These automated processes are supported in BizTalk through orchestration.

An orchestration is an executable code that runs a workflow supporting a technical process. An orchestration interacts with outside entities by using the ports. These things together are a powerful infrastructure to perform process automation and support integration with different subsystems.

In an orchestration, you can logically and chronologically design a...
