BizTalk and POP3
This part of the BizTalk
Utilities suite enables communication with POP3 e-mail servers as part of your BizTalk
solution.
How it works
The following diagram demonstrates
how BizTalk
Utilities interacts with a POP3 server on behalf of the BizTalk
solution.
It accomplishes this by introducing two specialized components:
1.
A custom Receive Function designed to poll POP3 e-mail servers
at predetermined intervals. Below are some sample screenshots from the POP3
Receive Function Wizard:
2.
Complementing the Receive Function is the BizTalk
Utilities POP3 Router, the component responsible for forwarding the message contents to
the BizTalk Server. The Router is configured separately allowing you to specify
filtering criteria so that only the relevant parts of the message are carried
forward. It even allows for attachments to be submitted independently from the
message itself. Following are sample dialog boxes from the POP3 Router Wizard:
Summary
By bridging the gap between BizTalk
environments and POP3 e-mail servers, BizTalk
Utilities enables e-mail
messaging to act as an effective input mechanism for corporate data transfer
into BizTalk solutions.
