First Attack

Exsiting wcf methods for useShipmentId[] GetUpdatedShipments(UpdateAtFrom, UpdateAtTo)

Shipment GetShipment(ShipmentId)

5

Use “UpdateAt” as means of getting the updates

Every 2 minutes:GetUpdatedShipmentsCommand(From, DateTime.UtcNow)Handler sends: GetShipmentCommand(ShipmentId)

ShipmentId UpdateAt

Shipment1 12:00:01

Shipment2 12:00:02

Shipment3 12:00:02

Shipment4 12:00:03

Shipment5 12:00:04

6

Use “UpdateAt” as means of getting the updates

Every 2 minutes:GetUpdatedShipmentsCommand(From, DateTime.UtcNow)Every 1 minute:GetUpdatedShipmentsFromDatabaseCommand() -> GetShipment(ShipmentId)

There was a bug!

11

This other WCF methodGetUpdatedShipments(FromVersion, PageSize)

Version is a sequential integer assigned to each update!

12

Use Version as means of getting the updates

Every 2 minutes:GetUpdatedShipmentsCommand(StartVersion, PageSize)Every 1 minute:GetUpdateShipmentFromDatabaseCommand(PageSize)

ShipmentId Version

Shipment1 100

Shipment1 104

Shipment2 106

Shipments have filesConsistency of the shipments and document!

Saga: For handling long-running business processes

“NServiceBus employs event-driven architectural principles to bake fault-tolerance and scalability into these processes.”

Added Blob storage And saga

OutBoxAdd another graph here!

21

NService Bus OutBoxNow we need an Outbox!

22

Code of outboxBusConfiguration busConfiguration = new BusConfiguration();

busConfiguration.EnableOutbox();

<appSettings> <add key="NServiceBus/Outbox" value="true" /></appSettings>

23

OutBox CaveatsBoth the business data and deduplication data need to share the same database.

So we moved NSB Saga to SQL server!

Finaly!
