The BizTalk Mapping Patterns and Best Practices book is a reference guide mainly intended for BizTalk developers to make their day-to-day lives easier. The book offers insights on how maps work, the most common patterns in real time scenarios, and the best practices to carry out transformations. The author has been working on this over the last one year, and his original idea of publishing these information as a blog changed in the due course to become a white paper, then finally to a “Community eBook” with about 400-pages and contributions from so many people. BizTalk360 is proud to publish this book and make it available to the community.
If you are not yet Technodazzled, love the feeling of holding the book in your hand, find immense pleasure in turning the pages and love the smell of a new book, then this is the perfect recipe for you.
We printed 500 hard copies of the best selling BizTalk eBook and you could own a copy.

Simply move data to a different semantic representation without any manipulation or transformation.
Similar to Direct Translation Pattern with additional step of data manipulation or transformation to match the target system format.
Set up access to an external data source (say, a database) to enhance the message with missing information.
Similar to Content Enricher Pattern; difference in mapping technique. Multiple inbound requests mapped to single outbound request.
Opposite of Content Enricher Pattern; remove unnecessary items from message (even based on condition) and send what is exactly required.
Opposite of Aggregator Pattern; single inbound request to be mapped to several outbound requests.
Example – shopping catalogue where items are grouped under categories like Sports, Women Cosmetics, Electronics, Computers, and so on.
In most scenarios, Grouping Pattern and Sorting Pattern will be bound together.
To receive only portion of the data from the message, apply a condition statement to filter the result set at the source.
For instance, a record in the source system may occur multiple times in the input file. They need to be transformed according to the target system.
Ensures loose coupling between applications; if new application is added, only the transformation between the Canonical Data Model has to be created.
Target system requires a Name-Value Pair (NVP) structure; or the source system has a NVP structure and the target requires a hierarchical schema.
