An orchestration is a visual representation of a business process in BizTalk that defines the flow and interaction of activities using shapes and ports. It is executed by the BizTalk orchestration engine and allows modeling processes to automate integration across systems. The orchestration designer tool presents a design surface to create orchestrations which are compiled and deployed to the BizTalk server.

- 3. What is an orchestration? An orchestration is the executable implementation of a business process, that is, a logical and chronological set of activities in order to achieve a goal. In order to interact with systems and applications outside the boundaries of the orchestration, you can use send and receive ports. Orchestration allows modeling the business process visually and it is the primary mechanism to automate the process within a solution. They are created in Visual Studio and compiled into .NET assemblies that are deployed in the Global Assembly Cache and registered in the BizTalk Management database. The tool used to define the orchestration is BizTalk Orchestration Designer which presents a visual development environment for specifying the process flow separately from the implementation of the individual activities in the process. It is possible to link each activity with its implementation on representing the interaction with an application or a system that is external to the orchestration itself.
- 4. • Orchestrations are executed by the BizTalk orchestration engine which is the maestro and runtime environment that manages the life cycle of the orchestrations such as instantiation, execution, termination and migration across host instances as well as schedule and monitor the interaction with external entities.

BizTalk Orchestration -Terms • Orchestration : similar to work flow • Transformation : make corresponding between source and destination schema • Message correlation : capture data and passing the data value between messages • Shape :visual representation of underplaying action • Orchestration designer :tools to create orchestration
- 7. Orchestration Design Surface • The name of the orchestration is displayed on the top tab of the Orchestration Design Surface window and in the Visual Studio window title bar. • The design surface itself is divided into three areas: the Process Area and two Port Surfaces. The central Process Area contains shapes that describe the actual process flow of the orchestration. It is flanked on both sides by Port Surfaces, which contain only Port and Role Link shapes that interact with the Send and Receive shapes in the Process Area.
- 8. “Important” • Many Orchestration Designer tasks require you to select various items such as schemas or orchestrations. If these items are not in the current project, you must remember to add a reference in your project to the assembly that contains the item that you want to select. To do this, right-click the project and select Add Reference.
