BizTalk Server
BizTalk Server Class at ITM
Despite the trend towards service-oriented architectures, most organizations
don’t have the luxury of moving all of their investments in that direction at
once. The fact is most will have to deal with legacy applications for some time
to come.And to complicate matters further, typical business processes transcend
multiple heterogeneous applications making them difficult to automate.
BizTalk
Server (BTS) 2006 was specifically designed to bridge such integration gaps and
simplify business process automation.
By combining the connectivity provided by
its messaging engine with the productivity provided by its orchestration engine,
BizTalk Server 2006 can help you tackle tough business process scenarios in your
connected systems today.

Who Should Attend
Developers interested in learning about BTS 2006, and how it can be used to
solve integration and business process automation challenges throughout
traditional enterprise systems.
Prerequisites:
Experience programming in C# using Visual Studio .NET and working knowledge
of XML and Web services terminology is required. Experience with prior BizTalk
versions is not required.
What you should expect to learn:
You will learn how to incorporate BTS 2006 into your connected systems.
Specifically, you’ll learn how to design message schemas, schema maps, and
orchestrations using the Visual Studio .NET design tools. You’ll also learn how
to deploy and configure BizTalk solutions, and how to test, debug, and track
activity throughout the process. You’ll learn how to leverage some of BizTalk’s
more advanced services such as Business Activity Monitoring and the Microsoft
Business Rule Engine. By the end of the course, you should feel comfortable with
applying BizTalk Server 2006 to solve your integration needs.
Questions this course will answer:
- What is BTS 2006 and why would I want to use it? Are there
specific enterprise scenarios where it really makes sense?
- How can I install and configure BizTalk Server 2006,
especially in a development environment? Are there any guidelines for doing
this?
- What development tools come with BTS 2006, and how does it
integrate with VS.NET?
- What is the typical development process for designing and
building a BizTalk solution?
- How do I define schemas, maps, and orchestrations? Also, how
do I integrate my orchestrations with other nodes in my system?
- What adaptors does BizTalk come with out of the box, and
what protocols do they support?
- Is it possible to define custom business rules and use them
within a BizTalk orchestration? Can such business rules be changed at runtime
without rebuilding the solution?
- How do you deploy, test, and debug a BizTalk solution?
- How do you track business activity and monitor the solution
for health at runtime?
- What is Business Activity Monitoring and how does it work?
- How does BizTalk’s support for Web services work? Is it
possible to publish an orchestration as a Web service, and is it possible to
consume Web services from an orchestration?
- Are there any best practices for working with BTS 2006
today?
- What implications does Windows Workflow Foundation have for
BizTalk Server 2006?
