Bridges in BizTalk Services Basic building block for building your integration platform A Bridge is a single message processing unit with 3 parts: Sources: From where the messages originate Pipeline: Which processes the messages [Flat file, XML, Pass-through] Destinations: Where the messages are sent to
Property Any interesting data in your message Defined in the Enrich stage of a pipeline Can be tracked as part of message processing Property source could be from: Transport headers/properties A part of the message (specified using XPath) An external data lookup System properties Use in Filter Rules/Actions for routing or in Maps Supported destinations auto-convert properties into meta data
Transformation Graphical UI tool to define your map OOB Support for more than 35 operations Supports custom XSLT and inline C# scripts Test the map locally and validate the output as well
Routing Rule based routing Message delivered to first matching destination Rules use the same SQL92 syntax used in Service Bus Topic/Subscription Rules Route Actions may be used to write destination specific headers
