Steps to Employ One SQL Port for Various Tasks in Microsoft BizTalk Server

BizTalk Server serves as a wonderful application for the business enterprises, thanks to the feature of the Adapters. Here we shall talk about SQL Adapter. One of the common problems faced by those using this server is to build multiple SQL Ports to call various stored procedures on the same database. The SQL Adapter comprises of the Add Generated Items wizard that is definitely helpful in doing so, though these are some of the things that it does not take care of.   

First of all it builds a new orchestration enclosing the multipart message classes and the port that you can make use of for calling the Adapter. Next it provides some horrible names to the Orchestration, Port, and schema file/ type. The major issue crops up when you have to bind the Microsoft BizTalk server orchestration ports. You will be left with four different send ports when you employ four varied stored procedures on a single database by default as each needs a root element and namespace of the returned message.

For avoiding the need to build a separate port for each of the SQL calls, at the time of creating the schemas by means of the wizard, same namespace must be used every time. The root response element must also be named the same. This Adapter among many other BizTalk adapters makes sure that this does not have any effect on the returned data by putting them under this node. After that, all the response elements having the same name are to be combined together into one schema. If you are using an Orchestration, then add the operations to a single SQL Port that you have. This facilitates message routing.

Learn about Response-Request Message Exchange Pattern of BizTalk Server

When the topic for discussion is Message Exchange Patterns (MEPs), the main thing under consideration is the direction and timing of information between the customer and service. Let's discuss the four primary choices available and their implications.

The pattern Request/Response services is possibly the pattern that all are familiar with. We can all make a function call to a component at ease and wait for the response. When a service employs this pattern, it is recurrently carrying out a remote procedure call where the caller captures functionality on the remote service and is obstructed until either the recipient sends a response that the caller is waiting for or a timeout occurs. Though this is a simple pattern for the BizTalk development personnel, but it may give rise to unethical behavior. It is perfect for mashup services and the fine-grained functions. The recent BizTalk Server versions support the tasks of consuming and issuing services abiding by this pattern.

When divulging request/response operations by means of BizTalk orchestrations, the Communication Pattern of the orchestration port is applied to Request-Response and the Port direction of communication is equivalent to the direction of the pattern. Once this orchestration port is in control of the request/response receive port, BizTalk handles the correlation of the response message with the suitable thread that sent the request. This is important for the reason that by default, the server is an entirely asynchronous messaging engine. Even if the BizTalk Server is configured in a BizTalk messaging request/response mode, it's just putting a front wall on the typical underlying plumbing. In fact, a BizTalk service interface that is synchronous dominates over a complicated system of correlating MessageBox contact to conjure up a request/response pattern.

Biztalk Messaging for Business Data and Documentation Support

Business development is a crucial task, which requires various business elements. In today’s world of technology every organization is equipping itself with a number of software business solutions. These solutions help organizations in accomplishing their tasks quickly and efficiently. Use of these software solutions also provides error free task accomplishment. But the problem arises when an organization requires sharing business data with its clients or partners. The leading IT organization, Microsoft has developed a server that offers a wide range of integration services. Biztalk server is a server that offers communication and connectivity services for different technology based systems. This server offers integration and communication among clients and peers. This server is equipped with a huge set of communication protocols that offers platform independent communication between systems.  Biztalk messaging is one of the strongest features of this server.

Microsoft has also developed a family of dynamics to provide businesses with simplified customer support. This family offers various software solutions for businesses in the fields of customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning.
