They are positional flat file conforming to a US standard called "X12". There are rules for the files and they should be validated against these rules for file you receive and files you send should also be validated by the rules.
The rules are defined in an XML file called a "schema" (in R2 – in schema, in covast, they are in a different place). When Biztalk receives the X12 positional flat file, it converts it to XML in a process called "parsing". This happens in the pipeline component.
Then there is XML message in the message box and your orchestration subscribes to it. In your orchestration you put a map which converts from 270 xml to 271 xml, also retreiving the enrollment status from the backend database.
The output of the map is 271xml. It is then converted in the send pipeline back to X12 positional flat file.
