        Hi Everyone,

        I am new to BizTalk. We have a requirement to receive XML data from our customers via the Web and have to process that data and update our mainframe and send an XML file response if it is successful or not.

        How do I get about it?

        Do I have to create a Web Service to process the XML files into the orchestration? If so how do I do this?

         

        Appreciate help

         

        Thanks

          You can create a web service that your customers can call to pass you the Xml data.

          Firstly you need to create a schema to define the message formats, both request and response. Then create an orchestration with a request response port (make this public) to receive the Xml message and return a response. In your orchestration perform the required logic to update the mainframe (HIS integration?, flat file creation? …). Then generate the response message.

          Once you have built this solution you can use the Biztalk WCF publishing Wizard that will generate the IIS virtual directory. You can either use the schema definitions and construct your interface or you can use the orchestration port
