How to Use Maps in Orchestrations

BizTalk Mapper is a tool that runs within the Microsoft Visual Studio environment. You use BizTalk Mapper to create and edit maps in which you use links and functoids to define the relationship between an input and an output schema.

Functoids perform more complex data manipulations.
