BizTalk_PrintSystem

This project is a learning-oriented proof of concept demonstrating how to use Microsoft BizTalk Server to automate a simple document handling and printing workflow.

Project Goal

To simulate a basic enterprise workflow where:

• Files are dropped into specific folders.
• BizTalk detects the files via receive ports.
• Data is processed and transformed via pipelines and maps.
• Output is redirected toward a simulated print system or logging system.

The goal was to explore the capabilities of BizTalk and learn how to integrate systems using drag-and-drop actions and BizTalk’s orchestration engine.

📁 Structure

• Schemas/ – XML schemas used to validate input/output.
• Maps/ – BizTalk maps used to transform data formats.
• Orchestrations/ – Defines the logic flow.
• Bindings/ – Environment-specific configuration files.
• TestFiles/ – Example XML files to test the system.

Requirements

• Microsoft BizTalk Server (2013 or later recommended)
• Visual Studio with BizTalk Development Tools
• Optional: A virtual printer or console log for testing output

📝 Notes

• This is not a production-ready system.
• It was built to learn BizTalk fundamentals in an academic context.
