Lesson 1: Define Schemas and a Map

In this lesson, you create and build the first project in the enterprise application integration (EAI) solution. The project contains two message schemas, and a map.

In the EAI solution, a warehouse system sends a request message for inventory replenishment to BizTalk Server for processing. In this lesson, you create the following items:

• The EAI solution, to hold the project.

• The project, to hold the schemas and the map.

• The schema, for the message the warehouse sends to BizTalk Server to request inventory replenishment.

• The schema, for the message that the warehouse is expecting when a request is rejected.

• A map, for reformatting a request message to create a request decline message.

  Finally you build the project before starting Lesson 2: Define the Business Process. In Lesson 2, you create the business process that routes the messages and evaluates the contents of the inventory replenishment request message against approval criteria.
