BizTalk Server 2004

VisionConnecting Systems, People and Trading Partners Through Manageable Business Process

Key TakeawaysMake the Hard Simple

Developers – Standardized Interfaces to Functionality

IT Pros – Standardized links to Enterprise Systems

Information Workers – Standardized views of Business Data, Knowledge and Process

Accelerating Web Services AdoptionOrchestration and composition of Web Services

Unlock Legacy Business Logic

Deep Standards Support

Standards

XML Web Service support is core BizTalk Server 2004 functionality

WS-I basic profile, WS-Security plug-in

XML foundationSchema based on W3C XML standard

Schema mapping based on W3C XSLT

Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)

Standardizing Business ProcessWith BPEL

BPEL is a GXA compliant specification Created by Microsoft, IBM, and BEA for: Business Process Interop Across Boundaries

Best Practice Business Processes

Specification submitted to OASIS

Authenticate once and securely access target systems

Secret store contains user mappings encrypted

E.g., domain\jonqp => mySAPaccount/mypass

Integrates with SPS to provide SSO for portal

Web Services front-end for any client to any platform

Configuration information stored in secure store

Security is important – reviewed 3 times by the windows security team and independent experts

Scalability

Scalability

BizTalk 2004 System is “mostly” stateless

Routing is done in SQL Server by stored procs

As long as DB is common it’s possible to add many processing machines

Allows scale out message parsing, conversion, extraction of properties, as well as transport

Enables use of Network Load Balancing

Exceptions from stateless second layerOrchestration – persisted (long running transactions)

Correlation messages are routed to the correct machine

Session-based protocols (e.g., MSMQT)

Exceptions are not a problem for scaling out

Scaling Out Storage

Several databases maintain identical configuration data

Master database contains all subscriptions

Relations between processing and SQL machines are many-to-many

For activation messages it makes no difference which message box does processing (chosen by Round Robin)

For correlation messages routing/copying to correct message box(es) is sometimes necessary
