Chapter 4. Developing BizTalk Artifacts – Creating Orchestrations

This chapter covers Orchestrations and Orchestration shapes and logic. It will provide an overview of all shapes and go into the details of a couple of them, such as using the Expression shapes to call additional logic in .NET components. It talks about how an Orchestration gets activated by subscribing to messages, getting called or started as well as dives deep into the port bindings that are available, and how to use them. We will also take a closer look at persistence, transactions, and scopes, though using scopes for exception handling and compensation will be covered in the next chapter. This chapter will cover the following:

• Developing Orchestrations

• Configuring Orchestration bindings

• Configuring correlation

• Testing your knowledge
