I was recently asked about how dynamic adapters work… Dynamic adapters enable the ability to register a Dynamic Adapter alias, or "scheme," that defines how the End Point Manager resolves which endpoint to configure. Each adapter registers its scheme using either the "AliasesXML" or "ProtocolAlias" registry keys. Below are the registered aliases for various BizTalk adapters:
| Adapter | Registered Alias |
| WCF-NetMsmq | net.msmq:// |
| FTP | ftp:// |
| WCF-BasicHttp | http:// |
| FILE | file:// |
| SQL | sql:// |
| SOAP | soap:// |
| WCF-NetTCP | net.tcp:// |
| SMTP | mailto:// |
| MSMQT | Direct= |
| WCF-Custom | wcf:// |
| MQSeries | MQS:// |
| Windows SharePoint Services | WSS:// |
| MSMQ | MSMQ:// |
| WCF-NetNamedPipes | net.pipe:// |
| wcf:// | wcf:// |
| HTTP | http:// |
| WCF-WSHttp | http:// |
