50 Biztalk Orchestration Questions And Answers
42⟩ Do you know what is the difference between written property and promoted property?
Promoted properties can be used as criteria in message routing while written properties cannot. Property field is a Promoted Property in the context. Distinguished field is a Written property in the context.
43⟩ Tell me what is persistence point?
At various points within a running orchestration the state can persist.
44⟩ Do you know when is convoy used?
The convoy is used to receive multiple messages in sequence or parallel to achieve a goal/result.
45⟩ Please explain when a persistence point occurs at the Orchestration level?
The engine will save the state of an orchestration in the following circumstances:
☛ Send Shape (after a message is sent)
☛ Start Orchestration Shape
☛ Suspend Shape
☛ End of a Transactional Scope (atomic or long-running)
☛ An Orchestration Debugger breakpoint is hit
☛ Orchestration Engine determines that the instance needs to be dehydrated
☛ When the Orchestration Engine is shut down; through the controlled shutdown of the host or abnormal circumstances. The engine tries to persist but if that fails, the Orchestration instance will resume from the last successful persistence point.
46⟩ As you know xMLDocument is non-serializable still it's called without atomic scope with no error, why?
It is the only exception to the requirement of types for variables having to be serializable and treated as special case.
47⟩ Tell us what are the different types of transactions available for orchestration?
Unlike traditional programming, BizTalk Server supports two distinct types of transactions: atomic and long-running.
48⟩ Tell me when is property "Synchronized=true" used?
When a variable is shared across the branches of parallel shape.
49⟩ Do you know how to route binary data?
To route binary data you can use pass-through pipelines on the receive location and send port. BizTalk will route (copy) the data from the source (receive location) to the destination (send port). If you want to route the binary data based on some information in the binary data then you write a custom Disassembler to promote the properties you need from the incoming message to route the binary data.
50⟩ Do you know which language does expression shape support?
Expression shape allows for writing XLANG/S statements that provide C# -like coding capabilities.
