can we integrate pi with Microsoft biz-talk?

[Bhargavakrishna]

I have a requirement for sending IDOCS from ECC to Microsoft Biztalk Server, through PI.

Is it possible to integrate both the Middle wares? if so can you please specify the step by step approach and also name some complexities involved in it.

[baskar_gopalakrishnan2]

Yes it is pretty much possible to integrate with Biz talk using PI middleware.   There are plenty of scenarios possible. Example convert Idoc to standard message format using web service (Soap) or file (file adapter) etc.  Talk to Biztalk team about their feasible support on their side.  Example if they support jdbc, soap or file use according your target adapter in the PI respectively.

idoc  to soap or idoc to file or idoc to jdbc. 

Please search scn for those sender and receiver scenarios. Hope that helps.

Hi Bhargava,

You need to discuss with Biz Talk team (Target Side) to understand which format and which type of communictaion they are expecting at their side. From the list of Adapters, I can see they have SAP Adapter. But you need to ensure with them.

Hi Bhargava,

You can go for File / HTTP / SOAP. Please find a below example of File:

Check the different adapters available with Biz-talk:

http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/adapters-included.aspx

BizTalk Server includes several adapters that enable communication to and from BizTalk Server and Web services-based applications via Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). The WCF adapters support HTTP/HTTPS, SOAP, MTOM, TCP, MSMQ, and Named Pipes transports.

Reference: http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/messaging.aspx

Check with Biz-talk team that what are the different adapters they are using.
