Windows Azure BizTalk Services provide integration services in the cloud, extending the capabilities of Azure BizTalk. They can be used to gradually move integration logic to the cloud while adding value through features like reporting, e-invoicing, and tracking. Azure BizTalk Services integrate enterprises and the cloud through capabilities like EDI, routing to various endpoints, and connectivity to both cloud and on-premises systems through the BizTalk Adapter Service.

26. Extensibility
| Mapping
| Custom functoids (for mapping)
| XSLT
| Bridge components (like BizTalk pipeline components)
| Custom inspectors
| Custom endpoints
| Use customWCF Bindings
| Used for loopback bridges (EchoBinding)
| Good for custom authentication mechanisms (SalesForce,CRM?)

27. Custom bridge components
| Implement IMessageInspector
| Task Execute(
IMessage message,
IMessageInspectorContext context)
| Custom component properties
| Only string properties supported
| Attribute with [PipelineProperty(Name = "PropName")]
| Tracing to diagnostics (storage account)
| context.Tracer.TraceEvent(Warning, text);
| Property promotion
| message.Promote(PropertyName, PropertyValue);
| Message content
| Stream message.Data;

30. BizTalk Adapter Service
| Is an on-premise Service hosted in IIS
| Allows LOB Relays and LOBTargets to be created using REST
APIs
| For Development, there is aVS Server Explorer extension
| For Management, there are PowerShell Scripts
| LOB Relays
| Represents a connection to the cloud using a Service Bus Relay
| Can host multiple LOBTargets
| LOBTargets
| Represents an on-premise LOB system that is exposed to the cloud
| Is hosted inside an LOB Relay and identified by a unique sub path

32. Lessons learned
| Good for B2B scenarios
| Good for basic ‘pipeline’ capabilities as a service
| Extensibility is key in integration
| Configuration & tracking needs attention
| Combination with durable pub/sub on service bus is
really important
