BizTalk is Microsoft's platform for enterprise application integration (EAI), business process management (BPM), and business-to-business (B2B) integration. It provides a development and runtime environment for integrating systems, applications, and services through its core components like ports, schemas, pipelines, orchestrations and adapters. BizTalk handles long-running business processes within and between businesses through its publish-subscribe architecture and supports transactions that can run for weeks or months.
An overview of BizTalk
- 2. What is BizTalk • Microsoft’s central platform for EAI, BPM/B2B • Enterprise Service Bus • Product for integration and connectivity with multitude of systems, applications and services • Provides a powerful Web-based development and execution environment that integrates loosely coupled, long-running business processes, both within and between businesses. • Handles transactions that run as long as weeks or months, not just minutes or hours.
- 3. Why BizTalk • Simplify and automate interoperability to reduce costs and errors • Gain critical insights on business processes and performance • Automate business interactions with multiple sources within or across company • In addition to integration capabilities, BizTalk also provides strong, a rules engine(BRE), EDI connectivity, Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), Windows Azure connectivity, Activity Monitoring
- 4. Software Requirement • Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 SP1 • IIS that comes with OS(8.5 in 2012R2) • .NET Framework 4.5/4.5.1 • Visual Studio 2013 • SQL Server 2012 SP1/2014
- 5. ARCHITECTURE • Built on a publish/subscribe architecture (content-based publish/subscribe) • Serialization (Dehydration – in BizTalk’s terminology)
- 6. ARCHITECTURE
- 7. EAI
- 8. DATABASE • BizTalk Server Management database -BizTalkMgmtDb • MessageBox databases - BizTalkMsgBoxDb • Tracking database - BizTalkDTADb • SSO database - SSODB • BizTalkRuleEngineDb, BAMPrimaryImport, BAMArchive, BAMStarSchema, BAMAnalysis, BAMAlertsApplication, BAMAlertsNSMain
- 9. SCHEMA • XML - define the structure of all messages / designed to describe data • An XML Schema is a language for expressing constraints about XML documents • Several different schema languages in widespread use, but the main ones are Document Type Definitions (DTDs), Relax-NG and W3C XSD (XML Schema Definitions). • The one we are using in BT is XSD (file extension - .xsd)
- 10. PORT • Logical gateway to Messaging Services. • Receive Port : • How messages come into BizTalk. It can come into BizTalk by any means of transport like HTTP, SOAP, SQL, file • This is a very powerful feature because it gives you the ability to change the transport type and the source of the data even after your application is deployed, without changing your application implementation. • Send Port : • Transport like receive ports, but their direction is the reverse • Can subscribe to a message directly from the Message Box, without passing through the orchestration. • Adapter and Pipeline.
- 11. PORT TYPE • Message Type (the Schema information). • Communication Type (One way or RaR). • Port Type provides encapsulation by means of three port qualifiers: Private, Public and Internal.
- 12. PIPELINE • A piece of software infrastructure that contains a set of .NET or COM components that process messages in a predefined sequence • Divides processing into categories of work called stages • Receive Pipeline : decode, disassemble, and then convert documents from other formats to XML • Send Pipeline : convert documents from XML to other formats, assemble, and encrypt • Default Pipeline • PassThruReceive, PassThruTransmit, XMLReceive, XMLTransmit
- 13. ADAPTERS • Adapters greatly simplifies the transfer of messages into or out of BizTalk Server • Software component that enables you to easily send messages out of or receive messages into BizTalk Server with a delivery mechanism that conforms to a commonly recognized standard • “Native" or “Integrated" adapters: SMTP, POP3, FTP, MSMQ • Seven WCF adapters - WCF-WSHttp, WCF-BasicHttp, WCF-NetTcp, WCF-NetMsmq, WCF-NetNamedPipe, WCF-Custom, and WCF- CustomIsolated • Can create custom adapters for your specific solutions
- 14. ORCHESTRATION • Executable implementation of a business process, that is, a logical and chronological set of activities in order to achieve a goal • Registered in the BizTalk Management database • Executed by the BizTalk orchestration engine which is the runtime environment • XLANG is the main language use to specify and execute the workflows
- 16. ORCHESTRATION COMPONENTS • MAPPER • Define a transformation—a map—from one document to the other • The Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) has defined the Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) as a standard way to express these kinds of transformations between XML schemas • File format - .xslt • SHAPES • FUNCTOID • A functoid sits in the middle of this operation and applies its method to the incoming data so as to transform it to the requirements of the destination
- 17. SIGNING AND DEPLOYMENT • Signing an assembly is done to provide a strong name for the assembly. This is necessary in order to add your assembly to the GAC as it is unique • Providing Application Name
- 18. BIZTALK ADMIN CONSOLE • HOST – • HOST INSTANCE - • DEBUGGING • ERROR CONSOLE – windows console & biztalk group hub • AX + BIZTALK INTEGRATION • POC DEVELOPMENT
- 19. OTHER TOOLS/COMPONENTS • HAT • BAM • DATA PURGING
