Charts & IllustrationsBuilding Blocks for Interchanges
The BizTalk Server Preview provides a large set of built-in components and tools for setting up interchanges. BizTalk Server also provides APIs for plugging in custom components. The table below breaks down these offerings into three layers: delivery (secure transport of messages), message processing (analyzing and building messages), and document processing (routing and converting business documents).
| Tools | Built-in components | APIs for custom components | |
| Delivery | Wizards for setting delivery, encoding, and security options in agreements and pipelines. | Message delivery via FTP, HTTP, or MSMQ network protocols, or by reading and writing file system directories and log files.
Transport encoding using MIME. Encryption/decryption and digital signatures using PKCS and S/MIME standards. |
Interchange API enables applications or custom transport protocols to submit messages to BizTalk Server for inbound processing.
