BizTalk Utilities Adapter for XMS
The BizTalk Utilities Adapter for XMS allows BizTalk Server (2004 or 2006) to interact with
Messaging based applications.
At its core it utilizes the IBM Message Services Client for .NET.
Message Service Clients for.NET provide an API called XMS that has the same set
of interfaces as the Java Message Service (JMS) API.
XMS supports both the point-to-point and the publish/subscribe styles of
messaging, and supports both synchronous and asynchronous message delivery.
Extending XMS

By default XMS supports the following IBM products:
-
A WebSphere MQ queue manager.
-
A WebSphere service integration bus.
-
A broker of WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker or WebSphere Business
Integration Message Broker.
The Adapter extends this functionality by using Pluggable Providers.
A provider simply implements the XMS Interfaces and thus allows the XMS Adapter
to communicate with other types of messaging systems.
The current set of providers supports the following:
-
JMS 1.1
-
WebSphere MQ
-
SMPP (SMS)
New providers can easily be added to the existing XMS Adapter.
Transaction Support
The Adapter fully supports BizTalk Server transactions. Please consider that
some providers are limited and that the documentation should be reviewed for
individual providers for Transaction Handling.
Enterprise Single Sign-On
Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) provides services to enable single sign-on to
end users for enterprise application integration (EAI) solutions. The SSO
system maps Microsoft® Windows® accounts to back-end credentials. SSO
simplifies the management of user IDs and passwords, both for users and
administrators. It enables users to access back-end systems and applications by
logging on only once to the Windows network.
All send and receive transports fully support Enterprise Single Sign-On.
