Publishing Web Services

Publishing Web services enables you to create a Web service that can submit messages to Microsoft BizTalk Server for use by orchestrations and other send adapters. You create published Web services using the BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard. For information about configuring a SOAP send handler, see How to Configure a SOAP Send Handler. For information about configuring a SOAP send port, see How to Configure a SOAP Send Port.

The BizTalk Web Services Publishing Wizard provides you with two methods to publish Web services: publishing an orchestration as a Web service and publishing schemas as a Web service.

You must install and enable Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and ASP.NET before you can publish Microsoft BizTalk Server orchestrations and schemas as Web services. For information, see How to Enable ASP.NET 4.0 for Published Web Services.
