Business data and process milestones are captured by Business Activity Monitoring system which is a module in Biz Talk. Business decision makers are allowed by BAM for gaining insight for their in-flight process.

We can set parameters for an orchestration that implements a business process, which professional analysts might not be able to create, as they are used to practice with traditional methods. Parameters for creating an orchestration can be defined to enable developers to configure it. An information worker sets the parameters using TPM services by specifying their values in the agreement.

BizTalk enables large scale organizations to integrate and operate business procedure by exchanging business documents between applications across the organizational boundaries.

We can, but do not alter because the HL7 parser only looks for single MSH, the standard one that the HL7 accelerator provides.

BizTalk server detects the potential for specific race conditions, which ensures that all correlated messages are received by the same orchestration instance. The potentiality of these race conditions is sensed by BizTalk server. These messages are treated as a convoy. All such messages which match with the general subscription are evaluated against the convoy set and the matched convoys are routed through an existing port.

BizTalk sets a message context property called BTS Message Type. This is a concentration of the document name space and Rot Node Name in other words Message Type is a BizTalk system property that is promoted inside a Pipleine. It is made up of Documents Name Space and Root Node Name

If configured for Acknowledgement or if MSH.15 and MSH16 request them, the DASM generates one or more acknowledgements.

BizTalk server 2000 is based on the BizTalk framework. It provides the infrastructure and tools to enables B2B e-commerce integration.

The promotional 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.

Direct Binding is the process through which messages are sent from one orchestration to another. It is also utilized for sending messages into the message box. It is indispensable in the Microsoft’s publish and subscribe system in BizTalk for sending messages amongst orchestration.

Content based Routing offers the flexibility for users who prefer to route messages based on envelope or on receive port configuration properties. Routing can be carried out based on information contained in the envelope of the file or even configuration information from the receive location. Any BizTalk server business process involves receiving, processing and sending messages. Some messages do not require intensive processing in orchestration. They can benefit from an effortless and efficient solution better known as Content based routing.

Purpose of deriving up-to-date metrics and key performance indicators from BAM databases, Business integration tools are used. The forecasting of process trends by uses and monitors processes in real time scenario is done by using BI tools. Users get alerts for situations which need their intervention for preventing undesirable outcome for encouraging beneficial results, a mechanism is provided by BAM.

Unlike default flat file DASM that BizTalk server provides, the HL7 does not require that a schema be specified per pipeline.

Both are used to receive HL7 message but former one used to receive HL7 message as flat file and later one to receive HL7 message as XML.

Yes, you need to add a party for each application that sends data into BizTalk server.

Entries in MSH are case sensitive.

☛ 1. BizTalk is a service while a Web service is standard for ethical practice.
☛ 2. BizTalk is a services rendered by Microsoft whereas Web Services is developed by many organizations.
☛ 3. BizTalk is an application built for an enhancing the efficiency of an organization’s internal operations, whereas Web services are small application using UDDI so that general users may access them as and when they are in need.
☛ 4. A service like BizTalk is empowered by Web services, whereas Web services are a neutral platform.

☛ 1. Right click messages in the orchestration View Tab to create a new message, you have four choices for the Message Type Property
☛ 2. Expand Multi- Part Message type’s ands then choose Create New Multipart Message Type.
☛ 3. Name your Multipart message type and then expand it so that you can see its message part_1 member
☛ 4. Set the Message Body Part property to true so that it acts just like a regular message.

The installation of the HL7 accelerator results in one or more of these items, depending on the selection during installation:
☛ Schemas: Contains the XSD representation of HL7 messages which are in flat file format in version v2.x
☛ Pipelines: Converts HL7 messages in flat file format into XML on receive and XML to flat file when sending messages and validates the HL7 message
☛ Adapter: Minimal Lower Layer Protocol (MLLP) adapter enables BizTalk to receive or send HL7-based messages, which BizTalk Server typically transports using the MLLP protocol. The MLLP adapter ensures that BizTalk Server and BTAHL7 are interoperable with HL7-based messaging applications.Generates acknowledgements for received messages
☛ Tools and Utilities: Configuration Explorer, MLLP Test Tool, SDK, Logging framework

The ACK code is found in the MSA-1 field of the ACK message. The following codes are supported by HL7:
☛ AA – Application Accept
☛ AE – Application Error
☛ AR – Application Reject

HL7 accelerator runs only in 32-bit mode. (64-bit support is available in BizTalk 2013).

Following are the different components of BizTalk server.

☛ 1. Receive Port – Listening Messages
☛ 2. Adapters – Interchanging Information with External Systems.
☛ 3. Pipeline, Dissembler and subcomponents.
☛ 4. Message –Box – Internal XML messages published and consumed by users.
☛ 5. BizTalk orchestration Engine - Processes internal XML messages and republishes them to message box.
☛ 6. Send Port – Consumes internal XML messages, converts them to wire messages by the connected pipeline and assembler.
☛ 7. Adapter – Conveys wire messages to the target.

☛ 1. The procedure of saving your running orchestration states ate certain point is called persistence.
☛ 2. Orchestration Engine persist a running instance which is based on the design of orchestration.
☛ 3. There are few events or stages which triggers the persistence operation called persistence points.

☛ 1. Hat
☛ 2. BAM
☛ 3. Adapter
☛ 4. Pipeline
☛ 5. Orchestrations
☛ 6. Role Links
☛ 7. Send Ports and Send Port Groups
☛ 8. Receive Ports
☛ 9. Receive Locations
☛ 10. Policies
☛ 11. Schemas
☛ 12. Maps
☛ 13. Resources
☛ 14. Business Activity Servers.

☛ 1. Before jumping in to do as the error message suggests, let’s think for a moment about what that requires
☛ 2. Inspect every Receive and Send shape to determine if it uses a Message variable that’s associated with the schema you want to change.
☛ 3. It’s not a good practice to create a single orchestration with so many Receive/Send shapes
☛ 4. Delete Port connection, once you find all the Receive Send Shapes.
☛ 5. 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.
☛ 6. Find all the port Types that are associated with ports you disconnected from Receive/ Send shapes and reset their operation’s message Type Properties.
☛ 7. Use a Multi-Part Message Type to wrap the underlying schema. It’s flexible and saves time in the long run.
