Chapter 25. Microsoft BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet
By Cuneyt Havlioglu
In This Chapter
Microsoft BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet provides a flexible path to reducing the cost and business impact of building a RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) presence. The powerful combination of easy-to-use tools, robust business-to-business (B2B) support, and wide-sweeping application integration components allows organizations to quickly reduce the costs of managing their supply chain.
After briefly introducing the RosettaNet standards, this chapter describes the BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet architecture and shows a transaction process implementation using the Accelerator.
This chapter assumes that you have general BizTalk Server knowledge. This chapter describes the Accelerator but does not go into the details of RosettaNet standards or BizTalk Server related areas.
We assume that you have a general understanding of RosettaNet standards and the Accelerator for RosettaNet. The Accelerator for RosettaNet comes with a well-described step-by-step tutorial. We will not repeat those steps here, but rather give you a broad understanding of how the Accelerator plugs on top of BizTalk Server and everything works together. You are encouraged to complete the Accelerator for RosettaNet product tutorial before continuing because most references in this chapter will be in conjunction with the tutorial. This will give you a full sense of understanding.
To keep the story intact throughout this chapter, a single scenario is used for all examples. The assumption is that we are the Home Organization. The Destination Organization is our partner. We want to implement a 3A8 Partner Interface Process (PIP) with this partner, where we, the Home Organization will have the initiator role.
