Role of the Adapter Pack

Adapter Pack  Adapter Pack provides versatile and consistent interoperability with LOB systems like SAP, Siebel, Oracle, and TIBCO.  It is a collection of application adapters that enables any Windows application to integrate with LOB applications using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) programming model.  Introduced with BizTalk Server 2006 R2.  Adapter Packs has been evolving last years with more adapters and enhancements to support latest versions of LOB systems and SQL Server.

A little history …  First adapter Microsoft supported was SAP  2005 Microsoft acquired eight adapters from iWay before major release of BizTalk 2006  Adapters (Amdocs, JD Edwards, Oracle Corp., PeopleSoft, Siebel Systems Inc. and TIBCO)  Based upon BizTalk Server Adapter Framework  Subsequent adapters (not all) in later packs are based on WCF

Service Bus Messaging  QUEUES  Provide loose coupling between components and enables load balancing and load leveling.  Developers can interact with queues via WCF bindings,.NET API or REST API.  TOPICS  Topics are like queues except that they allow messages to be consumed by multiple parties.  Subscriptions are added to topics and rules can be applied to limit the messages received.  Can have multiple subscribers for a single subscription (for load balancing) or one subscriber per subscription (multi-cast).
