Pro Mapping in BizTalk Server 2009
Learn good map design techniques for BizTalk Server and you will make huge differences to the processing speed of your implementation, as well as to the scalability and maintainability of your code. Regardless of your experience, expert authors Jim Dawson and John Wainwright ensure you make the right choices to reap the rewards and avoid the potential penalties of poor design.
Pro Mapping in BizTalk Server 2009 provides in–depth coverage of all aspects of mapping to enable you to quickly and efficiently incorporate logic that will fulfill your mapping requirements. While the mapping techniques will be useful for all versions of BizTalk Server, the code is tailored toward BizTalk Server 2006 R3 and demonstrates the latest approaches to standard maps, EDI data, and RFID components. You’ll refer again and again to the multiple solutions that will help solve your new mapping challenges, and soon find this is an essential reference for any BizTalk implementation.
What you’ll learn
- Solve complex problems within the mapping engine rather than by resorting to custom programming.
- Become familiar with facets of the EDI standard, such as ASCII X12 and EDIFACT, the types of mapping problems these standards cause, and solutions to those problems.
- Discover a migration path for developers familiar with the Mercator, Gentran, Application Integrator, and other mapping engines to move to the BizTalk engine.
- Reduce the cost of mapping by decreasing the time required to complete and test complex maps.
- Get a clear description of the simpler methods that can be employed to solve seemingly complex problems.
Who is this book for?
This book is suitable for BizTalk developers of any level of experience who are faced with mapping challenges. The material is presented in a clear, concise way to aid understanding by as wide an audience as possible.

Author Information
Jim Dawson
James Lee Dawson spent his first life in the U.S. Marine Corps, gaining a number of skills that had no direct applicability to civilian life. He spent a tour in Vietnam as an infantry platoon and company commander, and left the Marines in 1978 as a captain.
Since that time, his new life includes more than 25 years of experience in technical environments, including working as a programmer analyst, systems analyst, EDI analyst, BizTalk integrator, team leader, project manager, and departmental director. He has programmed in C, C++, C#, VB, XSLT, PHP, SQL, HTML, FORTRAN, PL1, and Assembly. He has worked with the BizTalk mapping engine for the last 6 years, concentrating on creating maps for EDI implementations.
James is currently a managing partner of Second Star Professional Services, LLC. (SSPS), which provides experts in electronic commerce implementation and integration services. SSPS focuses on BizTalk Server 2006 R2; BizTalk Servers 2002, 2004, 2006; the Covast EDI Accelerator for BizTalk 2002, 2004, and 2006; and EDI mapping using Mercator, GEIS Application Integrator, and BizTalk Mapper.
His BA from the University of North Carolina in English enabled him to produce a number of obscure written works, including nonfiction with esoteric titles such as Mechanized Forces in the Link–up Operation and The Soviet Meeting Engagement, and fiction titles like Black Dugal’s Music Shoppe and The Sapient Sorcerer.
James currently resides in Siler City, North Carolina.
John Wainwright
John Wainwright has over 30 years of experience in various areas of information management, with extensive experience in software development. He worked in corporate, manufacturing, and consulting environments on a wide variety of systems including inventory control, shipping, distribution, cost accounting, shop floor control, and computer–integrated manufacturing control. After 15 years doing software development, John began working as a consultant in Electronic Data Interchange, focusing mainly on implemented EDI in supply chain management, transportation, and distribution. He has spent much of the last five years doing BizTalk mapping (he’s never seen a purchase order map he doesn’t like).
John is currently a managing partner of Second Star Professional Services, LLC. (SSPS). John and coauthor Jim Dawson tired of IT management jobs that weren’t any fun and started the company seven years ago so they could get back to doing interesting stuff. They now provide consulting in the EDI integration arena. SSPS is Covast’s primary integration partner (Covast made the Covast EDI accelerator for BizTalk, which has just been acquired by Microsoft) and is a Registered Microsoft Partner.
John has a BA in history from Allegheny College (interesting but not useful). He did graduate work at Temple University (more interesting and less useful), where he learned that an academic career didn’t seem too fruitful. Fortunately, he also learned some programming skills. He currently resides in Raleigh, North Carolina.
