Biztalk Edi

Content-based routing provides flexibility for users who want to route messages based on envelope properties or on receive port configuration properties. Routing can be performed based on information contained in the envelope of the document or even configuration information from the receive location.

A BizTalk Server business process involves receiving, processing, and sending messages. Some messages do not require intensive processing in an orchestration. They can benefit from a simpler and more efficient solution called Content-based routing.

Yes it's possible to receive Multiple interchange in a single message and to parse it, the pipeline property called DetectMID is to be set as True.

UTF-8 is the default Character set supported and it is used for run-time validation and applies only to EDI X12.

The process of saving your running orchestration state at certain point is called persistence.

Orchestration engine persist a running instance which is based on the design of orchestration.

There are few events or stages, which triggers the persistence operation called persistence points.

Electronic data interchange (EDI) is a document standard which when implemented acts as common interface between two or more computer applications in terms of understanding the document transmitted. It is commonly used by big companies for e-commerce purposes, such as sending orders to warehouses or tracking their order.

Message routing is a method of passing through BizTalk without being processed.

Content routing is a method of passing of the message which is based on certain field value of the schema.

Sending messages from one orchestration to another is done by using Direct Binding technique. It is also being used for sending messages directly into the message box. It is used in publish and subscribe system in BizTalk for sending messages among orchestrations.

The EDI sends pipeline performs a party lookup by performing a series of steps to determine whether there is a match between the outgoing interchange and the properties of a party.

BizTalk already ships with the standard EDI schemas. To use it we need to extract the schemas using the MicrosoftEdiXSDTemplates.exe file, located in the root of the XSD_SchemaEDI folder.

Rules engine is provided as component of a business rules management system, which provides the abilities such as define, register, classify and manage all rules, verifies consistency of rules definitions, defining relationships among rules and relates them to IT applications which are effected by one or more rules.

A pipe line is used to write Distinguished Fields in the message context when a message is received on a port. Dis-assembler pipeline component such as XML and flat file disassemble does the job of writing the message context by the pipeline. In addition to it, custom pipeline component could also be performing it.

BizTalk requires the qualifier and identifier fields for sender and receiver in order to perform agreement resolution. It will match the values of ISA5, ISA6, ISA7, and ISA8 in the interchange header with those in the properties of an agreement.

BAM is used to monitor business milestones and key metrics in near real-time throughout a process in BizTalk.

The promotion of Prompted Fields/Properties is done in the message context by a pipeline called receive pipeline at the time when a message is received on a port. This task is performed by dis-assembler pipeline component (XML or a flat file dis-assembler). In addition to it, custom pipeline component could also be performing it.

BizTalk server detects the potential for certain race conditions, which are ensured that all correlated messages are received by the same orchestration instance. The potentiality of these race conditions is detected by BizTalk server. These messages are treated as a ‘convoy’. A convoy set is a group of correlation sets. All such subsequent messages which match the general subscription are evaluated against the convoy set, and the matched convoys are routed to an existing port.

☛ 1) By using content based routing, files can be transferred.

☛ 2) By creating receive port and send port. If send port is configuring, provide the condition as BTS.

☛ 3) Receiveportname= <receive_portname created>

There are four options which can be used as deciding factor and then release:

☛ Schedule : At regular intervals

☛ Maximum Number of Transaction Sets :Fixed number of transactions within an Interchange

☛ Maximum Number of Characters in an Interchange : Number of characters

☛ External Release Trigger : Whenever a Trigger Message is given to BizTalk

A rules engine is a software system, which is used for executing one or more business rules in a dynamic production environment. The rules might be from legal regulation, company policies or any other resources.

Information worker can set parameters for an orchestration that implements a business process, which a business analyst may not be able to create.

Developer creating an orchestration can define parameters for an orchestration to enable information workers configure it. An information worker sets those parameters using the TPM service by specifying their values in the partner’s agreement.
