Building a BizTalk role

This section provides instructions for configuring BizTalk Server in a Commerce Server enterprise deployment. The computer that is running BizTalk Server runs the Commerce Server line-of-business adapters to accept and transmit business-related messages, such as purchase orders and inventory requests.

You can install Commerce Server and BizTalk Server on the same computer, but you must run the configuration wizard for each product before you install and configure the next product. For example, first install and configure Commerce Server before you install and configure BizTalk Server. Alternatively, install and configure BizTalk Server before you install and configure Commerce Server. The Microsoft guide for BizTalk installation is located at: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248681.aspx.

If you install Commerce Server and BizTalk Server on the same computer, do not reference the same SQL Server databases for both products. You should run separate databases for each product.
