Logical Architecture [Service Broker]

Service Broker applications consist of Service Broker database objects and one or more

applications that use those objects. This section describes each of the objects that are used in a

Service Broker application.

There are three types of Service Broker components:

: The runtime structure of the conversation. Applications

exchange messages as part of a conversation.

: These are design-time components that specify the basic

design of the application. These components define the message types for the

application, the conversation flow for the application, and the database storage for the

application.

: These components define the infrastructure for

exchanging messages between databases and instances of the Database Engine.

This section also presents short overview of building applications by using Service Broker.
