Biztalk and ddl from Oracle

Question

I have a number of vendor databases with this same data in slightly different formats (some mssql 2008 som oracle 11g).
What i need to do is try to map from all these data sets to an authoritative one . For instance DataSet1 from MSSQL2008 might contain a Dr. billing number but the billing address is their home address not the clinic address which I would get from DataSet2
ona Oracle 11g data base for instance. Is there a way in biztalk to aggregate this data from these dispariate datasources and build an autoratative datasset in BT?
Currently I have all the relevant datasets defined in DMD format in Oracle  SQl data modeler format is there a way to import that into BT and "link" the relevant fields?

Answer 1

What you need to do is to convert your DMD into an XSD. The common representation will become the "common" schema. You will use this to build the process/orchestration/action for handling th Data.
Then for every database you need to connect to, you will use the BizTalk Add Adapter Services (through VS) to generate DB instance specific schema. You will then create a MAP (for each unique instance) where you will map elements from the specific DB instance
into the "common" schema. You will then create One Receive Port will multiple receive locations (every time you use Add Adapter Services, BizTalk will generate a Binding file for you which can be used to create the receive ports/locations). The MAP will need
to be assigned to the Port.
So when BizTalk will get the data from the specific database, the XML will be matched to the appropriate MAP which will convert it into a standard (common) representation.
