
  
  Note
  
  The web service listens for requests on port 12345. Do not change this port number in the URL.
4. Save the web.config file.
