Opening SaaS applications and cloud services to outside developers is becoming critical to achieve cloud-enterprise integrations, information sharing across affiliate Web sites and enabling mobile / tablet access to data. Controlling how API's get securely exposed to different consumers requires a simple, scalable way to manage API security, address versioning and meter consumption without burdening either application developers or application consumers.
Join eBay's Chief Security Strategies Liam Lynch and Layer 7's CTO Scott Morrison for this informative presentation.
This presentation explains how to expose APIs in a controlled, secure manner. To control and secure APIs in this way requires an API management system able to address versioning and meter consumption without burdening either third-party developers or application consumers.
SaaS is just a new way of delivering the same software and with that all the associated changes , including billing. The hidden costs like installation, customization, integration still looms large. For the small businesses consumerization of enterprise technologies is still a dream. However,there are some new technologies (like ontology, semantics, AI, cloud computing) that can make this a possibility in the next 2-3 years

HOW CAN POWERAPPS AND MICROSOFT FLOW ALLOWS YOUR POWER USERS TO QUICKLY BUILD...Sandro Pereira
Every organization faces constant pressure to do more with less. While technology is often the key to operating more effectively and efficiently, cost and complexity have often prevented organizations from taking maximum advantage of the potential benefits. The growth of SaaS (software as a service) has lowered barriers – no need to deploy servers or to install and configure complex software systems. Just sign up and go.
Microsoft Flow and Microsoft PowerApps will help these people (normally business users) achieve more.
We know not every business problem can be solved with off-the-shelf solutions. But developing custom solutions has traditionally been too costly and time-consuming for many of the needs teams and departments face, especially those projects that integrate across multiple data sources or require delivery across multiple devices from desktop to mobile. As a result, too many technology needs end up unsolved or under-optimized. We piece together spreadsheets, email chains, SharePoint or/and manual processes to fill in the gaps.
PowerApps and Microsoft Flow are both aimed squarely at these gaps. They give people who best understand their needs and challenges the power to quickly meet them, without the time, complexity and cost of custom software development.
In this session, we will look at these two new offering from Microsoft: PowerApps and Flow. What are they? How can I use it? But special we will walk through and create from scratch some live demos showing how to create Enterprise Mobile Application that easily connects with all your enterprise platforms like Office36, SharePoint Online, Dynamic CRM, on-premise SQL, Social Networks and much more and also how they can automate some common tasks using the new Microsoft Flow.

BizTalk Mapping Patterns and Best Practices at BizTalk User Group Sweden in Gothenburg.
Maps or transformations are one of the most common components in the integration processes. They act as essential translators in the decoupling between the different systems to connect. For me there is no perfect solution to solve a particular mapping problem, and most of the times we can find several ways to solve it depending on the experience and knowledge that we have or technologies and tools that we like to use, but all of them have advantages and disadvantages.
This session will provide you with common mapper problems and solutions, i.e., some BizTalk Mapper Patterns, specifying best practices and some of the best ways to address some of your needs within the context of message transformation by choosing the right approach and also to enhance your skills when using the BizTalk Server Mapper.

How to process Flat Files documents (TXT, CSV …) in BizTalk ServerSandro Pereira
Despite over the year’s new protocols, formats or patterns emerged like Web Services, WCF RESTful services, XML, JSON, among others. The use of text files (Flat Files ) as CSV (Comma Separated Values) or TXT, one of the oldest common patterns for exchanging messages, still remains today one of the most used standards in systems integration and / or communication with business partners.
While tools like Excel can help us interpret such files, this type of process is always iterative and requires few user tips so that software can determine where is need to separate the fields/columns as well the data type of each field. But for a system integration (Enterprise Application Integration) like BizTalk Server, you must reduce any ambiguity, so that these kind of operations can be performed thousands of times with confidence and without having recourse to a manual operator.
In this session we will first address: How we can easily implement a robust File Transfer integration in BizTalk Server (using Content-Based Routing in BizTalk with retries, backup channel and so on).
And second: How to process Flat Files documents (TXT, CSV …) in BizTalk Server. Addresing what types of flat files are supported? How is the process of transforming text files (also called Flat Files) into XML documents (Syntax Transformations) – where does it happen and which components are needed. How can I perform a flat file validation?

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

3. Introduction
The growing needs for information availability
and accessibility present new challenges for
application development.
Stand-alone applications cannot fulfill the
growing needs anymore
Integrating applications is a difficult task.
Ideally, a well-integrated system should offer
end-to-end support for business processes with
instant access to information, no matter which
part of the system is used .
5. 1. Integration Challenges
Different applications, developed over time
• Applications developed inside the company
• Custom-built but outsourced solutions
• Commercial and ERP applications
Different platforms, using different technologies and programming languages
• Mix of programming languages
• Different types of database management systems and products
• Different middleware solutions for communication
• Multiple information transmission models,
• Different transaction and security management middleware
• Different ways of sharing data
• Possible usage of EDI, XML, and other proprietary formats for data exchange
• …
6. 2. Types of Integration
Today integration can be seen in several layers. We usually start building the
integration architecture at the lowest layer and climb gradually.
The most important types of integration are:
Data-level integration
Application integration
Business process integration
Presentation integration
Business-to-Business Integration (B2B)
7. 3. Integration Infrastructure
If we focus on the required infrastructure services for integration, we can separate the services
in 2 layers: horizontal and vertical layer.
The services in horizontal layers will provide basic infrastructure services useful for the
majority of existing and new-generation applications.
The vertical layer services will provide functionalities related to a specific task within
infrastructure that can span through several horizontal layer services
Business intelligence

10. Business Process Management (BPM)
Is a field of management focused on aligning organizations with the wants and
needs of clients.
It is a holistic management approach that promotes business effectiveness and
efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility and integration with technology.
Business process management attempts to continuously improve processes. It
could therefore be described as a "process optimization process”.
• Enable business processes that drive new capabilities and competitive
agility
• Allow business workers to access and manage these processes
• Abstract business rules – to enable declarative control
11. Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA)
What is SOA?
A service-oriented architecture is essentially a collection of services. These services
communicate with each other. The communication can involve either simple data
passing or it could involve two or more services coordinating some activity.
SOA and Web Services: Two Complementary Talents
Although Web services do not necessarily translate to SOA, and not all SOA is
based on Web services, the relationship between the two technology directions is
important and they are mutually influential: Web services momentum will bring SOA
to mainstream users, and the best-practice architecture of SOA will help make Web
services initiatives successful.

36. BizTalk Schema
BizTalk Server 2006 uses the XML
Schema definition language (XSD)
to define the structure of all
messages that it processes, and
refers to the definitions of message
structure as schemas.
Each unique document type requires a separate schema that defines the records and
fields contained in that document. The XML schema defines:
The elements, attributes, and data types that appear in a document.
The ordering of tags in the document.
Fields that are mandatory or that might occur multiple times in a single
document.
37. BizTalk Map
A map is the XML file that
defines the correspondence
between the records and
fields in one schema and the
records and fields in another
schema. You create a map
when you want to transform or
translate data that you receive
or send from one schema to
another.
38. Functoids
Functoids perform calculations by
using predefined formulas to
process specific field values.
These calculations are executed
based on the designated order of
the records and fields.
By linking a functoid to nodes in
both the source schema and the
destination schema, data can be
concatenated; values added
together, date and time information
can be modified, and so forth.
If you want to implement functionality that is not available in the functoids that are included with
BizTalk Mapper, you can create custom functionality by using the Scripting functoid, which
allows you to access custom script or code during run time to perform functions not otherwise
available. For example, you can call a COM object or Microsoft .NET object at run time by
using the Scripting functoid and writing your own custom script.
BizTalk Server 2004 supports the following languages for the Scripting functoid:
C, Jscript, Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET, Extensible Stylesheet Transformation
(XSLT), XSLT Call Templates
39. BizTalk Orchestration
Orchestration Designer
You can use BizTalk
orchestration to create
detailed representations of
business processes that can
be implemented
programmatically within an
integrated design
environment called
Orchestration Designer. This
design environment
provides a versatile drawing
surface and a
comprehensive set of
implementation tools..
40. Physical Ports vs. Logical Ports
Physical ports are used to
receive and send messages
between BizTalk Server and the
outside world. Physical ports are
configured and managed by
using BizTalk Explorer.
Logical ports are used within
BizTalk Server to pass
messages to and from a BizTalk
orchestration. Logical ports are
configured by using
Orchestration Designer and
appear on the Port Surface
areas.
42. What Is the Publish and Subscribe Messaging
Model?
BizTalk Server uses a publish and
subscribe (or pub/sub) messaging
infrastructure that is highly scalable at
both database and processing levels.
This publish and subscribe routing
mechanism can manage large volumes
of messages (including large
messages) and interact with a wide
variety of backend systems.
Subscriptions are criteria that describe
which message types each business
process will receive. Business
processes hold subscriptions to
specified types of messages; each
subscription allows the business
process holding it to initiate or continue
the processing of one type of
message.
43. What Is Message Routing?
To enable content-based routing, you must perform
the following steps:
1. From the source schema for the incoming
message, promote the field nodes that will
contain the filters.
2. Create and configure both a receive port and
a receive location for incoming messages.
3. Create a send port, and configure a filter on
the send port to create a subscription for
messages that meet the conditions of the filter
expression.
4. Enlist and start the send port.
A typical BizTalk Server business process involves receiving, processing, and
sending messages. At times, you may receive types of messages (such as
partner-to-partner correspondence) that do not require intensive processing in
an orchestration, and could therefore benefit from a simpler solution.
Content-based routing eliminates the need for message subscriptions for
messages that are deterministically bound to specific ports, and provides
additional flexibility for users who want to route messages based on context
properties (or simply based on receive port configuration properties).
STAND-ALONEIt is necessary to allow for application integration within an enterprise, and, there are growing needs to ensure inter-enterprise or "business-to-business" integration.DIFFICULT TASKTo fulfill these integration objectives, several methods, techniques, patterns, and technologies have been developed over the years, ranging from point-to-point integration over enterprise application integration (EAI) and business process management to service oriented architectures (SOA).
Integration seems to be one of most important strategic priorities, mainly because new innovative business solutions demand integration of different business units, enterprise data, applications, and business systemsCompanies will typically have different applications, developed over time. These include: Applications developed inside the companyCustom-builtbutoutsourcedsolutionsCommercialand ERP applicationsThese applications have typically been developed on different platforms, using different technologies and programming languagesMixofprogramminglanguages Different types of database management systems (relational, hierarchical, object) and products Different middleware solutions for communication (message-oriented middleware, object request brokers, remote procedure calls, etc.) Multiple information transmission models, including publish/subscribe, request/reply, and conversational Different transaction and security management middleware Different ways of sharing data Possible usage of EDI, XML, and other proprietary formats for data exchange
Data-LevelIntegrationData-level integration focuses on moving data between applications with the objective of sharing the same data among these different applications. It is often the starting point where a company starts to work on integration.ApplicationIntegrationApplication integration focuses on sharing functionality—business logic; and not just pure data as in data-level integration. Application integration is usually achieved through the use of application programming interfaces (APIs). Applications that expose their functionality through APIs enable access to the functionality in a programmatic way without using the user interface.BusinessProcessIntegrationBusiness process integration enables non-compromise support for business processes in the enterprise where existing solutions take part in distinctive steps of the business process. It exposes the functionality as abstractions of business methods through interfaces.Business process integration presents the enterprise-wide information system as we would like to have it—or as we would build it if we could build it anew, with clear requirements for what we would like to get from the integrated system and with the knowledge and support of modern technologies Those existing applications are remodeled in a way that they expose the functionality of the business process tier and fit into the modern application architecture. Finally, the different pieces are glued together, usually by using a business process modeling and execution language, such as BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) PresentationIntegrationPresentation integration results in an integrated system that provides a unified presentation layer, through which the users can access the functionality of the integrated system. Business-to-BusinessIntegrationToday, the integration of applications inside a company is not sufficient. There are growing needs to enable inter-enterprise integration, often referred to as business-to-business (B2B) integration, or e-business. E-Business places particular new challenges for an information system.
CommunicationThe primary responsibility of the communication service is to provide the abstraction for communication details. It provides the transparency for accessing different remote systems and unifies the view on them BrokeringandRoutingThe brokering and routing layer takes care of implementing the technical side of integration. No matter what type of integration we use, this layer should adapt the communication between applications in such way that all participating applications will be able to interoperate. This layer is essential for integration and actually has a number of responsibilities.TransformationTransformation of data structures, their representations, and technologies has always been very important. In the past, small, custom-written programs that have read the source and transformed it to the destination format have usually solved the problems related to the transformation. With the advent and global use of markup languages, particularly XML, which has become the de-facto standard for data exchange, transformations have achieved a new level of maturityBusinessIntelligenceThe business intelligence layer is responsible for presenting the high-level interface to access business information to other applications and to the users. The business-intelligence layer presents data to users in an understandable form. With the growth of e-commerce, the business-intelligence layer also takes some responsibilities for B2B integration.TransactionsThe integration infrastructure has to provide the means for carrying out the business operations in a transactional manner. Therefore, it has to be able to invoke several operations on different existing and new-generation systems. It has to support the atomic ACID transaction model and long-running transactions with compensation semantics, usually referred to as business activitiesSecurityThe integration infrastructure has to provide ways to constrain access to the system. Similarly, as the integration infrastructure horizontal services define a unified way to access the different applications, they should also define a way in which to manage security, possibly in a declarative way. The security should include all four horizontal layers. It should be able to reuse the existing application security, and base the security on roles that are defined with a single user log in. The security system should not be based on different passwords for different applications or even parts of applications. It should relate to all the important aspects, like communication channel encryption, authentication, authorization, and auditing.LifecycleThe integration infrastructure should provide ways to control the lifecycle of all applications involved. It should enable existing applications to be replaced one by one or even by parts without having influence on the other applications in the integrated system. The replacement should be possible step by step, when business needs dictate it and when enough resources are available. It should also provide ways to do the replacement while the system stays online NamingA unified naming service will allow for the implementation of location transparency and will enable the replacement of one resource with another if this is required. The naming service in usually implemented with a naming and directory product that enables storing and looking for name-related information. Ideally, the naming service is unified and provides one logical picture of the enterprise, although it is physically implemented using replication and distribution to avoid a single point of failure.ScalabilityThe integration infrastructure should be designed with scalability in mind. It has to access information about clients and provide concurrent access to the applications. It has to incorporate solutions that will enable enough room for extending the load demands on the system. ManagementWe also have to provide ways to manage the integration infrastructure. Many solutions, particularly custom applications, leave this out, which results in difficulties at the maintenance stage. The management layer should provide methods and tools to manage horizontal and vertical services. It should provide easy configuration and version management. RulesThe horizontal services require specific rules for performing communication, brokering, routing, and business-intelligence tasks. These rules should not be hard-coded into applications, but should rather be declaratively specified inside the integration infrastructure. This includes the definitions, data formats, data transformations and flows, events, information processing, and information representation. Often these rules are stored in a repository, which provides a centralized storage to avoid duplication and inconsistencies.
O BusinessProcessManagement (BPM), gestão por processos de negócios, tem como objectivo prover o alinhamento dos processos de negócios com a estratégia (os processos são a execução da estratégia), os objectivos e a cadeia de valor das organizações.Um processo de negócio pode ser caracterizado como um conjunto de tarefas que envolve pessoas e recursos para que possa se atingir um objetivo previamente traçado. Como resultado deste, é gerado um produto ou serviço que vai ao encontro dos desejos dos clientes. Muitas empresas não dão a importância devida a estes processos, o que se caracteriza em um grande erro, uma vez que estes são cruciais à sua sobrevivência.
Service-orientedarchitecture (SOA), pode ser traduzido como arquitectura orientada a serviços, e é um estilo de arquitectura de software cujo princípio fundamental preconiza que as funcionalidades implementadas pelas aplicações devem ser disponibilizadas na forma de serviços.O termo "Service-OrientedArchitecture" (SOA) ou Arquitectura Orientada a Serviços expressa um conceito onde aplicativos ou rotinas são disponibilizadas como serviços em uma rede de computadores (Internet ou Intranets) de forma independente e se comunicando através de padrões abertos. A maior parte das implementações de SOA se utilizam de Web services ( SOAP , REST e WSDL). Entretanto, uma implementação de SOA pode se utilizar de qualquer tecnologia padronizada baseada em web.Freqüentemente estes serviços são organizados através de um "barramento de serviços" (enterpriseservice bus, em inglês) que disponibiliza interfaces, ou contratos, acessíveis através de webservices ou outra forma de comunicação entre aplicações
The messaging subsystem provides communication with a wide range of external applications through adapters. Dozens of adapters are supplied, free of charge with BizTalk Server 2006 R2 to handle proprietary protocols and to support the conversion to and from different data formats. Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) provides standards-based service enablement for BizTalk endpoints through WCF adapters and for Line-of-Business (LOB) applications through the WCF LOB adapter SDK. Messages are received and sent by BizTalk inbound and outbound endpoints. These endpoints provide versatile capabilities for parsing and handling messages as they flow in and out of BizTalk such as: message encoding and decoding, schema validation, and message de-batching and assembling. The messaging capabilities include a scalable, durable storage that enables publish / subscribe mechanism as well as robust and fault tolerant message routing. It includes single-sign-on capabilities and message security features such as encryption and decryption, signing, and verifying message signature.1. Inbound Message SecurityInbound message security spans from the point where message is read from channel to the point where it is published into message box. Inbound message can be secured in two ways – Encryption and Digital Signature. These configurations are done at two stages of receive pipeline – Decode and Resolve Party2.

Orchestrations allow for service composition in a declarative way (using visual shapes) to implement automation of business process or systems workflow. Orchestration engine provides a rich and robust runtime infrastructure. Orchestration and messaging capabilities simplify and expedite the implementation of typical enterprise integration patterns such as dynamic message routing and aggregation of services. Implementation of service orchestration for long running business processes is made easy though the built-in features such as automatic orchestration persistence and state management and correlation of asynchronous message responses.Key Capabilities:Centrally managed business processesTransactional and non-transactional message processing Intuitive visual designerFault tolerant runtime executionKey Benefits:Automates complex messaging patterns and system workflowsIncreases manageability and maintainability of process logicPromotes agile developmentReduces change impact through separation of concerns
A full-featured Rules Framework, that promotes modularity of business logic, code reuse, and simplicity to minimize the effort of business logic updates. The framework makes it easy to develop highly declarative, semantically rich rules that link to any facts (such as .NET components, XML documents, or database tables). It also provides a forward-chaining Inference Business Rule Engine and an infrastructure to support rule versioning, deployment, and updating.You can integrate business rules into your orchestrations to support a variety of scenarios: Use rules instead of coding and recoding constantly changing business policies and logic within your complex business processes. Incorporate a call and allow information workers to update business rules. Use rules to evaluate business logic and to determine when a business process requires a variable delay. For example, you might set up a loop to check on the status of an item to determine whether the item is in stock. After initially checking the stock of an item that is not available, the rule delay would be one minute. The next time, the rule would wait five minutes before executing; the time after that, the rule would wait 30 minutes before executing; and so on. Use rules to determine the execution path for a business process, basing the determination on the results of the rule execution. For example, if a customer does not exist for a particular purchase order, you could route the document to another business process to add the customer to the database before continuing to process the purchase orderKey Capabilities:Central repository for managing of business rulesAbstraction of external data sources through vocabularySeamless integration with orchestrations and .NET applicationsEfficient forward chaining rule inference engineKey Benefits:Increases decision makers productivity through automation Allows rapid adjustment to business changesProvides consistent rules and behavior across systemsEnables provisioning by non-developers

XML Disassembler: analisa as mensagens de entrada que já foram descritas com a utilização do XML. BTF Disassembler: Esse componente aceita as mensagens enviadas utilizando o mecanismo de mensagens confiável definido pelo BTF (BizTalk Framework), o qual foi implementado no BizTalk Server 2000 (não é muito utilizado hoje em dia). Validar:XML Validator, como o próprio nome já diz, esse componente valida um documento XML produzido pela etapa Separar mediante um esquema ou grupo de esquemas especificados. Um erro será retornado caso o documento não esteja em conformidade com um desses esquemas.Determinar Partes: o único componente padrão para esta etapa, PartyResolution, tenta determinar uma identificação para o remetente dessa mensagem
XML SchemaAn XML schema defines the structure of XML messages. This type of schema uses XML Schema definition language (XSD) to define the structure of an XML message.Flat File SchemaA flat file schema defines the structure of messages that use a flat file format. Flat files can be either delimited or positional.Property SchemaA property schema is a special type of schema that defines specific field elements that you want to promote as a property fieldPodemosaindaimportar, incluirouredefiniroutros schemasPodemospromoverpropriedades dos schemasValidating the schema. After you have finished creating a schema, or at various times during its creation, you can validate it to find out whether it contains any internal inconsistencies or other issues that might prevent it from being used effectively for processing instance messages.Generating a sample instance. After you have validated a schema, you can use it to generate a sample instance message. The sample instance message that is generated contains the element and attribute structure specified by the schema and generates fake data where required.Validating an instance message. You can use BizTalk Editor to find out whether any instance message conforms to that schema.
Data transformation is the process of creating a correspondence between the records and fields in a source schema and the often different records and fields in a destination schema.Data transformation can also be used to perform operations such as:Averaging data from a looping record and sending the output to a single field in the destination schema.Converting character data to its ASCII format.Adding data to or subtracting data from one or more records and sending the result to a single field in the destination schema.Data translation is the process of changing the format of an instance message. If your internal processes utilize only XML data, but your trading partner needs to receive instance messages in a flat file format, you can perform the necessary translation before you send such messages to your trading partner. Data translation can be especially helpful in solving enterprise application integration problems by rendering a given type of message into alternative formats required by existing systems.TypespfMappingBasic MappingThis type of mapping involves copying a value from an element or attribute that occurs once in an input instance message to an element or attribute that occurs once in an output instance message.Complex MappingComplex mapping involves records or fields that can occur multiple times for a single instance of the Record node or Field Element node in the schema tree. This type of variable count mapping is called looping.BizTalk Mapper consists of the following views within the Visual Studio .NET shell:Destination schema tree view. This view displays the schema that describes the transformed instance message to be processed by BizTalk Server.Source schema tree view. This view displays the schema that describes the incoming instance message. The links that define the mapping originate from the source schema tree view, passing through the map zone view and ultimately to the destination schema tree view.Map grid view. This view is located between the source and destination schemas, and contains the links and functoids that control how data in a source instance message is transformed to the destination schema. You work actively in this view to construct your map
A port binding specifies the entry points into the BizTalk-based application, and is used to associate the application with physical ports. The port binding contains configuration information that specifies where and how a message is to be sent or received.Web Service ReferencesIf your project contains a reference to a Web service, Orchestration Designer will detect the reference and make available a corresponding Web port type.You simply add a port to your orchestration and assign it an existing Web port type, and BizTalk Server will provide a complete Web port.Specify LaterYou can bind your port either to a receive location or to a send port. If you do not have all of the information you need to specify a physical location, you can choose the Specify Later port binding option in Orchestration Designer, and then you need only to specify the port type that describes the port. The information about the actual location will be specified separately, after the application has been deployed, either by an administrator working in BizTalk Explorer or programmatically, perhaps by using a script.Dynamic Binding If you will not know the location of a communication until run time, you can use dynamic binding. For example, you might specify the location based on a property of an incoming message.
