Microsoft Biztalk Server Microsoft BizTalk Server From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Microsoft BizTalk Server, often referred to as simply "BizTalk", is an Enterprise Service Bus. Through the use of "adapters" which are tailored to communicate with different software systems used in an enterprise, it enables companies to automate business processes. Offered by Microsoft, it provides the following functions: Enterprise Application Integration,Business Process Automation, Business-to- business Communication, Message broker, and Business Activity Monitoring. Recently[when?] the BizTalk Server is repositioned not only as the Application Integration Server but also as the Application Server. In a common scenario, BizTalk enables companies to integrate and manage automated business processes by exchanging business documents such as purchase orders and invoices between disparate applications, within or across organizational boundaries. Human-centric processes cannot be implemented directly with BizTalk Server and need additional applications like Microsoft SharePoint server. 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, etc.). 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, or pipelines.

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 monitoring deployments and operations of solutions, etc. on BizTalk servers in your environment. Built-in EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) functionality supporting X12 and EDIFACT, as of BizTalk 2006 R2. Accelerators which offer support for standards like RosettaNet, HL7, SWIFT, etc. 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, SQL Server, and SharePoint to allow interaction with a user participating in a workflow process. Extensive support for Webservices (consuming and exposing) RFID support, as of BizTalk 2006 R2. [edit]Architecture The BizTalk Server runtime is built on a publish/subscribe architecture, sometimes called "content-based publish/subscribe". Messages are published into the system, and then received by one or more subscribers.[2] BizTalk makes processing safe by serialization (called dehydration in Biztalk's terminology) 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. [edit]Adapters See [3]. BizTalk uses adapters for communications with different protocols, and specific software products such as SharePoint. Some of the adapters are: EDI, File, HTTP, FTP, SFTP,SMTP, POP3, SOAP, SQL, MSMQ, Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) adapters. The WCF adapter set was added with 2006 R2. Microsoft also ships a BizTalk Adapter Pack that includes WCF-based adapters for Line of Business systems. Currently, this includes adapters for SAP, Oracle database, Oracle E-Business Suite, SQL, and Siebel. [edit]References 1. ^ "BizTalk 2009 R2 gets a new name; still due in 2010".

  • Writing a Message Broker in Golang
    Writing a Message Broker in GoLang George Vanburgh Supervised by Alvaro A.A. Fernandes May 3, 2016 A report submitted in part fulfilment of the degree of BSc (Hons) in Computer Science with Industrial Experience Abstract This report details an exercise in learning and evaluating the 'Go' programming language, by building a feature-rich application message broker using modern software engineering techniques and best practises. Some of the unique features of Go are presented, and the importance and relevance of these features in building simple, high-performance distributed software is explored. Discussion of the novel 'CSP-style' concurrency features in Go lead to an unorthodox design proposal for an enterprise-style messaging broker - George's Asynchronous Message Broker (gamq). The implementation of gamq is then is then described and critiqued. Finally, the process and results of the software testing are presented, and analysed.

Their primary goal is to facilitate the construction of decentralized topolo- gies without single points of failure, enabling fault tol- erance and high availability. These characteristics make them optimal for usage within distributed architectures. However, there are multiple protocols built to achieve this, and it would be beneficial to have a empirical comparison between their features and performance to determine their real-world applicability.

  • Message-Oriented Middleware As a Queue Management Solution to Improve Job Handling Within an E- Commerce System
    DEGREE PROJECT IN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2018 Message-Oriented Middleware as a Queue Management Solution to Improve Job Handling within an E- Commerce System TOBIAS JOHANSSON KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE CONTENTS 1 Abstract Today’s applications are required to continuously adapt and adjust, to be able to meet a constant change in demand. As result of an in- creasing amount of data, choosing the right communication method becomes a vital step. A solution that have been functional for a long time, may at any point in time be unable to reach the level it requires and instead turns into bottlenecks and inefficient solutions. Using a database as a communication method between system enti- ties, does not have to be a bad solution. A database has it perks with being a simple solution and efficient query operations. However, us- ing it as a queue management system, requires entities to continuously poll new table entries. This solution may not be the most suitable nor best available option. There exists communication system developed for the specific purpose of efficiently distributing messages to avail- able parties. Implementing a message-oriented middleware enables for asynchronous communication which promotes applications to be more loosely cou- pled. As a result, available resources could be better utilised and im- prove the system performance. This degree project investigates the development and integration of two message-oriented middlewares, RabbitMQ and AcviteMQ, within an e-commerce system. The pur- pose is to explore the potentials of changing queue management sys- tem from a database to a message broker.

This paper discusses about why AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) technology is better at handling load than traditional REST (Representational State Transfer) communication. AMQP seems to be promising technology specially when there is massive data that is communicated between micro-services.
