Chapter 3. Developing BizTalk Artifacts – Creating Maps

This chapter will discuss how to transform messages between Schema formats using Maps. This chapter will cover the following main areas:

• Creating Maps

• Using Functoids

• Using Advanced Functoids

• Maps and Orchestrations

• Testing your knowledge

The sections on Functoids will include a closer look at how to use them to incorporate the conditional logic, to control looping behavior and external assemblies, and to include scripting of different sorts in our maps.

The chapter will conclude with a discussion on how Maps and Orchestrations work together to enable multipart Schemas as the source or destinations in Maps.
