In the present corporate scenario, it is the need of the hour to make sure that the solution that a business entrepreneur builds or gets for his or her business enterprise must be strictly in accordance with the prevailing and acknowledged document formats and protocols. One must also ensure that you will able to use the solution over the Internet without worrying about the security issues. Another thing to take note of with regard to this solution is its compatibility with the business purposes with the gradual growth of the business. One solution that is a perfect one for all these requirements is Microsoft BizTalk Server that is a part of Microsoft dynamics community which comprises of many other Microsoft applications.
The present day global world of business calls for a need to function round the clock with no break. Customers have become all the more demanding and wish to stay updated in real time, which accelerates the pace of the operations of the business and also a requirement for faster and enhanced decision-making processes.
It is a common fact that businesses today make use of several applications on different platforms at one time and therefore, the solution that one selects must support all these applications. Microsoft BizTalk Server allows for integration of these applications with the business partners by means of the business-to-business (B2B) exchanges, Internet and variety of other resources.
XML format is internally used by the Microsoft BizTalk Server for identifying the contents and the layout of your business documents. In order to deliver these documents to their right locations, standard Internet protocols such as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), making it simple for you to interoperate with a range of applications that are running in a workspace.

Cross over BizTalk Messaging Routing To Different Endpoints



Many people who have implemented the ESB 2.0 BizTalk 2009 solution would have come to notice that there is a need where the endpoint takes up a request to a synchronous system, and the system reverts back with a response. There is a scenario wherein the response is required to be routed back not to the initiator but other different endpoints according to the complicated rules and processes.
This may not be a big thing for the reason that the BizTalk can deal with such types of designs without any difficulty by means of the static send ports with special filter expressions, simple orchestrations and also those orchestrations with the Microsoft dynamics AX send ports. Complex rules, logic and processes can be employed within the custom components, or the Business Rules Engine (BRE) inside the pipeline components or the orchestrations.
The means for building the flow process is what is called for that first accepts the message initiated by the initiator, and after that, taking note of the rules, dynamically settles on the 2 way service, takes back the response. In the next step, based on the set of rules, it dynamically routes back the response from an endpoint that is different from the initiator. These capabilities are the Itineraries model of ESB. The BizTalk messaging BRE applies the complex logic and rules. The ESB Resolvers are there for breaking such logic and the address of the endpoint addresses and the final endpoint to transmit the responses to. By modeling an itinerary of the ESB 2.0 of BizTalk 2009 server and incorporating the Itinerary designer which will accept the message from the initiator and then route back request to a 2-way Synchronous Endpoint, which then obstructs and finally sends the Response to an endpoint other than the initiator depending on a Business rule.
