BizTalk

InRule with BizTalk

Key Points

• BizTalk provides a robust framework for batch processing and reliable messaging. However, many back-end processes require complex business logic for validation or transformation
• InRule ships with an adapter for BizTalk that can run within a BizTalk Host Instance
• InRule also ships with a DLL that can be called from a transform shape directly in an orchestration. Note that this approach is only suggested when rule request sizes are small (< 100K XML) and have short execution times (< 250 ms).
• For more advanced and scalable deployments, InRule can be hosted in a WCF service on a server farm, and process BizTalk messages sent using the web service adapters
