Receive Adapters
Receive Adapters are a type of adapter in BizTalk Server that enable the receiving of messages from external systems or protocols. Receive adapters are used to listen for incoming messages on a specific port and to forward those messages to BizTalk Server for processing. There are several types of receive adapters available in BizTalk Server, including:
File Receive Adapter: This adapter is used to receive messages from files on a local or remote file system. It can be configured to monitor one or more folders for incoming files.
MSMQ Receive Adapter: This adapter is used to receive messages from Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ). It can be configured to listen for messages on one or more MSMQ queues.
HTTP Receive Adapter: This adapter is used to receive messages over HTTP or HTTPS. It can be configured to listen for messages on a specific URL or to receive messages using the SOAP protocol.
WCF-Custom Receive Adapter: This adapter is used to receive messages over a custom WCF channel. It can be configured to listen for messages on a specific endpoint using a custom binding.
WCF-BasicHttp Receive Adapter: This adapter is used to receive messages over the BasicHttp binding in WCF. It can be configured to listen for messages on a specific URL.
POP3 Receive Adapter: This adapter is used to receive messages from a POP3 email server. It can be configured to listen for messages on one or more email accounts.
Receive adapters play a critical role in enabling the integration of different systems and protocols in BizTalk Server. They provide a standardized way of receiving messages from external systems and protocols, and enable seamless integration with different types of systems and applications.
