Cleared Microsoft certification on BizTalk Server 2006 - 70-235

Hi All,

Yesterday I have cleared the Microsoft certification on BizTalk Server 2006 (70-235). It’s a great relief after some good hard work.

MoM - Consolidation and Timer based rule

I have a requirement to create a MoM rule which would automate a task based on some specific eventlog entires in production servers. The automatic task is to recycle some of the COM+ components based on the eventlog. So the eventlog entry is the evidence for me to identify that the issue has occurred. I am going not going to talk about the scripts which I have used to restart the COM+ componet but how I have configured the MoM rule for the same.

So I have to create a MoM rule which would monitor the production server and perform the resolution activity. But the crux is to perform the resolution activity only when the continuous 5 entries of the eventlog are identified in the span of 30 seconds in the production server. So I have to create MoM rule which should act based on the number of the entries of an event in the given time window.

I have achieved this by creating an event-rule which would monitor the specified eventlog for the “Repeat Count” of 5 and I have created another consolidation rule which would maintain a counter for event-rule in 30 seconds. This counter will be reset to zero, if the specified count of logs doesn’t met in specified period (30 seconds). i.e. if the application logs 4 event entries for the specified criteria in 30 seconds. The event-rule’s repeat count would be set back to 1. But if the application logs event entry for 5 times in 30 seconds (or in lesser than 30 seconds), the event-rule’s response entries would trigger.

Following are the snapshot of the MoM rules:
