While most previous samples can still be used with this release as is or with minor updates, there are some items (Security Guide &amp; Service Bus samples) that will be enhanced or extended for this release in the near future. <br /> <h1>Overview </h1> The Managed Services Engine (MSE) is one approach to facilitating Enterprise SOA through service virtualization. Built upon the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and the Microsoft Server Platform, the MSE was developed by Microsoft Services as we helped customers address the challenges of SOA in the enterprise. The MSE fully enables service virtualization through a Service Repository, which helps organizations deploy services faster, coordinate change management, and maximize the reuse of various service elements. In doing so, the MSE provides the ability to support versioning, abstraction, management, routing, and runtime policy enforcement for Services. <h1>Benefits</h1> <ul><li>Reduced time-to-market for new services. </li> <li>Advanced service versioning. </li> <li>Service Policy enforcement. </li> <li>Service Enablement of legacy systems. </li></ul> Enables independent ownership of the enterprise layers and better Service life Cycle management. Provides a centralized view of your cloud of enterprise services, treating these as a cohesive system instead of treating services as silos. Enables better visibility into service dependencies. <h1>General Announcements </h1> The December 09 CTP release is a minor update to the May 09 CTP release but direct upgrades are not supported. <b>Backup your data and uninstall previous versions.</b> As always we look for feedback on how to improve the Managed Services Engine GUI, Model and overall functionality. <h1>New Features and Enhancements </h1> <ul><li>Action attribute for individual Operations - allow fully qualified names to be different from common name and also allowing multiple operations of the same name to coexist through different FQN&#39;s</li> <li>Model Viewer Performance Enhancements - reducing the CPU demand of the WPF effects utilized by the Model Viewer</li> <li>SLA support for Resources and Assertion Types - allowing you to capture certain SLA attributes.

In doing so, the MSE provides the ability to support versioning, abstraction, management, routing, and runtime policy enforcement for Services. <h1>Benefits</h1> <ul><li>Reduced time-to-market for new services. </li> <li>Advanced service versioning. </li> <li>Service Policy enforcement. </li> <li>Service Enablement of legacy systems. </li></ul> Enables independent ownership of the enterprise layers and better Service life Cycle management. Provides a centralized view of your cloud of enterprise services, treating these as a cohesive system instead of treating services as silos. Enables better visibility into service dependencies. <h1>General Announcements </h1> The May 09 CTP release is a minor update to the Feb 09 CTP release but direct upgrades are not supported. <b>Backup your data and uninstall previous versions.</b> As always we look for feedback on how to improve the Managed Services Engine GUI, Model and overall functionality. <h1>New Features and Enhancements </h1> <ul><li>Import/Export Functionality provides easier deployment between environments and another option for backing up the Enterprise Service Model</li> <li>Runtime Server Performance Enhancements </li> <li>Additional controls to tailor WSDL generation <ul><li>Message Wrapping</li> <li>Optimize WSDL – by default, a WSDL only includes types that are directly referenced by the operations exposed. Deselecting this option will force the inclusion of all references from any schema namespace reference in the WSDL, regardless of known relationship. This obviously results in a bigger WSDL file, but is sometimes necessary to match existing WSDL’s for current clients.</li></ul></li> <li>Support for qualified and unqualified schemas</li> <li>The Schema details now allow you to specify qualified and unqualified </li> <li>An option in the Schema details now allows you to specify</li> <li>Support for UDDI 3.0/2.0</li> <li>New GUI controls for Assertions <ul><li>You can now specify class information for a UI to assist with composing new assertions for a given assertion type.</li> <li>See XSL Request or Response Transform Assertion Type as an example.</li></ul></li> <li>Installer updated to support more configurations/environments</li></ul> <h1>Bugs Fixed </h1> <h2>Installer</h2> <ul><li>MSE Database must be deleted in order for a subsequent install to succeed</li> <li>The installer can now be used to install into an existing database.</li> <li>Options are presented during the installation process.</li></ul> <h2>Model Viewer</h2> <ul><li>Fixed inconsistencies on showing related/unrelated tabs when model items are selected.</li> <li>New Operation Version not available after importing via the WSDL import wizard.</li> <li>Errors logged when switching layouts after adding System &amp; Instance.</li> <li>Completing Operation Version wizard does not refresh cache of Resource Associations.</li> <li>Improved support for qualified name filter</li> <li>Errors when deleted bindings, endpoints, assertions and policies</li> <li>Policies with no Assertions assigned cause errors if assigned to model items. </li></ul> <h2>Runtime/Catalog</h2> <ul><li>Runtime Server Throws errors/crashes under load</li> <li>Error in the Broker Delegate: end has already been called on this asynchronous result.</li> <li>Improved locking to prevent concurrency issues.</li> <li>Routing to incorrect Operation Version due to lack of notification event from the catalog when an operaton version is activated at an endpoint that already has a version of the same operatoin activated.</li> <li>More than one &quot;notification&quot; dequeued but only one processed if these had the exact same &quot;CreateDate&quot;.</li> <li>Locking issues when resolving more than one operation at exactly the same time.</li></ul></div>Wed, 06 May 2009 06:29:26 GMTReleased: MSE May 2009 CTP (May 05, 2009) 20090506062926Ahttp://servicesengine.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=23862<div> <h1> Overview </h1>This release implements a different approach to visually managing the Enterprise Service Model that drives the virtual services in the MSE. We are continuously looking for ways to improve the GUI and are looking forward to receiving your feedback in the Discussions section. <br><h1> Video Tutorials </h1>For this release, we are making a set of video tutorials available to help you quickly get up to speed on some of the new features of this release. Each video is available above and marked with a <b>Video</b> prefix. Check back or subscribe to the RSS feed to see when new videos are added.<br><h1> High level Features </h1><ul> <li>New WPF-based, modeling UI that provides a visual representation of relationships and dependencies </li><li>More granular control and support for policies and schemas </li><li>Full support for resources and systems </li><li>Component-wide group support </li><li>Broader policy support across service items </li><li>More cross-checking to identify model conflicts </li> </ul><h1> Feature Details </h1><ul> <li><b>New Administration Tool</b> - The new Administration Tool is built using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). It supports a new paradigm to create and manage a &quot;Service Model&quot; for your enterprise. This new management tool allows simplified management for all Service Model Components across the board in a more granular and intuitively visual way. </li><li><b>Improved Service Model</b> - The MSE version 7 introduces new Service Model components that allow more granular control of policy enforcement.</li><li><b>User Profiles</b> - Delivering on the principle of enterprise concerns layers and the management of such, the MSE 7 implements different layout views. These views provide the appropriate visibility into the elements that each party is responsible for managing.</li><li><b>Create Operation Wizard</b> - A new wizard driven creation for operation versions is now available in MSE 7. This multi-step wizard guides the user the collection of the necessary data from existing entities to create a contract, existing resources and policies. The wizard can also just help you create an operation version without associating it to a resource if you would like.</li><li><b>REST Support</b> - The MSE support virtualization of REST resources. An import wizard is available to import REST based services. </li> </ul><h2> Service Model Components - new features and new components introduced in MSE 7 </h2><h3> Runtime Servers </h3><ul> <li>More granular eventing on model changes</li><li>Policy support </li> </ul><h3> Endpoint </h3><ul> <li>Simplified endpoint creation process. </li><li>Improved visibility into what operations are associated and published to the endpoint </li> </ul><h3> Operations </h3><ul> <li>Improved visibility into operation versions assigned to an operation. </li><li>Drag &amp; drop association between Resources, Operations, and Endpoints </li><li>You can now assign a policy to an operation version </li> </ul><h3> Resource </h3><ul> <li>New service model component that abstracts a service implementation to be virtualized. </li><li>URI for resources determined by system and system instance association</li><li>Explicit message contract to determine type conflicts with operation version contract</li> </ul><h3> Instance (System Instance) </h3><ul> <li>New model components that allows us to manage service implementation instances. </li><li>Additional information such as instance owner/contact can be captured to describe the instance. </li> </ul><h3> System </h3><ul> <li>Abstraction on the host for the service implementations </li><li>We can capture addition information such as owner/contact/location </li> </ul><h3> Policies </h3><ul> <li>Allow for granular management of policy through assertions and assertion types</li><li>Can be applied to any runtime item, depending on the policy subject</li><li>Select the order in which policy assertions are applied. </li> </ul><h3> Policy Assertions </h3><h3> Assertion Types </h3><h3> Data Entities </h3><ul> <li>Versioning at the data entity level. Changes to the data entity create a new version which can be applied wherever a contract (request/response) entity is expected. </li> </ul> </div>bottoWed, 04 Mar 2009 21:44:55 GMTUpdated Release: MSE February 2009 CTP (Mar 02, 2009) 20090304094455P
