27 Biztalk Edi Questions And Answers

1⟩ Explain what is content-based routing?

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.

4⟩ Do you know how to change the message type?

Before jumping in to do as the error message suggests, let’s think for a moment about what that entails.

Inspect every Receive and Send shape to determine if it uses a Message variable that’s associated with the schema you want to change.

Its not a good practice to create a single orchestration with so many Receive/Send shapes.

Delete Port connections, once you find all the Receive/Send shapes.

Change the Message variable so that the Message Type property is set to the new schema and then re-associate the Message variable with each Receive/Send shape.

Find all the Port Types that are associated with the Ports you disconnected from Receive/Send shapes and reset their Operation’s Message Type properties.

16⟩ Tell me what is the BizTalk Server convoy and correlation sets?

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.
