BizTalk Architecture
The architecture of BizTalk Server is designed to provide a scalable and flexible platform for integrating different systems and applications. At a high level, the architecture can be divided into the following components:
Messaging Engine: This is the core of the BizTalk Server architecture and is responsible for routing and transforming messages between different systems. The messaging engine consists of several components such as receive and send pipelines, adapters, and the message box.
Business Process Engine: This component is responsible for managing and executing business processes defined using the BizTalk Orchestration Designer. It provides a visual interface for defining workflows and automating business processes.
Business Rules Engine: This component provides a rules-based engine for defining and executing business rules. It allows business analysts to define and manage business rules independently of the underlying code.
Management and Administration Tools: BizTalk Server provides a set of tools for managing and administering the different components of the system. These tools include the BizTalk Server Administration Console, which provides a graphical interface for configuring and monitoring the system.
Adapters: Adapters are components that enable BizTalk Server to communicate with different systems and applications. BizTalk Server provides a range of adapters for different systems such as FTP, HTTP, and SQL Server.
Runtime Environment: The runtime environment provides the infrastructure required to execute BizTalk Server components. It includes components such as the BizTalk Hosts, the BizTalk Server Group, and the BizTalk Server Runtime.
