Maybe somebody know if service broker can be used in EC2 environment. For example, I have two instances. One is running SQL Standard and the other is running SQL Express. Can service broker be used in this set up. Note: I know that Amazon RDS does not support service broker.
I have already implemented load balanced SignalR services with a SQL Server backplane and it is working fine. Now I want to scale out the backplane across two SQL Servers, but I can't find any documentation specific to SignalR on how to do this. When you setup the SQL Server backplane for SignalR it creates and manages all the tables it needs.
So my questions:
How do you configure the service brokers between the two SQL Servers for SignalR?
Does the SignalR SQL Server backplane manage the service broker communications also?
Is this even possible?
I have created a SOAP Server Application on Delphi XE8.
I used it as a ISAPI SOAP service, with interface and implementation files.
I deployed this service on IIS, and called it's functions from a VCL client.
I am now trying to make a new function on the SOAP service that communicates with a MSSQL database on the SQL server.
But every time i create a new Data module on the SOAP server, the service stops working.
Can anyone please tell me how to make a database layer, then connect my SOAP service to it, to be able to call from other clients.
Note : I am creating ISAPI.dll
Thanks.
I am trying to setup SignalR for use in a load balanced environment with two web servers behind a load balancer and a separate database server.
I am using the SQL Server Backplane. As recommended in the official documentation, I at first turned on the Service Broker for the database. I observed that with the Service broker turned on Messages take much longer to get pushed from server to client. Why would this be the case ?
Is it possible to have a WCF service that is running on Windows Azure communicate with a local / on-premises SQL Server database?
Alternative options we're considering are:
Push the 4 SQL Server databases that the WCF service needs to gather and process data from up to a Azure VM
Create 4 SQL Azure "clones" of the local / on-prem SQL Server databases and use the data sync feature to keep the Azure clones in sync with the local data.
Ideally, we'd like to be able to expose the on-premises database (via the VPN) to the service and hit each of the databases directly.
Yes, you can make outbound connections from any Azure hosted service, whether running in web sites, cloud services or virtual machines. If you need traffic going through a VPN, you'll need to use cloud services or virtual machines, since web sites can't be added to a virtual network.
Actually, an easier solution would be to host your WCF service internally and expose the service via an Azure Service Bus Relay. The service bus relay supports multiple authentication types for securing the service and no VPN is required. There is a good walk-thru here - .NET On-Premises/Cloud Hybrid Application Using Service Bus Relay. We have successfully used this technique to expose several services to third-party vendors.
you can set up Site-to-site VPN as shown in this resource - Step-By-Step: Create a Site-to-Site VPN between your network and Azure
I would think of SQL Data Sync for scheduler times and that too for small amounts of data (at least not in millions)
