I have a question about the BizTalk Adapter Service for BizTalk Services. I know that the adapter runs in IIS - I would like to know if that is only necessary for development or for run-time too?
Because I would like to use BizTalk Services to insert XML messages into an Azure SQL:
Using Azure BizTalk Services to Insert XML Messages into an Azure SQL Server
Would I need to provide a server just for hosting the adapter? If so, that wouldn't make much sense to me
roxor, I believe that you are correct in the suspicion that you need to host the adapter service and I agree that it makes no sense. I simply do not think this is a scenario currently 'properly' covered by BizTalk Services.
The adapter service has been introduced to support integration with
several on-premises systems, SQL Server amongst them -
The BizTalk Adapter Service feature allows an application in the cloud
to communicate with a Line-of-Business (LOB) system on-premise, in
your network, behind your firewall. Using the LOB adapters in the
BizTalk Adapter Pack (BAP), a BizTalk Adapter Service application can
execute LOB operations to the following on-premise LOB systems: •
Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle Database
• Oracle E-Business Suite
• SAP
• Siebel eBusiness Applications

It does that by utilising Windows Azure Service Bus' Relay service. I don't think that Windows Azure SQL Database natively fits the model and although I can see how it can be done it does seem very awkward and quite pointless. In my humble opinion this article shouldn't have been published.
I would imagine that integration with SQL Database would be added to WABS natively eventually, until then, if it was down to me, I'd front it with a web service. Makes sense architecturally anyway.
yes Adapter service is required during runtime .
the role of Adapter service is to pick the message from service bus relay and send it to Azure SQL DB .
i am checking how it works if Adapter service is in stop state .
you can refer the article for more knowledge of BiztalK adapter Service

I was looking for the way to connect my Azure Web App using a hybrid connection to my On Premise Database server, Oracle Linux.
Any suggestions?
greetings.
Unfortunately, Hybrid Connection Manager does not Support for Linux. The Hybrid Connections feature requires a relay agent in the network that hosts your Hybrid Connection endpoint. The reply agent (HCM) is not supported on anything earlier than Windows Server 2012. Refer to this doc: Azure App Service Hybrid Connections.
Also, you can vote this for HCM Support for Linux so that Azure App Service Team will receive your feedback and will have a support plan in the future.
It is recommended to run Oracle Software on Azure which brings scalability, flexibility, security, and performance to your Oracle workloads—while reducing the cost of infrastructure management. You can see the list of Oracle images.
I have a .Net Core 2 app that needs to call a WCF service. I've been able to add connected service and it consumed the WSDL ok. My problem is, the call needs to be made via Azure Service Bus Relay.
I realise that the MS docs suggest .Neg Core clients use "Hybrid Connections" instead of WCF Relay but I have a BizTalk 2016 app listening at the other side of the WCF Relay, waiting to return data to the client. As far as I can tell, there is no capability for BizTalk to work with Hybrid Connections.
In .Net core it seems the only option for the WCF client is to configure via code (no app.config or equivalent). I can use the following:
svc.Endpoint.Binding = new System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding(System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpSecurityMode.None);
However, there is no System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpRelayBinding? Has anyone managed to make calls to the Azure Service Bus Relay from .Net Core?
I found a solution for this problem and blogged about it here: BizTalk and the Hybrid Connection Manager
We need to develop integration between ERP (Dynamics Nav) and cloud-based telephony provider.
The provider needs to have an endpoint published and accessible from internet but for security reasons it is not possible for us to allow inbound connections to our network. I think it should be possible to solve this by hosting small application in Azure which will serve as endpoint for telephony provider and to which ERP will connect as outbound persistent connection. The app will just forward requests to ERP.
Since I'm new to Azure the question is what of azure capabilities I could use to solve the task aside from hosting actual VM with application there?
I've just implemented the same using Azure Service Bus.
The VOIP system is putting a small JSON with call details after the end of the call and I'll get the messages from the Service Bus Queue from NAV.
The code is not complicated at all the whole solution is simple and cheap!
Let me know if you want to know more (= you need the code).
Cheers!
Azure AD has the concept of an "application proxy" that will open internal applications up using a connector that runs on prem. This doesn't require inbound ports and is protected by Azure AD authentication.
It's intended more as a user-facing way to get access to Legacy applications, although I don't see why it couldn't be used for integration as well.

Otherwise, you could link an Azure Site to Site VPN up and use a service like API gateway to manage connections though this is more complicated.
I am working on a Hybrid solution in which a Azure BizTalk services (PaaS model) need to connect On-Premises IBM ESB. I have tried the "HybridConnection" to connect with on-premises service but with no result.
How a BizTalk service can connect to On-Premises web service (non WCF).
Is there any LOB adapter available for IBM ESB which can be added in BizTalk Adapter services?
Thanks
You can try an alternative approach.
You can create a worker role in Azure, which can connect to the on-prem IBM ESB. Once the worker role gets the messages from the ESB, the worker role can put those messages on the Azure Service Bus. From there, your Azure BizTalk Services bridge can listen to the bus and fetch the messages.
I am already doing that for a project, where my worker role connects to an on-prem MQ server, and it works great.
Also, look into the new API Apps on Azure, they may provide another solution as well.
I have searched a lot on this topic but didnt get any satifactory answer.
In Windows Azure how can we consume an external (third party) Web Service from the worker roles? Is it as simple as using a web reference in the solution or is it necessary to use Azure Service Bus?
It's as simple as calling the webservice using whatever method you need (REST, SOAP, etc.). For .NET developers using .asmx or WCF SOAP services, just generate the proxy like you normally would. In this model, there is no difference between what you do onpremises when the cloud is the client.
You would look at using the ServiceBus when you are hosting your own services (as opposed to consuming them), typically behind firewalls onpremises, and you want to give secure access to them or integrate them into cloud scenarios. There are other scenarios and capabilities of course, but that is a main one. If you simply want to consume another web service, the ServiceBus has nothing to do with that.
As long as the 3rd-party web service endpoint is reachable, use it the same way you'd use it from an on-premises server. If you need to connect to a service endpoint behind someone's firewall, then you'd want to consider AppFabric Service Bus.
Just remember that you'll be paying for bandwidth out of the data center (unless the 3rd-party web service is Windows Azure homed, and in the same data center).
