(MCTS) Microsoft BizTalk Server (70-595) Certification and Assessment Guide: Second Edition

Chapter 2. Developing BizTalk Artifacts – Creating Schemas and Pipelines

This chapter maps to parts of the Developing BizTalk Artifacts section of the exam. It is not an introduction to developing BizTalk Artifacts, instead it will point out some of the most relevant areas where you should have a proven practice today in your BizTalk development; these in turn are areas that you need to know about when taking the exam.

This builds on and leverages the knowledge we acquired in the first chapter about how to compose messaging architectures by involving Schemas and Pipelines instead of just passing untyped messages. The objective of Developing BizTalk Artifacts is split into three logically coherent chapters of manageable size, so that you can focus your effort on the area where you most need to improve. This is the first, and it covers these main areas:

  • Creating Schemas

  • Creating Pipelines

  • Testing your knowledge

The section in the certification skills measured, called Construct Messages, does not...

Creating Schemas


Creating Schemas is core to handling messages in BizTalk Server. It's not uncommon to come across poorly created Schemas, without namespaces, with only string types, with mandatory fields not specified and not followed, or simply with everything optional. To create truly usable and explanatory Schemas that promote re-use and coherence, we need to go further. This section helps with that.

Type of Schemas

Schemas are used in BizTalk Server for several purposes, these include:

  • Describing, receiving, and parsing XML documents

  • Describing, receiving, and parsing Flat Files (non-XML text files)

  • Describing context properties (property Schemas)

XML Schemas

A Schema or XML Schema is a special kind of XML-formatted file that describes the format of another XML file, using a standardized form. XML Schemas are not only used to describe and parse XML documents. They also describe Flat File structures as well as context properties.

Envelope Schemas

An Envelope Schema is an XML Schema that has a...

Creating Pipelines


Pipelines are meant for pre- or post-processing of messages as they enter or leave BizTalk Server. In special cases, they may also be used from within BizTalk Server Orchestrations to perform specialized tasks, such as splitting or aggregating a message. Pipelines execute between the Adapter and the Map, or vice versa for Send Ports, as shown in the following diagram:

When receiving a message into BizTalk, the components displayed in the preceding diagram are triggered in the order Receive Port, Receive Location, Adapter, Pipeline, MapMessageBox ( - Subscription(s) )—Send Port, Map, Pipeline, Adapter.

There are two approaches to Pipelines in the BizTalk Server development; use the out of the box ones available when you install or create your own. Although the first approach will, and should be your starting point, you will often end up creating your own. When you do, it's important that you know which Pipeline components are available. Knowledge of Pipeline components and...

Testing your knowledge


  1. Rob, a developer at HWLC motors, is working with a Schema that is to hold supplier contact details. Just the other week, the team finished work on a Customer Schema. Both have e-mail addresses. While working with the Customer Schema, they created an EmailAddress type with a restriction for e-mail addresses that he would like to reuse in the Supplier Schema. The Customer and Supplier Schemas are in different namespaces. What should he do?

    1. Import the Customer Schema to the Supplier Schema, and set the Data Type of all e-mail addresses in the Supplier Schema to the EmailAddress type defined in the Customer Schema.

    2. Include the Customer Schema in the Supplier Schema to be able to set the EmailAddress type as the Data Type of the e-mail addresses in the Supplier Schema.

    3. Import the Supplier Schema to the Customer Schema, and set the Data Type property of all e-mail addresses in the Supplier Schema to the EmailAddress type defined in the Customer Schema.

    4. Define a new Schema named...

Summary


In this chapter, we learned about Schemas and Pipelines. We looked at how to create Schemas. We created hierarchies in and between Schemas. We investigated how we can control the format for Schema nodes and how to re-use those formats as types. We looked at property promotion and discussed its use. We then continued to learn about creating Pipelines and how they can enable us to secure our interchanges and work with our messages in different ways. We also examined how to build Custom Pipelines and Custom Pipeline Components. In the next chapter, we will look at the Developing BizTalk Artifacts – Creating Maps section of the exam.

Here it is a new updated version of the much appraised certification guide for BizTalk Server. The first edition of this guide was targeted for BizTalk Server 2010. The second is a new revised edition targeted for professionals that want to either take the 2010 exam or the BizTalk Server 2013 assessment. Being involved as a reviewer for both editions I can give you an honest opinion of the value. This book is a must have and read in case you like a) to learn the BizTalk Server product better and/or b) want to prepare for the exam or assessment. The authors have done an outstanding job creating this guide with up to date information and details of the current BizTalk Server product. And all of them are leading experts in the BizTalk world and drivers within the BizTalk community. Hence this is a very valuable resource!
