When you define a service in API Management, you have to associate it with a specific subscription (= product). Now let’s say you can’t change the client. That means you can’t add a header with the ocp-apim-subscriptionkey. Question: Can you expose a service via API Management without the subscription key being sent as a part…
In the example below, I will show how easy it is to call a REST service hosted in API Management from a Web API. The API Management services encloses a logic app, which first enriches an input message with customer data and then calls a SaaS service. A better solution is not to require a…
Another quick gotcha. If you want to migrate a Logic App from Development to Accept and you don’t want to use Powershell/ARM or Visual Studio Team Services (DevOps), you can perform the following steps in the Azure Portal: Clone the Dev version of your Logic App and name it Acc_LogicApp (follow the correct naming convention).…
In a previous post, I explained how you can use Logic App parameters in ARM templates. This solution is quite complicated. You will have to parameterize your Logic Apps. At deployment, the parameters are substituted by actual values. But, If you lookup the logic app in the Azure Portal, you will notice that the value…
Azure API Connections have a name and a display name. When you create a new API Connection via the Azure Portal, you are not able to specify the name of the API Connection. This name is actually used in Logic Apps however. Example: @parameters(‘$connections’)[‘sftp_1’][‘connectionId’] In this case sftp_1 is the name, not the display name.…
The Azure FTP Connector currently has a limit on file size of 50MB. That’s pretty tiny for a file transfer application. It may even mean that you are unable to use this connector. There’s a solution however. In my situation I had a file of 134MB. I send this file in zipped format to the…
In a previous post we talked about debugging an Azure function in Visual Studio. You can also debug a function deployed to Azure, ie. remote debugging. There’s a few points to note: For remote debugging to work, we will have to deploy the function container in Debug mode. Next open the Azure Portal. In the Application…
If you want to call a webservice from Azure, the webservice provider might ask you for a list of ip addresses to whitelist on their firewall. As you know, Azure has no fixed IP addresses. It’s no good practice either to supply ip addresses per individual service. As an example in the properties of an…
Since July I’m doing an assignment where Azure functions are intensively used. The functions are developed in Visual Studio, which has many advantages over developing functions in the Azure Portal. In Visual Studio you have intellisense, functions can be brought under source control and you can easily debug function execution. When you develop a Http…
I a previous post I explained the webhook solution to make it possible to call a long running function asynchronuously. This approach is quite complicated, since you will have to create and manage queues yourself. There’s a solution called Azure Durable Functions where you can simply call a function from your logic app an leave the…
