Answer - 62 : -
Dehydration is a situation when the orchestration has been idle for a while, the orchestration engine will save the state information of the instance and free up memory resources.
Rehydration is a message when received or else when a timeout has expired, the orchestration engine can be automatically triggered to rehydrate the instance - it is that point that the orchestration engine loads the saved instance of the orchestration into memory, restores the state, and runs it's from the point it left off.

Question - 64 : - What is Correlation in BizTalk servers?
Answer - 64 : -
An orchestration can have more than one instance running simultaneously. Even though each of those multiple instances performs the same action, it does it on different data contained within a message.
Correlation is the process of associating an incoming message with the appropriate instance of an orchestration.
For example, if your orchestration issues a purchase order, receives an invoice, and sends a payment, the developer must make certain that the invoice message is received by the orchestration instance which corresponds to the orchestration that sent the purchase order.
Without correlation, it would be possible to send out an invoice for thousands of items even though the purchase order is for one. And each correlation is based on a set of properties known as correlation types.

Question - 69 : - How to change the message type?
Answer - 69 : -
- Before jumping in to do as the error message suggests, let’s think for a moment about what that requires
- Inspect every Receive and Send shape to determine if it uses a Message variable that’s associated with the schema you want to change.
- It’s not a good practice to create a single orchestration with so many Receive/Send shapes
- Delete Port connection, once you find all the Receive Send Shapes.
- Change the message variable so that the message type property is set to the new schema and then re-associate the message variable with each Receive/Send shape.
- Find all the port Types that are associated with ports you disconnected from Receive/ Send shapes and reset their operation’s message Type Properties.
- Use a Multi-Part Message Type to wrap the underlying schema. It’s flexible and saves time in the long run.
Question - 70 : - How to use message types?
Answer - 70 : -
- Right-click messages in the orchestration View Tab to create a new message, you have four choices for the Message Type Property.
- Expand Multi-Part Message types and then choose to Create New Multipart Message Type.
- Name your Multipart message type and then expand it so that you can see its message part_1 member.
- Set the Message Body Part property to true so that it acts just like a regular massage.
