Biztalk 2009: Redirect a message to a different web service

Current State: BizTalk receive message via Web Service A (hosted on the same machine). BizTalk process the message and send it to backend.

Future State: BizTalk still receive message via Web Service A. If a field inside the message matches a certain value, BizTalk needs to send the message to a different web service (Web Service) on another server. Else, proceed with existing flow.

BizTalk is required as a middleware between Application and Web Service B due to network connection. Server for Web Service B only accept TLS1.2 which Application Server yet to support.

Is it possible to reroute the message even before it enter the first orchestration?

Kindly provide best way to do it with detail guidance on changes required or point to existing question or documentation if any.

p/s: Newbie to BizTalk. Let me know if further information need to be provided.

Solution

  • Yes, quite possible

    1. Promote the field that you wish to route on in the schema
    2. Set the filter expressions on the send ports that look at this promoted property

    Note: For TLS 1.2 you will need a Custom End Point behaviour on the send port to specify to use TLS 1.2.
