BizTalk Server Teach me something new about Flat Files (or not) - Part II

This is the second part of Sandro Pereira’s earlier presentation on flat files on Integration Monday. You can watch the video recording of the previous session here. Despite the years, new protocols, formats, or patterns have emerged, such as Web Services, WCF RESTful services, XML, and JSON, among others. The use of text files (Flat Files) in CSV (Comma Separated Values) or TXT, one of the oldest common patterns for exchanging messages, remains today one of the most widely used standards in systems integration and/or communication with business partners. While tools like Excel can help us interpret such files, this process is always iterative and requires a few user inputs so that the software can determine where to separate the fields/columns and the data type of each field. But for system integration (Enterprise Application Integration), such as BizTalk Server, you must eliminate ambiguity so that these operations can be performed thousands of times with confidence and without having recourse to a manual operator.
