'''Microsoft BizTalk Server''' is an inter-organizational middleware system (IOMS)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/85e0/d8bf3fccccaf7c5c9ad2a9a93472f9ccdaef.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012212913/https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/85e0/d8bf3fccccaf7c5c9ad2a9a93472f9ccdaef.pdf |archive-date=2016-10-12 |title=Inter-Organizational Information and Middleware System Projects: Success, Failure, Complexity, and Challenges |website=Semantic Scholar |s2cid=7893911 }}</ref> that automates [[business process]]es through the use of ''adapters'' which are tailored to communicate with different software systems used in an enterprise. Created by [[Microsoft]], it provides [[enterprise application integration]], [[business process automation]], [[business-to-business]] communication, [[message broker]] and [[business activity monitoring]].
BizTalk Server 2004, a Windows Server System product, helps customers efficiently and effectively integrate systems, employees, and trading partners faster than ever before. This version is [[SOAP]] [[Web%20Services]] enabled.


BizTalk Server was previously positioned as both an [[application server]] and an {{clarify span|application integration server|date=July 2013}}. Microsoft changed this strategy when they released the AppFabric server which became their official application server. Research firm [[Gartner]] consider Microsoft's offering one of their 'Leaders' for Application Integration Suites. The latest release of Biztalk (Biztalk Server 2020) was released on 15 January 2020.
The next version, BizTalk Server 2006, will further advance [[SOA | SOA ideals the Microsoft Way]] in partnership with the proprietary [[Windows_Communication_Foundation | Indigo technology]], which is realizable only with full [[Windows%20XP]] SP2 or later devices on all servers and client machines.


In a common scenario, BizTalk integrates before going out and manages automated business processes by exchanging business documents such as purchase orders and invoices between disparate applications, within or across organizational boundaries.
In today's global economy, companies need to integrate applications, systems, and technologies from a variety of sources. To make this easier, Microsoft delivers best-of-breed integration technology through BizTalk Server 2004 and expands the offering with industry accelerators and adapters directly and through partners.


Development for BizTalk Server is done through [[Microsoft Visual Studio]]. A developer can create transformation maps transforming one message type to another. For example, an XML file can be transformed to SAP [[IDoc]]s. [[Message]]s inside BizTalk are implemented through the [[XML]] documents and defined with the [[XML schema]]s in [[XSD]] standard. Maps are implemented with the [[XSLT]] standard. [[Orchestration (computing)|Orchestrations]] are implemented with the [[WS-BPEL]] compatible process language [[Xlang|xLANG]]. Schemas, maps, [[XML pipeline|pipelines]] and orchestrations are created visually using graphical tools within Microsoft Visual Studio. The additional functionality can be delivered by [[.NET Framework|.NET]] assemblies that can be called from existing modules—including, for instance, orchestrations, maps, pipelines, business rules.

==Features==
The following is an incomplete list of the technical features in the BizTalk Server:
* The use of adapters to simplify integration to [[line of business]] (LOB) applications (Siebel, [[SAP AG|SAP]], [[Industrial and Financial Systems|IFS Applications]], [[JD Edwards]], Oracle, [[Microsoft Dynamics CRM]]), databases ([[Microsoft SQL Server]], [[Oracle Database]] and [[IBM Db2]]) and other Technologies ([[TIBCO]] and [[Java EE]])<ref name="Adapters" />
* 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 [[ASC X12|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 [[functoid]]s) 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 [[Orchestration (computers)|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 service]]s (consuming and exposing)
* [[RFID]] support, as of BizTalk 2006 R2. Deprecated in the 2016 release
* Support for Application Insight, as of BizTalk Server 2016 Feature Pack 1
* 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

Human-centric processes cannot be implemented directly with BizTalk Server and need additional applications like [[Microsoft SharePoint]] server.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}}

==Architecture==
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.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa562161.aspx | title=Runtime architecture | publisher=[[Microsoft]] | work=[[MSDN]] | access-date=27 July 2013}}</ref>

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. BizTalk orchestrations also implement [[long-running transaction]]s.

==Adapters==
BizTalk uses adapters for communications with different protocols, message formats, and specific software products. Some of the adapters are: [[electronic data interchange]], file, [[HTTP]], [[SSH File Transfer Protocol|SFTP]], [[FTP]] [[SMTP]], [[POP3]], [[SOAP]], [[SQL]], [[MSMQ]], [[MLLP]], [[Azure Logic App]], [[Azure API Management]], [[Windows SharePoint Services|Microsoft SharePoint Server]], [[IBM mainframe]] [[zSeries]] ([[CICS]] and [[Information Management System|IMS]]) and midrange [[IBM i]] (previously [[AS/400]]) systems, [[IBM Db2]], IBM [[WebSphere MQ]] adapters.<ref>{{cite web|title=BizTalk Adapters|publisher=[[Microsoft]] |url=http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/adapters-included.aspx}}</ref>

The WCF Adapter set<ref>{{cite web | url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259952(v=BTS.70).aspx | title=WCF Adapters | publisher=[[Microsoft]] | work=[[MSDN]] | access-date=27 July 2013}}</ref> was added with 2006 R2. It includes: WCF-WSHttp, WCF-BasicHttp, WCF-NetTcp, WCF-NetMsmq, WCF-NetNamedPipe, WCF-Custom, WCF-CustomIsolated adapters. Microsoft also ships a [http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/adapter-pack.aspx BizTalk Adapter Pack] that includes WCF-based adapters for LOB systems. Currently, this includes adapters for [[SAP ERP|SAP]] and Oracle database, [[Oracle E-Business Suite]], Microsoft SQL Server, [[MySQL]], [[PeopleSoft Enterprise]] and [[Siebel Systems]].

Additional adapters<ref name="Adapters">{{cite web | url=http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12956.biztalk-server-list-of-third-party-adapters.aspx | title=BizTalk Server: List of Third-Party Adapters | publisher=[[Microsoft]] | work=[[MSDN]] | access-date=12 August 2015}}</ref> (for Active Directory, for example) are available from third party Microsoft BizTalk core partners.

Microsoft BizTalk Server is an inter-organizational middleware system (IOMS)[5] that automates business processes through the use of adapters which are tailored to communicate with different software systems used in an enterprise. Created by Microsoft, it provides enterprise application integration, business process automation, business-to-business communication, message broker and business activity monitoring.

BizTalk Server was previously positioned as both an application server and an application integration server[clarify]. Microsoft changed this strategy when they released the AppFabric server which became their official application server. Research firm Gartner consider Microsoft's offering one of their 'Leaders' for Application Integration Suites. The latest release of Biztalk (Biztalk Server 2020) was released on 15 January 2020.

In a common scenario, BizTalk integrates before going out and manages automated business processes by exchanging business documents such as purchase orders and invoices between disparate applications, within or across organizational boundaries.

Development for BizTalk Server is done through Microsoft Visual Studio. A developer can create transformation maps transforming one message type to another. For example, an XML file can be transformed to SAP IDocs. Messages inside BizTalk are implemented through the XML documents and defined with the XML schemas in XSD standard. Maps are implemented with the XSLT standard. Orchestrations are implemented with the WS-BPEL compatible process language xLANG. Schemas, maps, pipelines and orchestrations are created visually using graphical tools within Microsoft Visual Studio. The additional functionality can be delivered by .NET assemblies that can be called from existing modules—including, for instance, orchestrations, maps, pipelines, business rules.

Architecture

[edit]

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.[20]

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. BizTalk orchestrations also implement long-running transactions.

Adapters

[edit]

BizTalk uses adapters for communications with different protocols, message formats, and specific software products. Some of the adapters are: electronic data interchange, file, HTTP, SFTP, FTP SMTP, POP3, SOAP, SQL, MSMQ, MLLP, Azure Logic App, Azure API Management, Microsoft SharePoint Server, IBM mainframe zSeries (CICS and IMS) and midrange IBM i (previously AS/400) systems, IBM Db2, IBM WebSphere MQ adapters.[21]

The WCF Adapter set[22] was added with 2006 R2. It includes: WCF-WSHttp, WCF-BasicHttp, WCF-NetTcp, WCF-NetMsmq, WCF-NetNamedPipe, WCF-Custom, WCF-CustomIsolated adapters. Microsoft also ships a BizTalk Adapter Pack that includes WCF-based adapters for LOB systems. Currently, this includes adapters for SAP and Oracle database, Oracle E-Business Suite, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, PeopleSoft Enterprise and Siebel Systems.

Additional adapters[19] (for Active Directory, for example) are available from third party Microsoft BizTalk core partners.
