Hi, Hope this helps. Generally we prefer using the Biztalk, but it is always an budget issue.
a) pros & cons of using BizTalk v/s File adapter v/s MSMQ? The BizTalk server is often mistaken for being a batch engine, if you plan to use the Biztalk server like that, save your money and use server executed batch jobs within AX 2009. Biztalk supplies a lot of functions in Process Monitoring and Business rules. The answer is hard to give, without knowing the use case. (b) Are all of them able to handle fail over scenarios? We need to ensure no XML should be missed. The functionality is basically the same and enforced my AIF. With Biztalk the technical failures are passed back to Biztalk and not thrown within AX. All Logical errors are kept in the exception log within AX, That is also the place where you need to fix it. (c) There should be a mechanism for acknowledgement timer for example, if acknowledgement is not received from external systems in 60 minutes, alert. (email) should be thrown. You should implement this using long running transactions within Biztalk. (d) Performance benchmark. Check the homepage from Microsoft. If performance is an issue, you should select Biztalk, this would move part of the Interface execution to another infrastructure.
