Quicklearn's Biztalk Server Self-assessment

1. What messaging architecture does BizTalk use?

Message bus

Point-to-Point

Publish-Subscribe

Enterprise service bus

2. What is the purpose of a BizTalk adapter?

Route messages from the MessageBox database to orchestration instances

Connect to external systems

Transform messages from one schema structure to another

Persist orchestration instances to a database

3. The BizTalk MessageType is the combination of? (Choose two.)

Target namespace

Assembly name

Version number

Root node name

Submit

4. What is the purpose of a BizTalk orchestration?

Acts as a storage repository for messages that BizTalk has completed processing

Automates the execution of business processes

Manages send ports and receive locations to ensure optimal processing and maximum up-time

Manages the communication among the MessageBox database, receive ports, and send ports

5. What is one of the functions of the MessageBox database?

Enables the synchronization of data to external SQL databases

Permanent repository for all messages processed by BizTalk services

Used to evaluate subscriptions and route messages to subscribers

The physical endpoint from which BizTalk receives email messages

6. There is a large amount of data in a SQL database. You want to replicate this data to another database on the same SQL server instance. How should you do this?

Use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)

7. What is the purpose of the MessageType in BizTalk?

Determines which schema the message is an instance of

Determines which XML, Flat file, or EDI disassembler to use when processing the message

Indicates the endpoint from which a message was received

Determines which send port that should process the message

8. Where can a map be used within BizTalk? (Choose three.)

Receive Location

Orchestration

Send Port

Receive Port

Business Rule Policy

Submit

9. What is the purpose of a Receive Port?

Provides a logical container for multiple receive locations

Processes the pipeline and a map when a message is received

Processes the adapter and a pipeline when a message is received

Processes the adapter, pipeline, and a map when a message is received

10. You receive a batch of 100 comma delimited messages as an interchange. The interchange must be split and the resulting messages routed to several subscribers. Which of the following solutions requires the least development effort?

Use the EdiReceive pipeline provided in BizTalk Server 2009

Create a custom pipeline that uses the flat file disassembler component

11. What is a zombie message?

A message that cannot be routed to a subscriber

A message that cannot be processed by a receive or send pipeline

A message that is delivered to a subscriber but not consumed

A message that BizTalk lost

12. In your process you receive a message that includes a customerId. You must enrich the message with data from the Customers table in a SQL database. Which of the following solutions requires the least development effort?

Route the message to an orchestration that queries SQL and then, constructs a new message with the required data

Create a map that uses functoids to query the database and inserts the data into an outbound message

13. You want to improve the performance of your BizTalk production environment. After extensive performance testing you determine that the MessageBox database is the bottleneck. What is the first step you should take to improve performance?

Add 1 MessageBox databases

Add 2 MessageBox databases

Add 3 MessageBox databases

Move the MessageBox database to another SQL Server instance

14. Which of the following tasks can be performed using the Business Rule Composer? (Choose three.)

Create a business rule policy

Create a business rule

Export business rule policies and vocabularies to XML

Create a custom fact retriever

E a business rule vocabulary

Submit

15. You want to deploy a BizTalk assembly to a production environment. What steps are required? (Choose two.)

Install the assembly in the global assembly cache on each BizTalk Server

Register the assembly in the BizTalkMgmtDb database

Install the assembly in the global assembly cache on the SQL Server that hosts the BizTalkMgmtDb database

Import the appropriate binding file

Submit

16. You create five Send Ports and a Send Port Group that contains the five send ports. You define the following subscriptions: ◾ SendPortA customerName=Contoso◾ SendPortB orderAmount greater than 500◾ SendPortC orderState=WA◾ SendPortD orderState=OR◾ SendPortE orderAmount less than 100◾ SPGroup1 customerName=Contoso A message is received with the following values as promoted properties: ◾ customerName=Contoso◾ orderAmount=1575◾ orderState=WA How many messages will be delivered?
