As you most likely are aware, when a document is received by a BizTalk Server adapter, the adapter creates a BizTalk message for the document. The BizTalk message contains the document that was received as well as a message context. The message context is a container for various properties that are used by BizTalk Server when processing the document. Each property in the Message Context is composed of three things, a name, a namespace, and a value.
Message context properties are added to the message context throughout the lifetime of the message as it passes through the BizTalk Server. These properties:
- Are either extracted from the message itself, for example, order id or shipment number
- Or added by pipelines and adapters at the receive location, for example, transport name or receive port name
There are mainly two benefits of this context:
- The first is to provide the various components of BizTalk, an easy access to these properties, without having to parse the message
- The second is to support content-based routing.
There are two different types of message context properties used by BizTalk as described below:
- Distinguished Fields
- Property Fields.
In this whitepaper, you will learn the key differences between Distinguished and Property Fields but most importantly you will have access to a complete list of known property schema and properties used internally by the BizTalk Server out-of-the-box components.
