Microsoft BizTalk Server is a middleware system that enables companies to integrate and manage automated business process by exchanging documents, within organization or across(End system) organization, through help of adapters like File, SFTP, FTP, MSMQ, WCF, HTTP etc. It provides enterprise application integration, business process automation, business-to-business communication, message broker and business activity monitoring.

Major application developed by Mirosoft Visual Studio, few of direct created by Microsoft BizTalk Server console with the help of routing mechanism. Developers can create BizTalk Artifacts such as Schema(Create and Validate Business Messages), Orchestration(Define Business Process), Map(Transform and Translate business message from one format to another or one type to another type), BRE(Create Business Rules), BAM(Create business portal to monitor business level activity), Pipeline(Validate messages,Digital Signing, Zip, Unzip messages etc..) and even more additional functionality can be delivered by .NET assemblies that can be called from existing modules.

The BizTalk Server runtime is built on a publish/subscribe architecture, sometimes called "content-based publish/subscribe". Messages are published into BizTalk, transformed to the desired format, and then routed to one or more subscribers

Microsoft BizTalk Server first time was released from 2000 i.e. BizTalk Server 2000 later that more version like BizTalk Server 2002, 2004, 2006, 2006 R2, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2013 R2, 2016.

BizTalk makes processing safe by serialization (called dehydration in Biztalk's terminology) - placing messages into a database while waiting for external events, thus preventing data loss. This architecture binds BizTalk with Microsoft SQL Server. Processing flow can be tracked by administrators using an Administration Console. BizTalk supports the transaction flow through the whole line from one customer to another.

The following is some of the list of technical features in the BizTalk Server:

  • The use of adapters to simplify integration to line of business (LOB) applications (Siebel, SAP, IFS Applications, JD Edwards, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics CRM), databases (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database and DB2) and other Technologies (TIBCO and Java EE).
  • Accelerators offer support for enterprise standards like RosettaNet, HL7, HIPAA and SWIFT.
  • Business rules engine (BRE). This is a Rete algorithm rule engine.
  • Business activity monitoring (BAM), which allows a dashboard, aggregated (PivotTable) view on how the Business Processes are doing and how messages are processed.
  • A unified administration console for deployment, monitoring and operations of solutions on BizTalk servers in environment.
  • Built-in electronic data interchange (EDI) functionality supporting X12 and EDIFACT, as of BizTalk 2006 R2.
  • Ability to do graphical modelling of business processes in Visual Studio, model documents with XML schemas, graphically mapping (with the assistance of functoids) between different schemas, and building pipelines to decrypt, verify, parse messages as they enter or exit the system via adapters.
  • Users can automate business management processes via Orchestrations.
  • BizTalk integrates with other Microsoft products like Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft SQL Server, and SharePoint to allow interaction with a user participating in a workflow process.
  • Extensive support for web services (consuming and exposing)
  • RFID support, as of BizTalk 2006 R2. Deprecated in the 2016 release
  • Support for Application Insight, as of BizTalk Server.
  • Automatic deployment through Visual Studio Team Service, as of BizTalk Server 2016 Feature Pack 1
  • Exposed management REST APIs with full Swagger support, as of BizTalk Server 2016 Feature Pack 1
  • Exposed operational data with Power BI support, as of BizTalk Server 2016 Feature Pack 1

Configuring BizTalk WCF Timeout Values on a Binding

By
There are a number of timeout settings available in WCF bindings. Setting these timeout settings correctly can improve not only your service’s performance but also play a role in the usability and security of your service. The following timeouts are available on WCF bindings: OpenTimeout CloseTimeout SendTimeout ReceiveTimeout Open Timeout :  This property represents the amount of time a channel open operation has to complete. Send Timeout :  Use this property to set the amount of time that a send operation has to complete. When used as part of a solicit-response scenario, this value encompasses the total amount of time for the interaction to complete. If we are sending a large message, we may need to increase this timeout to allow for the request and response messages to be processed within this window.
