So, What was “bad“ about SSP’s ?
SSP’s• Big improvement, but some
limitations
All or nothing
• Search / Profiles / Excel / BDC
Not extensible
• No custom SSP
No granularity
• Web application tied to specific SSPs
Sharing across farms
• Tied to a single farm (shared-farm SSP’s possible but tricky)

Service Applications
So, What’s good about Service Applications ?
Flexibility• New services model much more
flexible
A la carte • Just pick the one you need
Common Framework
• Build custom using framework
Sharing • Single farm or shared across farms
Scalability• Entire farms can be dedicated to
service hosting and computing
Architectural View
Service: Actual program (binaries)deployed to servers in farm
Service Application
Service Proxy Service Proxy
Web Part, Pages(Service Consumer)
*.SVC’s, PowerShell Cmdlets(Service Consumer)
Service Machine Instance: Actual instance of the running service binaries on a server
Service Application: Configuration of the servicein a farm
Service Application Proxy:Reference to the Service Application
Service Consumer: Bits that utilize the service’s logic
Service Application Features
Configuration Store
• A configuration store within the SharePoint configuration database for application settings
Database Provisioning
• A common SQL Server database provisioning infrastructure
Custom Database
• Support for storing data in custom databases that are managed by SharePoint
Web Services• A location to host middle-tier Web services
and for provisioning and managing their security
Processing
• A service-scoped timer job infrastructure that enables you to perform scheduled operations on your service or on Web applications that consume it

Creating Custom Service
Applications in SharePoint 2010
Custom Service Applications
Creating Custom Services
Developers are free to create their own services
Allows developers to provide richer integration between a 3rd
party system and SharePoint
Allows for sharing data across SharePoint sites
Create Custom Services
Do Provide specialized computations & analytics
Share data across sites & site collections
Execute long running operations
Requires a robust scale out strategy
Common management and provisioning infrastructure
Don’t Features specific to a particular site or site collection
Features specific to site template
Developers should be familiar with
Custom WCF
services
PowerShell
SharePoint admin API
To Build a Service Application
Create a service application
Create a WCF service application
endpoint
Write the service application
installation code
Install and provision the service application
Create the service application proxy
Write the service application proxy installation code
Install and provision the service
application proxy
Create the service application consumers
Install, deploy, and test the service
application consumers

Takeaways
Service Applications is here to stay (All MS services created using SA Framework)
Create custom Service Applications is not easy.
Requires big learning curve to create custom
Still lack of documentation and samples
Start with a sample solution and modify it to your needs
